Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.
Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”
Think about what property tax actually means.
You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.
Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.
You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.
Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.
The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.
That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.
Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.
Now stack all three.
Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.
At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.
Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.
Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.
The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.
And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.
SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.
The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.
The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.
As a general rule, anytime Barack Obama lectures the country or its people on their purported sins—with Khalil Gibran pop platitudes—he is seeking absolution for his own obsessions by projecting his own guilty desires onto others.
The latest? At the dedication of his narcissistic Obama Presidential Center in Chicago—a $850 million flak-tower, monolithic boondoggle mired in debt—Obama lectured us on the need to resist the allure off "money, attention, [and] fame."
Thus spoke the owner of four homes, three of them multimillion-dollar mansions, whose last inert year in office was spent closing book and Netflix deals that ensured he would become a multimillionaire the moment he left office, and on spec, jets private to sermonize to various audiences–often at $400,000 a shot—on their own false-consciousness shortcomings.
Plain-speaking, frugal Harry Truman in obscure retirement in Independence, Missouri Obama certainly is not.
🚨 AWESOME! A literal BALD EAGLE just kicked off tonight's Freedom 250 UFC weigh-in on the National Mall DIRECTLY in front of the White House
"USA! USA! USA!" 🇺🇸🇺🇸
How can ANY patriot hate this?!
What a HISTORIC event!
If you took $1 Trillion from Elon (assuming it was cash), it would run the U.S. government for 49 days. Not even 2 months.
The U.S. doesn't have a billionaire/trillionaire problem, it has a spending problem.
🚨 WOW! Spencer Pratt just dropped this after they stole the LA mayoral election from him — he’s about to drop BOMBSHELLS he was saving for the general election!
“We have some recordings of one of your insulting candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.” 🤯
“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.”
“You think you can get rid of me that easily?”
“Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”
🔥🔥🔥
“I'm going to be lighting you up every single day and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers.”
“I don't have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It's WAR. It's zero hour for Los Angeles!”
“I'm not a Nazi by any means, but honestly, I cannot understand how anyone could look at the history of the white races and then proceed to fuck with them in any way.
For roughly 2000 years the Europeans did nothing but fight each other tooth and nail
I mean for fucks sake, the last time white people got angry, really genuinely angry… they split the atom, opening up an entire new era of science and incinerating 100,000 people before they had breakfast and ruining the genetic lineage of the survivors for decades to come. Then they did it again a few days later for no reason.
Seriously
Do not fuck with white people”
BREAKING: President Trump just called on EVERY Republican in Congress to immediately advance a $350 Billion Reconciliation that includes the Save America ACT
THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP
I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS
as I watched Graham Platner's speech on the news last night (muted) I can't help but notice that all of the people behind in support really look fucking crazy!! WOW!! WHAT IS IN THEIR WATER?!?!
