   People always point to ghouls like Musk when they say that money can’t buy happiness.

   Counterpoint: Enya. She made a load of money. She bought an actual castle. She retired to said castle to become a reclusive cat lady.

   Inspirational!

     @goatsarah Honestly, money isn’t why they do it. If it was only money that people like Elon and Joanne wanted, we’d have never heard from them again. They only wanted more power and influence.

     It’s what happens to people when all their most fabulous dreams come true, but they realise they still live in a world that they despise, and which hates them back in equal measure.

     @katiefenn @goatsarah Yeah. When you’ve stashed more money than you and your loved ones could possibly spend and you’re still compelled to go on screwing others to keep on stashing then it’s an indication of a hole inside that just can’t be filled. These people have a sickness and, far from wealth buying them freedom, it becomes a monster that takes them over and ensures they can’t be happy with ‘enough’.

     @goatsarah "Money can't buy happiness" is what rich people say to gaslight those of us who don't have enough of it.

     Money can buy happiness, Musk doesn't know how to shop

     "He chose... unwisely"

     @void Bill Gates has been running that experiment since the 80s and, it turns out, he hasn’t come close to bottoming out yet.

     The people that say "money can't buy happiness" always have some stupid hobby that makes them sad instead of happy.
     People with creative hobbies get happier with more money they have.
     I have a dozens of things i want to do that i can't because i don't have money.

     Elon bought a social media because people made fun of him there.

     Mark spends his time stalking millions of people and running psyops with CIA.

     Bill Gates is testing how awful a OS can be before people stop using it.
