Let me break this down for people like Elizabeth Warren and Graham Platner who just can't seem to understand how @elonmusk could become the world's first trillionaire without a rigged economy.
They're saying a man who risked everything to RESET the space industry, inventing sustainable space travel with reusable rockets that land themselves, who stepped up and SAVED astronauts from space because Boeing and NASA couldn’t do it, doesn’t deserve his wealth?
Or a man who pioneered electric vehicles while the rest of the auto industry said it could never happen, THEN GAVE HIS TECHNOLOGY AWAY FOR FREE, didn't earn that money? I don't see Pfizer doing that.
Or a man who saved free speech and gave a voice to the voiceless across the world by buying Twitter and creating X? And who provided people in remote areas, totalitarian states, and warzones with access to the outside world through Starlink? That man should be punished with a wealth tax?
Give me a break.
SpaceX hit $3 trillion market cap today.
This means Elon Musk made more money in the last 24 hours than Warren Buffett made in his entire lifetime.
Insane.
We hear it as consumption. But it's almost all for allocation. This is a huge issue we need to get past.
Name anyone you would rather see allocate 1T+.
Well done.
Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.
They did not accept.
Taking home the SEAHAWKS SUPER BOWL RING! Seeing this in person was so surreal. I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember and watching the entire @Seahawks team work their asses off this season to earn this was incredible. Their dedication paid off and we’re Super Bowl champs, baby!! Shout out to @JasonofBH you killed this one. Feeling incredibly proud to be a 12!!!!!
Ro, you’re lying and you know it.
You compared a man’s net worth to a country’s GDP. A balance sheet to a year of output. You went to Yale. You learned the difference between a stock and annual output flow.
But being a politician and lawyer, you love to lie and gaslight the economic illiterates, it’s your entire business model.
You want a 5% tax on Elon to fund free trade school for every American.
Trade school costs $80B/yr, you can’t even fund a year.
Elon doesn’t have $55B in cash. It’s stock. You know this.
To pay, he sells roughly $70B of Tesla and SpaceX shares, and the sale itself gets taxed on top. SpaceX raised $75B at its IPO this morning at a $1.77 trillion valuation.
Imagine him selling that amount every year.
Ro isn’t taxing Elon. He’s taxing everyone who gas exposure to the market. Every pension fund and index fund on the planet gets wrecked. And given Ro, he’ll insider trade and short before the bill passes.
And for what? To rip capital from the best allocator alive and hand it to the most incompetent institution in human history. Elon turned PayPal gains into Tesla and SpaceX: 120,000 jobs, launch costs down 90%, two industries that didn’t exist, a $1.77 trillion company from nothing.
You’ve never built anything. You’ve never employed anyone. You’ve never created a dollar of value in your life. You collect a government salary and demand tribute from men who do what you can’t.
Your machine spends $7 trillion a year and still runs a $1.8 trillion deficit. It loses up to $521 billion a year to fraud. More than your entire tax raises. The Department of Education went from $34 billion in 2000 to $268 billion in 2024. 8x the money. Reading scores at multi-decade lows. Trade schools still unfunded.
You don’t lack money. You lack competence, and you want Elon to subsidize it.
You haven’t donated your wealth. You haven’t moved into government housing. Empty your accounts first, Ro. Then preach.
Elon’s options get taxed as ordinary income at the top rate when exercised. Over $500 billion in lifetime taxes, the largest tax stream from one human ever. You want $55 billion now in a way that craters the shares the $500 billion depends on. Your tax doesn’t raise money. It kills the companies, kills the jobs, kills the pensions, and torches a bigger check already in the mail.
You’re the monkey in the middle, Ro. You can’t build. You can’t allocate. You can’t even count. So you eat from everyone else’s pie and call it fairness.
Can an Elon hater explain, with logic, WHY they are angry with Elon becoming a Trillionaire, when:
- to do so, he has employed hundreds of thousands and created supply chains that employed hundreds of thousands more
- he has created multiple $TRILLIONS of wealth for others
- His innovations are transforming lives, from cars that enable mobility for thousands to neurolink that promises to cure the incurable neurological conditions.
- he saved free speech worldwide by buying X
- his companies are working to create abundance throughout the economy in a way that taking his money and giving it to the government could NEVER do.
@SenWarren Lmao does the average American household risk their entire fortune/savings and go all in on two companies that both had terrible odds to succeed? Nope. You want to make everyone passive and do the bare minimum have the government turn everyone into zombies waiting to collect
Launching a video now with former Brazilian defense minister and current Presidential candidate, Aldo Rebelo. He openly says The Varginha UFO crash of 1996 happened and it involved a craft with beings, an admission akin to an American Defense Secretary saying Roswell happened
