GEICO, the second-largest vehicle insurance underwriter in the US, has decided it will no longer cover Tesla Cybertrucks. The company is terminating current Cybertruck policies and says the truck “doesn’t meet our underwriting guidelines.”

Sure, but he didn’t start with millions or anything to invest, he started with money that he, himself, had saved up. He certainly didn’t have a normal childhood (he bought his first shares at 11), but this timeline doesn’t show much financial assistance from his parents, it shows a lot of hard work.
That’s a very different story from people like Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
Ahh yes. Billionaire was just a hard worker. Bro, he’s literally a professional investor. Aside from looking up data that literally anyone with an internet connection can find, he doesn’t do actual work. Investing isn’t a job. Also, that timeline is pathetic. A 9 year old could have written that and it’s just on some fool’s ugly ass blog. It proves literally nothing.
Look at his history. He started out selling gum and candy to kids at school, then took increasingly demanding jobs (delivered newspapers and whatnot) until he went to college, after which he worked for his professor (IIRC, I don’t recall specifics).
And he never was a day trader, so he’s not the type that’s making money on the margins off other traders, he’s actually investing and sometimes buying a controlling stake in companies that he believes in. If you look at his lifestyle, he very much doesn’t look like your typical billionaire, he lives in the same house he bought in his 20s, and generally lives a pretty modest life, especially given his wealth. Yeah, he makes a ton at his job, but he seems to be doing it because he loves his work, not because he loves money.
In my mind, he’s basically the best possible example of a billionaire. He didn’t do much of anything shady to get rich, he worked hard in his youth and invested wisely the rest of his life. And he started a pledge for other billionaires to donate the vast majority of their wealth, leading by example by giving away half of his wealth to drop from #1 to #2, and now to #10 or so.
If you’re going to criticize billionaires, start with Gates, Bezos, Musk, Trump, or Zuckerberg, not Buffett. Buffett is about as ethical of a billionaire as you can get, and while there’s room to criticize him, he should be nowhere near the top of the list.
I hope you get paid for this becuase this hellava shilling by one adult for the benefit of another adult man
Jfc… The bootlicking, never seen anyone do it this strong on fediverse.
It is a tankie strategy too, just keep repeating falsehoods with home it resonates with somebody since clearly people ain’t buying it
Just stop
They have to believe in meritocracy, that wealth isn’t intrinsically tied to exploitation and a long history of classism.
