Elon Musk is not stealing from you.
Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.
Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.
The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they’re taking the money from, are evil.
@SenWarren Yeah…just think of all the owners of Somali Day Care centers we could make rich!
How about you focus on fixing the 38 trillion dollar debt, instead of fantasizing about stealing more money from productive people.
Here is context for people who actually care about that sort of thing…
It was not Elon Musk personally taking a loan. It was Tesla Motors, the company, that received a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy in early 2010.
The loan came from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, created by Congress in 2007 under President George W. Bush. The goal was to support American companies building more fuel-efficient vehicles and create jobs.
Tesla was not the only recipient. The same program gave much larger loans to other companies, including Ford for $5.9 billion and Nissan for about $1.4 to $1.6 billion. Fisker Automotive also received $529 million but later went bankrupt.
In May 2013, Tesla repaid the full $465 million plus interest and prepayment penalties — nine years ahead of schedule.
They used money from a successful stock offering. Taxpayers actually made a profit of roughly $12 to $26 million on the loan.
Elon Musk publicly thanked the Department of Energy and American taxpayers at the time.
Tesla used a program Democrats supported...they just used it far more successfully than other companies
BTW, I don't support these kinds of government programs, but for the leftists that only hate them when it suits their political objectives… you're all shameless hypocrites that are only pissed. Because Elin doesn't carry water for the left the way Soros and Steyr do.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
@EdMarkey This is the same lie you guys always tell…but the money you steal is never enough.
Elon has done more to lift people out of poverty than hacks like you ever will.
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
The left is not furious over @elonmusk’s wealth.
They are furious that he is able to accomplish so much with money voluntarily given, while leftist politicians take it by force and make things worse.
Elon is hated because he is evidence of their incompetence and corruption.
TREASON 🚨
Trumps first year in office has seen the lowest amount of bills passed in modern American history
Trump- (38)
Biden- (122)
Obama- (125)
Bush - (109)
(77.3M) Americans voted for Trump, not John Thune... he cannot continue on as Majority leader
Remove John Thune
Please, PLEASE, President Trump: go after John Thune with the same viciousness you just went after Thomas Massie with
FORCE him to pass the SAVE America Act.
Sincerely,
We The People.
It’s now been 110 days since the SAVE America Act was introduced and it still has not passed the senate
There is literally nothing more important than
- Mandatory Voter ID
- Proof of Citizenship
- Ban mail in ballots
110 days and STILL the Republican majority hasn’t passed it
Just a psa: No Americans are losing their right to vote. Democrats are losing their ability to cheat.
And thats why they are mad.
Pass the Save America Act!
76% of black voters want voter ID
Along with 82% of Latinos and 85% of whites.
Democrats hyperventilate about "preserving democracy" while they block the single most obvious thing that preserves democracy.
Ilhan Omar is still a citizen of Somalia, and she has never given up her citizenship.
Unbelievable.
My new bill would make people like @IlhanMN give up their dual citizenship if they want to serve in Congress.
You’re either American or Somali.
It’s just that simple.
We don’t want foreigners serving in Congress any longer. PERIOD.
The Department of Education began in 1979.
In 1978, America was ranked #1 in education.
Today, America is ranked 28th in Education.
The Department of Education is a FAILED experiment.
SHUT IT DOWN.
Larry Ellison acaba de hacer la única pregunta que ningún periodista en la Tierra puede responder.
Un periodista del Wall Street Journal le dijo a la cara a Larry Ellison que Elon Musk no sabe lo que hace.
Ellison no discutió. No se alteró. Solo hizo una pregunta.
Ellison:
“Este tipo aterriza cohetes sobre plataformas robóticas en medio del océano… ¿y tú dices que no sabe lo que hace? ¿Alguna vez has aterrizado un cohete?”
Una sola pregunta. Sin posibilidad de recuperación.
Ellison:
“¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué debería creerte a ti antes que a mi amigo Elon?”
Esta es la pregunta que toda la clase mediática lleva una década esquivando:
¿Quién eres tú para juzgar?
¿Qué has construido?
¿Qué has lanzado?
¿Qué problema has resuelto que no implique un teclado y una fecha límite?
Ellison:
“Ahí estás tú, delante de tu Apple Macintosh, escribiendo un artículo diciendo que Elon es un idiota.”
Se sientan detrás de un portátil que no diseñaron.
Usan una red que no construyeron.
Funcionando sobre chips de silicio que ni siquiera pueden explicar.
Para decirle al mundo que el hombre que envía humanos al espacio no sabe lo que hace.
Nunca han construido nada más pesado que un documento de Word.
Y aun así lo publican con absoluta certeza.
Eso es lo que debería inquietarte.
No la crítica.
Sino la confianza con la que la hacen.
La ausencia total de autoconciencia necesaria para juzgar disciplinas en las que no durarían ni un semestre.
Musk no opera en opiniones.
Opera en la capa física del universo, donde las matemáticas funcionan… o el cohete no regresa.
Sus críticos operan en un editor de texto.
Construyó el vehículo que transporta astronautas de la NASA a la Estación Espacial Internacional.
La constelación de satélites que lleva internet a zonas de guerra activas.
El coche eléctrico que obligó a todos los fabricantes del planeta a abandonar sus planes basados en motores de combustión.
Sus críticos más ruidosos construyeron una firma al final de un artículo.
Entonces… ¿por qué tanto odio coordinado?
Porque perdieron la correa.
Los ataques no aumentaron porque Musk empeorara como ingeniero.
Aumentaron porque compró X.
Abrió el algoritmo.
Le devolvió la plaza pública a la gente.
Y destruyó su capacidad de controlar lo que puedes pensar.
No odian al ingeniero.
Odian que el ingeniero les quitó el monopolio.
No puedes cancelar un cohete.
No puedes publicar un artículo contra la gravedad.
No puedes editar las leyes de la física.
Ellos controlan la narrativa.
Él controla la física.
Y uno de los dos va camino a Marte.
Bill Maher on liberals and Islam:
“It’s so funny, everything Israel does is the worst thing anybody ever did in the history of the world. And yet when it comes to Islam, it’s like they can kind of do no wrong.”
“I mean, how else do you get kids who are supposed to be super liberal chanting for Hamas? A terrorist organization and a mafia… who treat their own people as human shields… and yet they’re on their side, or even Iran now.”
“There were protests at Columbia. One of them, the guy said something like, ‘We cheer for every American casket that comes home from this.’”
“They’re literally sometimes chanting, ‘Death to America’ in America. It is crazy what that far, far left is up to.”
If we can't be taxed on unrealized gains, why the fuck are we being taxed on the new increased valuation of our home without selling it?
THAT'S UNREALIZED GAINS!
No Trump judges, no voter ID SAVE Act, 50 bills already passed by the house in limbo.
Pardon my language, but this guy is a worthless piece of shit. He’s worse than a grifter Democrat. Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel. Treacherous rat.
