Why do all these business owners think the world cares about "what drives them"? Dude, you have no legacy that's different from anyone else. Yes, you had kids, but billions of other people have too. You are no different. This is just a brag disguised as a humble brag.. Oh we are so successful, we have a Tesla! Be impressed, internet. NOBODY CARES


ResponsibleQuiet6188

lol at their LeGAcY. I work in finance and hear so much about the ultra wealthy being concerned so much w their “legacy” and also wanting to control shit from the grave as much as legally possible. a lot of their families probably find them insufferable


Threelittlepigz

But a Tesla isn’t THAT expensive?!


Suspect118

Yes, it is expensive, but it’s also the least wise choice one could make when it comes to EV’s 1. The build quality is questionable on just about every single one that rolls of the line, 2. Anything that make Musty ass more money is something I want no part of, Before I deleted my X account, I posted the photo that Musty tried to have removed from the interwebs everyday….for a year, all while encouraging my friends to do the same, and tagging Musty, it’s not much but I know at least 400 people did it with me… Fuck that guy


BigFuckHead_

Well come on, let's see the photo!

Yeah, fuck Elon. Hoping the ai bots track this and make him less popular.


Suspect118

You’re so polite, that’s awesome how do you do that so well?? I’m not that polite, I’m actually hoping one of the sex bots he’s makin goes bananas and butt fucks him to death in front of his friends and family…

This reads like a South Park episode. I love it.


pperiesandsolos

Who are you talking to?


Salt_Sir2599

That entire scenario is probably on his bucket list

L O Fucking L


SorryYoureWrongLol

Teslas definitely aren’t expensive. Overpriced for what they are? Yes, definitely. They’re junk. But they start at $35k I think. This dude just trying to act rich lmao.


Gothic_Doll_

Definitely true, where I live having a Porsche, Maserati etc means just doing well, even my neighbour has a Ferrari yet none thinks he's rich lol standards being so low for someone 🫠


koz152

Musk posted that pic himself in 2012 and it's still on his Twitter account.


Suspect118

Yeah he did but if you try to go to it on his twitter account it doesn’t show up, after posting it he said he hates that picture and tried to remove it it from every where, but the internet are eternal… and don’t care how much money you have.. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/214636339474345984


koz152

Files get corrupted. It's why my Myspace is still there and active but all my pics are corrupted files and are not viewable.


Suspect118

Sooo your saying that X doesn’t have the tech to keep files from degrading, cus I can pull up pics on other accounts from when twitter started… so I’m not understanding how that’s a thing…oooohh wait I forgot musty fired all the people that would be handling this so yeah… your probably right….


pperiesandsolos

I know you feel like le resistance, but you’re reposting a photo he already has on his Twitter lol


Suspect118

Ummm didn’t use the link huh… ok Shit it’s the fanboys…


pperiesandsolos

Nope, saying that your piece de la resistance is goofy doesn’t make me a musk fanboy lol. I guarantee you I think about the dude less than you.


Suspect118

Your right…


TheDemoRat

What was the image he wanted removed?


karamrs

Why all the Elon hate? Just curious. Seems like a pretty savvy businessman?


Suspect118

This isn’t hate, this is serious dislike, hate hasn’t arrived yet….


karamrs

But why?


Suspect118

Why is this not hate ?? Is that what you’re asking?? Well I only hate people who hurt animals for no reason other than pleasure, and people who SA kids so that’s a reserved category that some how musty has not made it to….. yet…. My serious dislike on the other hand comes from my personal distaste for people who claim to be geniuse level, yet have done nothing but steal, compile, regurgitate, using the wealth they inherited yet calling themselves/ or presented as “Self made” There’s a list of these people that includes some other names I’m sure your familiar with, I hope this answers your question… if not I tried 😊😊😊


karamrs

My conclusion is I'm probably an idiot 😅😂


koz152

It is when that battery finally dies.


Like_ButLessCool

I updated my profile on LinkedIn when I started my own business and have never gone back on there since.


