Grimes says Elon Musk 'lives at times below the poverty line' and would not buy a new mattress despite her side having a hole in it

Grimes is a somewhat successful artist in her own right - she could probably afford to buy her own mattress if the issue is that important to her.

He actually does live in one of his $50,000 fold out houses that he builds and sells.

…and reusability. He doesn’t believe in discarding if it can be helped (booster rockets)

[crusty old prospector]

Like bro, can I get some memory foam or something?

[plain talk]

I have no idea if this is true but I do know that frugal people can become wealthy people.

[glorgau]

A lot of just don’t care much about that sort of thing.

[Paal Gulli]

He probably has several crates full of urine-filled milk bottles stored in his bedroom.

I like this guy’s approach to frugality.

But his taste in women is highly suspect.

[waterhill]

Yeah he does....apparently

I believe it!

I read his biography and that’s exactly how he comes across.

He’s one of a kind. The richest man in the world and very frugal.

A lot like Buffett in that way.

And you believed the accusations?

Comedian Bill Burr says the issue isn’t so much that rich dudes are freaks - they are - but that normal guys are simply not tempted by armies of women throwing themselves at you. Our regular jobs - butcher, baker, plumber, office worker - keeps us in check.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

High fives for Elon Musk. If the woman had a better mattress, she should have brought it over.

Frugality is a virtue alien to too many.

[Trillian]

So you repair the hole and move on. What did he see in this bro woman?

[StolarStorm]

It’s not complicated. He simply didn’t want to waste minutes of his life dealing with it. She could easily have handled the mattress herself. He’s busy and focused.

[Gaffer]

"Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line," Grimes said, per Vanity Fair. "To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there's no security, and I'm eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?"

I think I see the problem here.

[Gaffer]

Yep....there’s some real class there in that girl.

[Trillian]

[waterhill]

I kinda like Burr, though he does make me cringe sometimes.
He is smart enough to clean the act up and keep it funny.

[DoodleBob]

His podcasts during the pandemic had enough pro-mask etc crapola that I may never see him again. But he is usually spot on.
