    “Obscenely rich proud for poor people to celebrate him for doing less than the bare minimum”

    Other obscenely rich people doing less, doesn’t make this shit uplifting nor worth praise, it still is literally less than the bare minimum. Fuck this noise.

        Not OP, but I think he (along with other billionaire’s) got rich off of tax breaks and subsidies that were tax funded. No person can earn his kind of wealth on their own and without some sort of exploitation, usually of poor people. Paying ~4% is understandably less than bare minimum.

      Hey, don’t let good be the enemy of better. A billionaire advertising taxes like a good thing is better than anything I’ve ever seen Elon musk do.
