Elon Musk has been labeled as a ‘monster’ following a controversial post the billionaire wrote about what money apparently can’t buy.
The richest man in the world has been slated after he took to his own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to complain about the one thing he claims not to be able to purchase.
The post is now doing the rounds online, with many people sharing their own thoughts on the matter.
In the post, Musk wrote: “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about.” The tweet was followed by a sad face emoji.

Reacting to the statement on Reddit, one user wrote: “Money can buy rockets, platforms, and PR teams it still can’t buy a delete button for screenshots and public memory. Some receipts just accrue interest forever.”
Another said: “No sympathy. How many lives have you ruined? How many crimes have you committed? How many unethical and immoral things have you done? You should feel bad.”
A third person commented: “But money CAN buy health. So let's tax Elon and his buddies so that all of us can have healthcare.”
And a fourth added: “I dunno, if I had half the amount of money he does, I'd be pretty happy. And by that I mean I wouldn't use it to be an evil piece of s*** like him.”
Meanwhile on X, one user wrote: “B****, please. If I had one tenth of your money I’d spend every day all day helping people and I’d be the happiest person on earth. You’re miserable because you’re a monster. Cope.”
In other Musk news, a clip of the mogul from his appearance at the All in Summit back in 2024 has resurfaced where he detailed a shocking pitch he had for Saturday Night Life.
He said: “One of the things that I think everyone has been sort of wondering this whole time is, is Saturday Night Live actually live? Like live, live, live - or do they have a delay or just in case there’s a wardrobe malfunction or something like that. Is there like a five second delay? What’s really going on here?
“We came up with a way [to test it], which is we don’t tell them what’s going on. I walk on and I go, ‘this is the script’, and throw it on the ground, ‘we’re going to find out tonight, right now, if Saturday Night Live is actually live.
“The way that we’re going to do this is I’m going to take my c*** out. And if you see my c***, you know it’s true.”
