Maybe If you cut back on morning coffee and avocado toasts, you wouldn’t need a $20 million loan.

Hang on, I’ll ask my bank to give me a small loan of $20 million. I’m sure they will not laugh in my face and tell me to go fuck myself.

The way economy is heading, this might be an accurate statement.

Have you tried asking mom and dad?

Nah, they’ll laugh at first, but then you’ll get taken upstairs and Jamie will open a bottle of your favorite Tequila, telling you that he thinks you need an even bigger credit line than you applied for.
Wait, you don’t run a wildly unprofitable company “worth” several billion dollars? Welp, sounds like a you problem.

Not a me problem. I blame my parents for trying to be good humans and teaching values instead of just enslaving people in apartheid-ridden emerald mines.

Tbh this particular joke was a reference to the WeWork fiasco and specifically the show WeCrashed, where the founder goes into JPMorgan Chase and asks for a 50 million line of credit after being pre-approved for 20k, then asks the clerk to google him and then gets brought to the bank’s CEO instead.
Of course, Adam Neumann was also a huge fraud, comparable to Musk in that both have been known to promise the world and deliver shit.

Power of hard work and sacrifice right there, a true testament to the spirit of capitalism. If you can, all can.
