    I get what you’re saying. People seem to view your comment as an endorsement of Musk, which it clearly isn’t. But if I had Musk money, I would love to tell a government to fuck off, because there are plenty of righteous reasons to do so, as opposed to just stroking your ego as Musk is doing.

      I know a guy who is quite rich.

      Doesn’t much care about speed limits because every time he loses his licence for 3 months he fucks off to another country for a while while he can’t legally drive here.

      Its kind of funny.

        Exactly why fines should be proportional to your wealth/wages rather than a random fee that hurts the middle class and poor immensely.

          Yeah, I do agree on this in general.

          Just cause this guy is a good dude for a rich guy doesn’t mean the system doesn’t suck.

      TBH if I had money I’d be minding my own business and using it to improve lives, but I understand the fantasy. Like playing Saints Row II, its fun but I wouldnt actually get in a car and hold somebody at gunpoint in real life.
