“What is the point of fuck you money if you don’t get to say fuck you?” is the turn of phrase I believe. (Or in the case of Musk, meme lord when you’re not on the factory/star base floor)

Wealth has diminishing returns; he’s just trying to get more value for his exceptional personal wealth (and remember, he plans on dying on Mars, he’s playing a different game than typical billionaires). Status is his drug of choice, Twitter his platform. If you crave validation (Biden admin not mentioning him until recently, people buying ads in time square “say their [Tesla] name”), buy it if it isn’t given freely.
