@ZachWLambert@elonmusk The 1 trillion people say Elon is worth only exists if people decide to give Elon 1 trillion in exchange for his company. But that has not happened.
@BurrowBeliever The numbers are all fake. If he sold all his stock in SpaceX and Tesla it would not be worth 1 trillion. It is only worth that much because he doesn’t sell it.
If @realDonaldTrump wants to help @SpiritAirlines he can do it. It’s in his hands. Everyday Americans will hurt - beyond the nearly 20k employees who will lose their livelihoods - it will cost consumers $1B annually. If you’re in charge @POTUS then make it happen now.
Spirit Airlines shutting down is a disaster for the American consumer. Say what you want about their policies, but they unquestionably kept industry prices lower.
Americans will pay more money in the long run.
Everything should be done to save (and then fix) Spirit.
@johnpalmer Imagine you can only watch the person ahead of you vote but can’t communicate:
1. Non-rational person votes blue (choosing to risk death for no benefit)
2. Rational person votes blue to save non-rational person.
3. Rational person votes blue to save rational person.
Spirit is everyday working Americans, and so are the passengers we serve. Investing in us is investing in Americans. Join us in calling Congress and the White House and asking them to #SaveOurSpirit.
Call Congress: (202) 816-5673
Call the White House: (202) 793-8329
Now can you ask: “Everyone on Earth takes a private vote on whether to stand under a crusher or not. If fewer than 50% of people choose to stand under the crusher, those who choose to stand under the crusher will be crushed and die. Would you choose to stand under the crusher? BE HONEST.”
@scottlincicome The past administration wanted low-cost airlines and blocked Spirit from being acquired by JetBlue. It was the first airline merger trial in history. Low-cost airlines can’t afford fuel prices doubling in a month. Should we encourage mergers with higher-margin airlines?
