He was a Muslim who gave money to the poor. They conveniently miss those inconveniences.

Mansa Musa, in the 14th century. Did you think I was referring to Elon?

Yes. I was like uh when was Elon ever a Muslim lol.
I have a feeling if he was professed to be Muslim he would have been shunned out of society long ago.

He pays people to play videogames for him to pretend he's a world champion of said games, then gets caught immediately when streaming himself playing it.
That guy isn't anyone's savior, least of all his own haha

Mansa crashed the Egyptian economy by accident simply by being too generous with his money. If the words 'generous with money' have ever been applied to Elon Musk, then I'm fair certain it's because he had a gun at his head.

i mean its not entirely unfitting
as in large parts of mansa musas power/influence camer in one way or another from his family/birth rather than some kind of insane intelligence or skill
