    Why would he need to be given anything? Charge him a million for a happy meal. He’s a trillionaire, surely he can afford a measly island or two.

      Noo, you don’t get the game.

      He won it, so he doesn’t have to pay anything!

      How DARE you be so rude to ask him to pay full price for a hotdog in your hotdog van?

      He’s Elon Musk, the lord and savior! That’s such an insult!

      Same logic applies to islands.

      How dare you THINK to charge someone with boatloads of money for anything?

      Oh, and don’t even try thinkibg of homeless people who could use some food abd shelter. Because Elon needs his yachts.

    Can someone explain to me why anyone should give a fuck what Gina says? Why has she been getting so much press recently?

    Last week, the One Nation leader said she considers Rinehart an unofficial policy adviser to her and her party.

    “I consider her a friend and I’m very … grateful for her support. She’s an Australian identity, she’s one of the highest taxpayers in the country.”

    I’m willing to bet that she considers you a useful pet, Pauline.

      Money. It’s plenty to get the media attention. But last thing anyone normal wants is for her to have any influence at all

      It’s so hard to wrap your head around what $1 Million would be to this guy.

      Let’s say the median net-worth of an individual Australian is $400k (scarily, this is pretty close to the truth).
      A Happy meal is around $8.

      So, a Happy Meal is around 0.00002% of an average Aussie net-worth.
      Extrapolating that 0.00002% to someone with a Trillion-dollar net-worth makes the Happy-Meal cost $20 Million.

    Theres so much rich-baby fat in her face alone that any projectiles would just bounce off anyway.

    At least it would be slightly amusing in humiliation.
