@Mark_W11 @TheBeaverton Did he ever get any jobs with that degree? Or just work solely as a politician? What is your definition of “political elite”?

@E_M_Rosina @TheBeaverton Who in “the left” said “good, they make too much”????

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@TheBeaverton My favourite part of videos like this is seeing all the backbenchers applauding sooo vociferously over even the most petulant or basic comments from their leaders 😂 I’d love to see an exposé on what it’s like to be that backbencher, and have to make sure to applaud/jeer properly

@elonmusk I think you should consider finding a decent PR person, and actually listen to them, rather than just finding new “edgy” ways to anger people. You should also probably have them review your public announcements before you post.

@stephen_taylor Why do pointless accounts like this keep getting pushed into my feed? An election isn’t happening until 2025 unless the NDP or Liberals want it to happen. If Conservatives can start earning trust, and find a leader that is more likeable, they might have a chance in a few years.

@elonmusk Does this mean we can finally hear both sides of the ancient aliens and flat Earth debates? YAAAY

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk I like how the figure on the left has a Twitter logo still 😂

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@neiltyson So, in this case, is magic the simplest answer? 🤔

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk You are so close to self awareness… just… focus… keep working through that thought…

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@randyhillier @elonmusk Just wait, once Elon needs 9-1-1 but can’t use it because of people like you, he’ll decide that such behaviour isn’t acceptable and not part of free speech, and ban you again 😂

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@randyhillier @elonmusk Aren’t you the person who encouraged people to flood 9-1-1 with fake calls?

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk At least when you directly experience harm, you seem to understand why some limits are in place. There is a reason that things like libel, slander, uttering threats, &c are not included in “free speech”.

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk We’re in an age where “reasoned debate” is intolerant people posting hateful things, and each person trying to disagree simply drives up engagement, giving the initial post more traction. Awesome 🤦‍♂️

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk I’m getting those Ted Cruz vibes 😂 I can’t wait to figure out how to compensate for *my* insecurities!

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@AngelaM39696246 @MikeSchreiner But the fact is, houses are sold at market rate. So a house built without paying for its infrastructure is going to be just as expensive as houses built last year, but the profits will be higher for developers, while taxpayers pay for it.

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@AngelaM39696246 @MikeSchreiner One way or another, it needs to be built, so it’s been included in construction costs. Another factor is that a big wide home with a triple wide driveway needs more length of drainage pipe, road surface, etc. anyways, THIS is how taxes will go up, per your first question.

@elonmusk Did you know PayPal charges a “secret” $20 fee per month if you aren’t actively using the account??

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@elonmusk Can’t people choose where they advertise? Why doesn’t Tesla advertise on a billboard inside my house? Do you hate my tasteful decorating??

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@AngelaM39696246 @MikeSchreiner They’ll definitely add to the tax income, which is good… but those taxes are just covering maintenance typically, so those new houses aren’t really paying for their new sewers, streets or whatever else the PCs shifted to cities - everyone else is.

[James Ball @JamesLewisBall]

@AngelaM39696246 @MikeSchreiner New developments used to have to pay for their infrastructure; it would be wrapped into the sale price. Now cities are paying, so taxes will go up to cover new infrastructure. This especially benefits new suburbs.
