Slavery may have been abolished, but as politics proves, you can buy anyone in the United States.
Also, slavery wasn’t abolished
There you go saying prisoners are people again
Disgusting thinking. Can you imagine
Let’s quickly forget that and go back to joking about prison rape.
Ah, the “except” in Amendment XIII.
…until 1942*
Slavery is still legal in the US now, they just need to be convicted of a crime first. Easy enough to find crimes to put people away for, and you can even selectively enforce laws against the people/race you don’t like
Good thing the force behind enforcing laws and charging people as criminals is famously good-natured and held to the highest of accountability standards to prevent any possible corruption!
Oh wait.
That is not slavery, convict leasing was (worse) slavery.
Okay but that still makes Taylor Swift owning Kanye illegal because she is a private person.
I’m sure she could put some of that $700M towards buying a private prison and then bribing the cops, the D.A., and the judge to get him sentenced there.
Hell, for a mentally unwell black man they’ll do it for free.
Horrible site, I know, but…
https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/mcdonalds-kfc-burger-king-wendys-convict-leasing-suit-in-alabama/702375Or is that different because they’re publicly traded companies?
Wait, so if Kanye gets convinced of a crime, T-swift could buy the private prison where he’s serving his sentence and then effectively own Kanye? Is a billion dollars enough to buy a prison? They can’t be that expensive, right?
She could totally own him in Fortnite
At least theoretically.
IDK about you, but I can picture Kanye playing that from time to time and low key kicking ass far more than I can picture her doing it.
Do you think Bloomberg could’ve won last time if he spent all his money?
With a net worth of $55.9 billion, 2020 candidate Michael Bloomberg is more than 17 times richer than Trump
I doubt it. People didn’t like him much.
People don’t like Rick Scott but he spent enough of his money to get elected. And Bloomberg is 50 fold wealthier. And Bloomberg seems much more personable. So I don’t know.

You fool! Now she has 1.4 billion, and can buy him for 100 million. This was her plan all along!
This ignores legal realities about property and transferring wealth. When she buys him for 400mil, she will briefly place the money in escrow, reducing them to 700 and 400mil. Then, when he becomes her property, Taylor also gains his assets, reaching 1.5 billion when the escrow is released.

but after first purchase her assets go up to 1.5bil and his assets go to .8bil
Nope, his assets go to $0, as they belong to her now. What you propose is the economical equivalent of a perpetual motion machine

What Taylor wants, Taylor gets.
Why would she want abusive man?
Thank of how many times that song would go platinum.
“I can change him!”
Is Kanye abusive? The only thing I know about him is that he’s married to one of the kardashians. And that his kids have weird names.
Didn’t heard any story from his ex-spouse but man’s a classic example of narcissist, allegedly have toxic working environment in Yeezy, and also spewing hate speech left and right. Maybe not to the point of Chris Brown but doing it mentally also count as abusive.
I mean…
They are divorced, and there was a dispute over several months (or years) to resolve the divorce with several rumors about cheating and other controversies. Not saying that it indicates an physically abusive relationship, but the relationship wasn’t great either.
They divorced and he already remarried (kinda)
Haha well that shows how behind the times I am
Honestly, with the modern political climate, maybe somebody did think out the implications.
That sounds like a choice.
These tone deaf white girls, man.
He’s the one that said slavery was a choice.
And house slaves thought they and their families would have a better life by supporting the power structure that enslaved them to begin with. That doesn’t belie just how fucked up it is that some shitty Taylor Swift fan account is insinuating that a white billionaire could literally purchase a black man.

I want to believe that that’s the actual reason, but knowing Musk, you can never be sure…
If this is not on X, what is this on then?
Even after kanyes recent craziness i highly doubt hes only worth 400 mil.
His valuation as a billionaire was rather notably tied to his sneaker deal with Adidas.
Of course, as Adidas is at its heart still a Nazi organization, the shoes went on sale this August and it’s unclear how much he’s making from them.
Imagine you bought him. What to do? Put him in the garden with a red pointed cap? Use him as coat rack? Who’s got a better idea??
Yo, thas rayciss!