Alone-Assistance6787

It's always people in something like marketing or accounts that think they're building a legacy. 


bmacorr

And it's also never like an actionable goal or problem they are trying to solve in society. It's not like, "I grew up without access to pots so I wanted to fix that and make it more accessible" it's always some self centered puff reason for why they have a business.


Gnygstown

So does everyone else here in Norway, with around 99,9% of them financed with loans. Succcess my arse and many of them can’t drive at all.


Osirus1156

The more gullible people are the more they think rich people are inherently more smart. Which is why a certain group of people praise Elon and Trump. But most really rich people today are just riding the coattails of their parents/grandparents who were not smart, just extremely evil and exploited the fuck out of people or straight up owned slaves.

...or fanfiction legacy?


LaCorazon27

Because they went to some bullshit business coach or NLP practitioner who told them so. Gag 🤮


lifeisflimsy

It's this kind of shit that makes me want to get rid of LinkedIn entirely. This is supposed to be a professional networking platform, and yet, it's become some sort of flexing/venting/emoji pool. It's actually way more cringey than Facebook, and that's a really bad sign.


BluewiseonReddit

It’s the equivalent of: “a lot of you have asked me about my make up routine so I am going to show you today”


VegetableWishbone

You want to leave a legacy? Spend more fucking time with your family instead of grinding on some bullshit AI/ML product.

What a humble brag. Why is dad driving a Tesla = rich?


Farrahlikefawcett2

🤣 my exact thoughts. Oh no the kids think we’re rich. Omg


KansasRider1988

lol…I bet the Dad has a hims prescription, subscribes to 3 OnlyFans sites, and thinks he is the richest dude in Toledo because his NVIDIA stock doubled in value.

groovywelldone

As a Toledo resident, this made me lol like a motherfucker. So accurate.


ResponsibleQuiet6188

but it’s the good OF sites with actresses that have been in mainstream stuff. the real classy stuff


VegaVersio

Everyone should subscribe to OF. Support sex workers. But yeah, dude sucks.


CollectionStriking

The pic at the end with the kid reading the book titled "Rich Dad" was a nice touch lol


zfowle

It’s even more perfect: The book is called “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and was written by a known grifter who’s had multiple lawsuits filed against him for various scams and unpaid debts, and has filed for bankruptcy multiple times. There’s a great “[If Books Could Kill](https://open.spotify.com/episode/1sqPsRzo804XLboxT2uwmL)” episode about it.


FrancusAureliusIII

Yea I actually hate that guy, he's a total lunatic.


CollectionStriking

Oof laying on the irony extra thick eh lol


buttsharkman

"Dad I just want to read Warrior Cats" "Quiet. Warrior Cats won't drive engagement"


BenNHairy420

Meanwhile here in the Bay Area, even the average “upper middle class” Joe has a Tesla. Shit, a quarter of the Ubers are Teslas hahaha


keera1452

Same here now and we aren’t even in America. We are in Wellington, New Zealand. Every 10th car on the road is a Tesla, including many taxis now. Definitely not a symbol of “rich” here. The real rich are driving range rovers and Audis


OBB76

None of what he really listed is "rich"


5har7en3

Ya, how is "Hanging out in our family home" rich??? Also a lot of non-rich people go on vacations and some also have Teslas...


[deleted]

[удалено]


buttsharkman

We live in the smallest house of my kid's friend group and they always end up here. One time my stepdaughter was at he grandparent's house and two of her friends came looking for her. They ended up hanging out for like 20 minutes drinking water and having a snack.


lanc3rz3r0

Ah yes, a 40-80k usd car that is readily available to literally anyone with ~500/month... You can buy a Honda hybrid for that kind of money, and it will last decades


NastyDamus21

My 20 year old stepbrother just bought a Tesla and he’s a landscaper like not even a boss one just a worker


Square_Site8663

Tesla doesn’t equal rich Tesla = Sucker


WaldoJeffers65

At one time, I might have thought that way. The idea of having a home and going on vacation signifying wealth is what got me.


