@sickburnbro @doctorsex @Thickasabrick @jmw150 the WASP faction chiming in here:

while Elon is not a WASP--we would never have him as a member in our country club--he is an illustration of how rich people are incredibly cheap. they really are like this. they avoid paying their bills unless their creditors are powerful and pay their help as little as possible. they think that everyone is out to get a free lunch from them (often this is true). because they don't actually work in the everyday economy, they have no idea how much things really cost so they think this is all reasonable.
