The rich seem TOO rich.
"$5 to you is like $6M to billionaire Jeff Bezos,” shrieks Sen Warren!
That’s why “TAX THE RICH” is popular.
But don’t politicians realize it’s been tried before?
It always FAILS. Here’s why:
.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
🚨 OMG. SEC. SCOTT BESSENT JUST WENT THERE 🔥
SEN WYDEN (D): We don't want ramblings about the most corrupt regime in history, we want facts
BESSENT: "And we'd like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey EPSTEIN talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret. So, did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?"
ASSASSIN.
With so much 💰 being spent on positions and potential stats. So much being spent on scoring and star power. Don’t forget to have enough money for the ball movers. The move w/o the ball players. The glue guys. The leaders.
This guy at @LouisvilleMBB was one of the best.
Adolf Hitler, an avid painter, crossed into Poland Friday for what could've been a normal day enjoying the country during abnormally drizzly weather.
But in less than a week, his life would drastically change as he would have to relocate and handle millions of Jewish refugees before 26 other nations drove him to suicide.
One of the most bizarre scenes at TPC Sawgrass. 😳
Ian Poulter accidentally swiped his ball into the water.
His physical therapist took a swim to find the ball, avoiding a two-stroke penalty, and Poulter drained the putt for par. 😂
Went to the car dealership Saturday
Wife wants a new SUV
Salesman walked over and said "what are we looking for today?"
I said "what's your margin on the Tahoe?"
He laughed
I said "I'm not joking. What's the invoice price versus the sticker and what holdback does the dealer get from GM?"
He stopped laughing
My wife said "we're just browsing"
We were not just browsing
I brought a spreadsheet
Printed
Color coded
Blue for inputs
Black for calculations
I showed him the comparable transaction analysis I ran on every Tahoe sold within 50 miles in the last 90 days
He said "sir this is a car dealership"
I said "and these are the comps"
He went to get his manager
The manager came out
Looked at my spreadsheet
Looked at me
Said "where do you work?"
I said "private equity"
He said "that explains it"
My wife was already in the lobby pretending she didn't know me
We got the Tahoe
$4,200 below sticker
She didn't thank me
But the savings speak for themselves
You are welcome

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.
