He has no soul 😐

Don't forget, he asks people to effectively "work for free" and has fathered children with 3 (or more) different women and won't pay child support.

THAT’S JUST EVIL 😈!!’

Carnegie was a robber baron like all the rest and only did those things so his name would be associated with good things instead of all the harm he did. No billionaire is a good billionaire!

History class at Pitt early 80’s, prof explained why there were so many Carnegie Libraries in the Pittsburgh area, “every time he busted a union he built them a library”.

I'm from Pittsburgh too. He gave all his fortune away to look good after his death.

George Soros, perennial punching bag for conservatives and anti-semites, already has given more than 65 percent of his net worth to charity. Can this be said of any of Trump’s billionaire donors?

He does zero philanthropy. What a greedy POS.

But… Carnegie was a eugenicist & union buster. Billionaire donations are…nice? but don’t erase some heinousness. These great men are mostly MAGA myths it sucks. source www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?R... and… from the Carnegie institute itself carnegiescience.edu/about/histor...

So a benevolent overlord compared to an unkind overlord?

Money and philanthropy, money and empathy, money and class are very different qualities, Musk has only money. He is a rather pathetic human. Just like the human he purchased.

Money can't buy character or far-sightedness. But, a legacy to be admired? Yeah, it can buy that.

And all to line his pockets with even more $. Sickening!

DOGE: Despotic Oligarchs Gutting Everything.

I stand corrected… The top income tax rate reached above 90% from 1944 through 1963, peaking in 1944, when top taxpayers paid an income tax rate of 94% on their taxable income. Starting in 1964, a period of income tax rate decline began, ending in 1987.

You've probably never said a truer thing

Carnegie only became altruistic towards the end when he became concerned about being punished in the great hereafter for all of the men killed and lives destroyed by his insatiable appetite for wealth. He was trying to buy god's forgiveness at the end.

And shuts down commercial air traffic by blowing up rockets.

He could've been remembered as a great man who cared about the world, the people around him. Instead, he's going to be remembered for trying to overthrow many governments, for firing people from important jobs, for taking food and medicine away from those who need it and for cutting SS and medicaid.

This is bad 👎 😕. I mean this is really bad 👎 👎 😳

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Lyndon B. Johnson

America is broken!

fElon is a wannabe at best, as he didn't create or found a damned thing; he BOUGHT companies that were already going concerns, and CLAIMED CREDIT for the work of others. He's a NOTHING, just like #traitortrump.

Don’t praise that guy, he was a POS. He only did all that to save his name; rich Carnegie was no hero, and was just another silver spoon bullshitter.

He thinks Americans aren't educated enough to work for big tech. WHERE ARE THE SCOLARSHIPS ELON?!

I saw the republicans tried to defend him stating that musk gave this and that many millions in donations last year. But I have yet to find out what good these donations did.

Yes, but let's put Carnegie in perspective too. His biographers prove that he was a ruthless employer who worked his workers 80 hours a week under terrible conditions and paid them poorly. He made a fortune and then late in life worried about the judgments of God and history, tried to make amends.

Eat the rich!!! No matter how “generous” they seem!!!

He also ok’d striking workers to be shot at so 🤷

Yep. HUGE difference

Why is an immigrant from South Africa and has absolutely NO experience in how American government works, making decisions that directly affect the lives of millions of Americans?

His greed and selfishness are appalling! How much is enough? Sad!

Compassion? Empathy? Soulless?

I mean. In his defense Elon is an entitled ass with zero empathy

Some of these billionaires are cancers on our society. To expect any humanities from Elon is just wishful thinking. Jeff Bezos's wife had to divorce him to ever get any societal good from his billions. They use us and country get what they want and spit us out.

Quite the contrast.

My My How the character of wealthy people has been down graded

Exactly.

bsky.app/profile/esqu...

One was a humanist, another a fascist

That’s the difference today- a lot of the wealthy back then thought it was their duty to give back to the communities/people and the country that helped make them rich- and most today just want more with a few exceptions

Elon Musk is following the examples of Milei in Argentina. Look it up on YouTube.

Oh, yes please. Make it so. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The unintended consequence of that is that Congress will be filled only with the independently wealthy, people owned by wealthy donors, or people asking for donations on GoFundMe. Actually, that might still be an improvement...

I feel like they put a dude in jail for something similar recently...

This take is beyond laughable. Carnegie crushed workers, opposed unions, and built his empire on exploitation. Musk—whatever you think of him—hasn’t "cut food and medicine" to children. This is brain-dead propaganda for people who don’t Google. Historical illiteracy mixed with pure delusion.

One thought the at to immortality was through benefiting society the other believes that technology will make him immortal

The difference between a ruthless man who discovered a little bit of a conscience and a ruthless man who never did.

Imagine! I thought a lot about this because there's so many different schools and large factories and many other things that left an amazing legacy of a wealthy person. Mansions and yachts aren't really a legacy for humankind. And you can't take it with you!

To be fair, his right hand man Henry frick was responsible for that, but Carnegie certainly did elevate fricks wealth to the point where he bore some responsibility as well

Thank you.

Ah yes the fella who ordered numerous massacres of laborers. Dems always looking for the good oligarchs and robber barons before actually helping the workers. Fuck musk but Carnegie? Really? This is how capitalism poorly does PR. #typical

Wait here. Hasn’t he bestowed upon us 14 little ocd autistic kids for the good of humanity? He is smart. His gene pool actually sucks.