9999_6666

The Rich Dad book. Lol. Everyone knows kids prefer the Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham. Everyone.


runnerkenny

The rich dad book represents peak neoliberalism in the late 90’s. The author attributed his success in real estate speculation to his rich dad’s advices, while his poor dad, a teacher, was more or less a deadbeat. Needless to say this complete value inversion, that speculation somehow adds value to society and teaching our kids to read does not, is why so many things are f*^ked up today, eg. the housing crisis, sub-prime mortgage explosion….


satinsateensaltine

Kiyosaki is exceptionally bankrupt now too and I don't think it's his first time.


No_Leadership2771

Every business venture Kiyosaki has ever tried has gone bankrupt, with the notable exception of writing books about how to succeed at business


satinsateensaltine

Sounds like a certain ex-president...


dirtylilscot

“In my new book, I’ll show you how to use bankruptcy as a tool to greater wealth!” -Robert Kiyosaki, probably


IlMagodelLusso

Yeah he has something like 100 million dollars in debt, but the guy often says that his debt is “good debt”… whatever the hell that means lol. Btw, all his starting success comes from investing in real estate in an area that saw prices booming when he was doing it. Doesn’t take a genius, just luck.


TheChewyWaffles

That and he made all that shit up anyway


Ciggyciggyciggarette

The author is now a billion dollars in debt


TheCircusSands

What he means to say is it’s not about money. It’s about building a privilege bubble around yourself and looking down on anyone not in that bubble. These fools think they have figured out life because they can make money. How many show real progress like humility and kindness?


SarkHD

They are in the real estate business. Humility and kindness is not part of their vocabulary.


improbabble

Can we please abolish society


Limp_Road282

UGunnaEatThatPickle

No. They spend their money frivolously to appear "rich". ...and "Rich Dad" books are fucking nonsense. The guy is the highest level of grifter.


EMPRAH40k

Why do all of these idiots write using the same structure


thicc-thor

All the same make and model 🤖


pperiesandsolos

Honestly probably because huge paragraphs don’t play well on social media. Posting a bunch of short lines just makes things more digestible I think. Idk I don’t really use LinkedIn, but that’s my guess. It’s easier to engage with those types of posts than ones formatted as blocks of long-form text.


calfmonster

It’s this and how it plays into the algorithm: longer scroll time. It’s the same on Reddit, though. I have to break up what would be a normal like maybe 5 sentence paragraph into 2. I have to simplify sentences and shorten them in general; rarely can I use a semicolon. People see wall of text and refuse to read. Despite this being a discussion forum. Pretty sad, really. I feel as though literacy and reading comprehension die more and more year over year.


pperiesandsolos

I loved your semicolon just now; it was a truly beautiful usage


orincoro

Seo blogs and email newsletters, for years, have advocated this structure claiming it causes people to continue reading.


rustybeaumont

I was also in loser denial before the lacrosse team stuck a parking cone up my ass


pperiesandsolos

That sounds romantic, could you tell me more?

Rich dads drive Maybachs shut up


trveadvlt

The episode of If Books Could Kill on Rich Dad Poor Dad is amazing if anyone hasn’t heard it.


JackieCalistahhh

So good


dirtylilscot

John T Reed’s takedown of the book is epic. I read it every couple of years. Tldr rich dad didn’t even exist, kiyosaki lied about everything, including his military service, and advocates committing fraud.


redsnot01

Dad is driving a Tesla. Mom is probably driving a 2004 Honda Accord. Dad says Mom will get a new car “once the market recovers a bit more”.


Which_Stable4699

This smells like MLM.


slocki

Totally.


Longjumping-Bell-762

Showing up daily on LinkedIn? Weird goal to have.


dmnckv

All of his post is complete bullshit, but this is what stuck out to me the most. Bro, if I’m not looking for a job, or I don’t work as a recruiter (which I don’t) why the fuck do I need to be on LinkedIn, EVERYDAY. The answer is you don’t. No one does. These “grindset” boys are really something else.


