Someone didn't think out the implications.

You fool! Now she has 1.5 billion, and can buy him for 100 million. This was her plan all along!
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
This ignores legal realities about property and transferring wealth. When she buys him for 400mil, she will briefly place the money in escrow, reducing them to 700 and 400mil. Then, when he becomes her property, Taylor also gains his assets, reaching 1.5 billion when the escrow is released.

I mean, you’re assuming she’s buying him from him, historically speaking there was some violence and a third party involved.
USAONE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They did the math

Yep, so, when are we eating the rich?

I keep inviting people to join my radical and poorly regulated militia but I’ve only had one taker so far, and he never came to the meetings.

Is Kanye abusive? The only thing I know about him is that he’s married to one of the kardashians. And that his kids have weird names.

Honestly, with the modern political climate, maybe somebody did think out the implications.

That sounds like a choice.

These tone deaf white girls, man.

He’s the one that said slavery was a choice.
mriormro@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And house slaves thought they and their families would have a better life by supporting the power structure that enslaved them to begin with. That doesn’t belie just how fucked up it is that some shitty Taylor Swift fan account is insinuating that a white billionaire could literally purchase a black man.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Why does Taylor get an exception for being a billionaire? That’s a whole lot of hoarding.
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Most of that money comes from sales of her art, not from the exploitation of surplus labor, so it’s marginally better from a moral standpoint. Though she would still pay more taxes if it was up to me.
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 months ago
You will find that there are many, many people involved in the music industry not being paid fair wages.
There are theoretical means to accumulate billions as an artist purely from the distribution of your own work but she certainly isn’t using them.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 10 months ago
A majority of her art up until recently was not created by her, but rather many professional songwriters. So even the whole, “not from the exploitation of surplus labor” doesn’t hold water. She’s just like the rest. Hoarding that wealth, when it could be used for the betterment of many lives, is criminal, in my opinion.

Oh no, Kayne has always been for sale to the highest bidder.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I want to believe that that’s the actual reason, but knowing Musk, you can never be sure… Image

If this is not on X, what is this on then?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s on it but won’t be visible to everyone before more people rate it. Or never if Musk doesn’t want it to, probably 🤷
Epicmulch@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Even after kanyes recent craziness i highly doubt hes only worth 400 mil.

His valuation as a billionaire was rather notably tied to his sneaker deal with Adidas.
Of course, as Adidas is at its heart still a Nazi organization, the shoes went on sale this August and it’s unclear how much he’s making from them.
sagrotan@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Imagine you bought him. What to do? Put him in the garden with a red pointed cap? Use him as coat rack? Who’s got a better idea??
BilboBargains@lemmy.world 10 months ago

Slavery may have been abolished, but as politics proves, you can buy anyone in the United States.
Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Also, slavery wasn’t abolished

Do you think Bloomberg could’ve won last time if he spent all his money?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I doubt it. People didn’t like him much.