Tax billionaires appropriately so that we are not dependent upon their charity to have a decent society.

All the court jester wants his money

If you agree, please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. It only takes few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

and had people killed that were organizing..

king of the dogebags

And they’re both monsters

Carnegie had empathy.

Carnegie was burnt to a crisp in hell ... This is the philanthropist you are looking for ... #SuckItBezos 💙🌊💙

There's no comparison

Selfish PRICK

He's a pusillanimous pile of excrement, in my personal opinion.

This is why investing in public sector and welfare is cheaper, a good idea and why the uk needs a cultural change away from Reform and the Tories!!! thebetter.news/housing-firs...

Andrew Carnegie, though long since dead, still gives generously. What will be Musk's legacy be: the man who talked of the stars but gave mud?

He’s an evil POS!

Carnegie said, the man who dies rich dies disgraced.

I was a worse human when I believed the way you do. I'm not sure that's as convincing an argument as you think it is.

Well. One is a sociopath who thinks empathy is a weakness. So,,,,, I’m 100% sure Elon can’t wait to get the mass murder train rolling.

Carnegie said that the rich man's shame was to die rich. Great wealth was to be used for the greater good.

They fell for the Golden calf!👹

Elon Musk? Do you mean the unelected IMMIGRANT co-president who is actively DESTROYING the Federal Government? That Elon Musk?

It is incomprehensible that Musk is exactly the opposite. 🤬

AI: "Ridden out on the rails" means to be forcefully expelled from a community or town, often as a punishment, where the person is placed on a rail and carried out of the area, essentially "being run out of town on a rail"; this is an old-fashioned idiom signifying a harsh, public form of exile.

He also slaughtered many workers dead. Carnegie obviously was visited by at least one of the ghosts of Christmas at some point after this.

The difference between greatness and human garbage.

Yeah, whatever happened to philanthropy? Trump hasn't ever given one single dollar to charity either, or done anything worthwhile for anyone or for our country. He's just a mean, cheap bastard.

I believe it was on the Joe Rogan show that Musk said that to be truly rich, one cannot have empathy.

Someone send this to Elon

Trump loves to see his name on Buildings Venues like Golf ⛳️ Tourneys He talks about this ad nauseum slaps a Gold Sign where ever w his name How many Hospitals Libraries College Campuses zoo exhibit Park multipurpose Arena Concert Hall Museum wing even a Veterans Ball field is his name on anywhere

Philanthropy will never be in Elon Musk’s vocabulary.. the word “neutered” won’t either, but may be a hopeful thought for us non-MAGAots.

The 🐀 and the ☣️🍊🦂 makes a good team.

Carnegie believed that true wealth is in lasting influence. He bought art, libraries, etc. in pursuit of that goal.

Terrible

The richest woman man in the world doesn’t wanna pay over 2700 and some change in child support a month. That my friend says it all.

The one trait Musk shares with Trump is a complete absence of compassion. Two unloved and profoundly damaged psyches running our country.

It was payback for all the misery he caused during his career as a Robber Baron and strike buster.

I’m feeling like this is the effects of a top tax bracket of 90%. But I’m just making that up.

Andrew Carnegie put children in factories & adults in 12 hour days on 7 day weeks for slave wages with no safety conditions & despised unions But we can use him to attack Musk so he's our HeRo even though he shat on ALL of our principles

Spot the difference #Elon #Traitor

While wangling huge contracts out of the same government he is dismantling. It’s perverse!!!

Honestly Carnegie wasn’t a good guy, but he knew his legacy would be shit if he didn’t put back into the community

The world is entering a downswing of history.  I'm not ashamed to shill my dad's book that covers electricity,  ammo, water, food,  health, and sustainability. These topics are covered in ways that other books do not. Especially making, storing and using electricity. www.amazon.com/s?k=teotwawk...

Ah yes we have arrived at no good billionaires. Can we please start treating them as such?

Elon Musk is a greedy Nazi and I’m gonna guess he’s probably a psychopath just like Donald Trump

What happened to philanthropy

What are the chances, Musk's next child will be named Luigi? I think Luigi Musk has a great ring to it.

And that's why he's wealthy he doesn't even pay for all the spare kids he has...and he does seem to have spare kids showing up here and there

A convicted fraudster unelected co-president overloaded on ketamine with 14 children from three women, not all wives. Can't compare to this philanthropist. Leaving it here ...

To be fair, Andrew Carnegie only did that later in life. After exploiting workers for every dime he could squeeze out of the.

He was given the choice of building libraries or go to jail. Elon Musk probably should be told the same. Do public good or go to jail.

LoL

Exactly what I was going to say. Being better than Elon is an extremely low bar

Yep he was trying right his many wrongs.

Hmmm, great point! Like another narcissistic fuck with his name all over shit. Casinos, airlines, universities, high rises, ad nauseam

His objective was to discourage critical thinking and to cultivate loyal consumers and a robust labor force so there’s that

His reason for being such a philanthropist was to lower his tax burden.

Carnegie, Frick, and the Pinkertons. It’s evil capitalism in a nutshell and his libraries are just a thin chocolate shell drizzled on a life of putrified animal waste.

Musk has no empathy. People dying means nothing to him.

If he has a mother, she can’t be proud.

Capitalists have become much more selfish-
