2. Poor billionaire has hurt feelings

Go cry into your piles of money - it’ll help make you feel better.

4. And now he's the guy who's lost more money than anybody in the history of the world.

Kudos, Elon. Well done. Very well done.

5. Good times

6. 12 months ago, we didn't know any better.

Now, we can see clearly who and what you are. Just another spoiled rich kid who wants credit for things you absolutely did not do, and who thinks that money confers some kind of special talent. Where would you be if you were born to working class parents in Johannesburg rather than to emerald mine owning parents? Likely still there eeking out an existence. You aren't special. The only thing that has fooled anyone into thinking you were special is your money, and the fact that people didn't really know you.

Also, Hitler was "Person of the Year" at one time as well.

7. Hitler, in Time's January 2, 1939 issue

as "Man of the Year" 1938.




Edit: "Man of the Year" (now "Person of the Year" ) has traditionally been about how the person influenced the news, and not lauding them for their achievements.

8. True.

I understand that Person of the Year was about a person's impact on the news. Musk and his ilk, however, always seem to think that it means they are "the best". I was addressing that rather than the rationale for being Times' Person of the Year.

9. And?

Think about it, Musky.
Why the change?
You know the line "It's not you, it's me."? In this case it's YOU!

10. Today we talk about how you've lit a match and burned down

Everything you said you were.


Those paying attention are not surprised by the fire, the kindling was always there.

11. And now you are a POS.....

12. When does he start having rallies in the tractor pull stadiums of Dumbfuckistan, Murika?

[SergeStorms]

13. That was before...

everyone found out what a shit-covered douche-nozzle you are, Eloon. 🥱

There's nothing worse than someone begging for sympathy. Go fuck up another of your companies, Muskrat.

[MineralMan]

14. "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

[tanyev]

15. Go eat some worms, Elon.