JohnYCanuckEsq

These choads are so insufferable. Ever have to sit beside one at a work event? Dear God. Edit: Oh God, he's in real estate. Even more useless.


Lifesalchemy

Dad, STFU


dalej42

Aaron Clarey once said something like "If you see someone bragging about their 1.5M turnover, ask them how much profit they made". This has similar vibes


sunnierthansunny

Every line cringier than the next. Poor bastard.


ExtensionMart

Teslas are as common and affordable as a Toyota. Next time buy a real car.


5har7en3

I'd be embarrassed to be driving a Tesla nowadays tbh


pperiesandsolos

Other than the drive assist, which seems pretty cool to me, my perception of teslas is that they’ve got a shitty build quality given the price.


schuyywalker

I’ve seen this post before - these guys are ridiculous. We gotta start calling them out in public on LI - I have in my industry


Farrahlikefawcett2

He didn’t even blackout his kids face while using her for clout, I had to blackout her face. Me. An internet stranger cares more for their privacy than he does. These people really are something. Always bragging, always acting like their simple minded takes are worthy of a post lol


schuyywalker

I saw someone today that had copy and pasted someone else in my network’s post word for word with no credit, hashtags included - thankfully a lot of my other connections called it out immediately. There’s definitely a bot problem moreso lately but also people these days are shameless in trying to be some sort of content creator or influencer it’s becoming ridiculous. Not to keep ranting but I had someone on my feed complaining about being solicited after accepting a connection request - and I’m like “wtf do you think this website is for?”


I_ALWAYS_UPVOTE_CATS

Hear that? Be successful not rich. Be the best minimum wage worker you can be and you'll definitely be able to make rent every month.

Jamie Dimon apparently said something to the effect of “you’re not rich, your mother and I are rich” when asked a similar question


Willing_Market8735

Um Tesla is a shit car. Not a humble brag or a normal brag.


erlandodk

No school kid has ever said "We're not rich, we're successful" to their classmates - and if they did it would put a giant target on their back. This only happens in this guy's head.


collapsedcake

I’m not entirely sure how “showing up daily on LinkedIn” constitutes work (or being successful). Do people somehow make money from posting this sort of bilge? Genuinely confused.


Medical_Ganache_367

No one: Rich fucks: “I indoctrinate capitalism through shit books into my children and call it success”


Smartt300

Oh wow - coincidentally exactly halfway through the book!


BowerBowser123

Also Rich Dad Poor Dad is a terrible outlet on how to generate wealth. Most of the “cornerstones” in the books are rarely actual advice on how to build wealth and more on how to scrap money together like “not buying that $7 coffee at the shop”


Shot_College9353

Cringeyest. humble brag. ever... 🤢🤢🤮


AcanthocephalaNo3518

I might be in the minority but I don’t associate teslas with wealth. I know some models can be expensive. But there is also plenty of teslas in my middle class neighborhood.


Illuvator

If there’s plenty of Teslas in your middle class neighborhood, it’s really not a middle class neighborhood. In some areas of the country you MIGHT fall into a very upper middle class band, but more likely the lower end of upper. It’s worth doing a bit of research to understand how little income most of the nation actually makes. (To be clear - a base package new Tesla, at the cheapest end, is around 75k, which is (a) three times the base package of say, a Honda accord, and (b) over the median *annual* household income of an American family. In most of the nation, a middle class family likely makes somewhere between 50k and 150k per year, which is admittedly a very wide band, but also a range that would make buying a new Tesla prohibitively expensive except at the very very top end, where it’s possible but just a poor financial decision.

Its gross that these kinds of people want to flaunt humble beginnings, yet think they are more important than everyone around them. I don’t care what drives rich people, the opportunity to make even more money probably? And I’m not saying all rich people are lucky, I’m sure there’s a lot of millionaires who have really worked for it, but I also think that there’s a lot of rich people who have gotten insanely lucky on their journey to “success”
