He pushed DOGE cuts that slashed NIH funding, fired researchers, and canceled grants for cancer research & other biomedical work.
Meanwhile his effective tax rate has been far lower than what Americans making $180k pay on their income. And those 4000 people bet on themselves and made them what they are. Not Elon.
Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

You cannot afford healthcare.
You cannot afford childcare.
You cannot afford rent.
You cannot afford groceries.
You cannot afford gas.
And your taxes paid for SpaceX making Elon Musk a trillionaire.
But sure. Blame it on the single mom who gets $6.20 a day in Food Stamps.
The cult doesn’t care. The cult wants to be poor and stupid. And republicans know this so will always fight it because if they have stupid voters they get power and money.
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
@TVietor08@elonmusk Tonight he goes home to no one and just hopes he can hop on the platform he bought for himself where his cult friends say nice things about him on Twitter.
This the basic difference.
Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous.
Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.
@elonmusk big day. But you’re still a depressed sad little man who is not loved by his family. It’s not too late to repent though. Don’t be a shit human and maybe use the money for good and maybe love will come your way.
@Z_fubar_Z@jonfavs Actually just to be clear I could give two fucks how much money he makes. I care that a) he’s a piece of shit human and b) uses little of that money to make society better. He actually purchased this very app to help further spread lies and misinformation.
Lmao those over priced electric cars less than one percent of people own, a space company that’s accomplished nothing of consequence, a failing social media platform, and a legacy of failing at a temp government job and lying all the time. The bar republicans have for sucess has no bottom. At one point I thought it was don’t sexually abuse and traffic children but they like covering that up too …
@marfaye_marita@jonfavs Not being a giant lying POS helping contribute to the downfall of democracy so I can stay rich. High bar I know. I hope to find a way.
@GH_Hat_Trick@jonfavs He pays less in taxes than someone making 180k a year and we have a million homeless Americans. Whose life is he making better? What is he doing for the average joe? 100k cyber trucks? Expensive overpriced crap satellite internet? We should be so grateful I tell yah.
Nah bro, that’s the difference between me & him, & likely you. I don’t need to be in the spotlight, sell overpriced/ugly electric cars, & buy a platform to spread conspiracy theories & feel important to compensate for my daughter/family not loving me and needing to take drugs just to get through the day.
