33. The same moral basis that Elon Musk is using.
Fri Jan 9, 2026, 11:52 AM
Jan 9

It’s okay for billionaires to allow AI to create child abuse porn and strip the dignity from women. Billionaires think of themselves as gods, dont you know? They have all the money, all the power. They have no morals. Only the love of money and power. The “Love” of money is the root of all evil, not money itself. We all like a bit of money, just because it’s necessary to live in our society, but most of us are content with enough.

This is the same morality that allowed a place like Epstein’s Island to flourish, where billionaires could abuse the children of the lesser ones. The same morality that Curtis Yarvin uses to suggest that the poor should be reduced to biofuel. It’s not really morality, it’s power gone mad. The same morality that allows mega churches to flourish and build millionaires from donations made by people on social security. It’s the same morality that make proud boys so proud. It’s just a lust for whatever power they can latch onto.
