More about Musk’s sheer patheticness and lack of actual accomplishments, but otherwise I don’t disagree. Crassus was not a good man, even by the judgement of his contemporary aristocrats. You may be interested to learn that he died (according to legend, at least) by having molten gold poured down his throat as repudiation of his infamous greed
I mean, that’s cool and all, but the meme you posted implies Crassus is the Chad to Elon’s virgin. The implication there being some should aspire to be like Crassus if they are super wealthy. My point here is that humans are generally fucking stupid and impressionable, and most of them just see the surface level image and move on. Memes like this could easily contribute to a developing mind deciding that the Roman oligarchy was super cool and based, introducing them to a gradual slide into fascism… You know, considering how Rome invented the word. I guess what I’m saying is posting something like this just feels irresponsible.
By this logic you’re okay with someone posting gore under the pretense of it being a joke. I get that what I’m talking about isn’t the world’s biggest problem, but it shouldn’t be ignored either.

Mm. I’ll consider deleting it here, leaving it just up on RoughRomanMemes, where some knowledge of Crassus’s shittiness can be expected.
It’s also a joke, so, like, maybe don’t over think it? 🤷🏻♂️
