Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.
Tax. The. Rich.
Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
I am not entitled to his money.
Accumulating more wealth than you can ever spend in a single lifetime (which he has done millions of times over) is bad for society. Money that could be moving through the economy and local communities to help improve lives is now removed.
Israel just kidnapped a 20yr old Palestinian student, taking her hostage. She won’t be called a hostage & she won’t be reported on in the US bc she’s Palestinian.
Had Palestinian forces took an Israeli civilian hostage — would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.
Look what I found: After USAID's Food for Peace program was moved to the USDA last year, Food for Peace seems to have stripped food aid from all Muslim-majority countries.
To this amazing chart from @CFR_org, I added a column showing the % of the population that is Muslim:
It’s happened again:
A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.
ICE decides not to deport.
ICE drops migrant off far from home.
Migrant dies in the cold.
Manner of death: Homicide.
Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.
It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."
Just off the top of my head it makes it more likely that cancer will kill me or a loved one because his wealth led directly to cancer research being cut
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
This is insane:
• UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters
• Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute
• UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges
• Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court
• Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students
When the fbi — who has still arrested *0* people on Epstein’s client list - dispatches >100 agents to do a fishing expedition against an org bc they don’t like that org’s politics, that should be a 5 alarm fire for every Ohioan that believes in limiting govt & free elections.
The USAID cuts are one of the worst things America has ever done in its history
It could have even been a slow phase out to let non profits take its place. But instead, it was purposely chaotic. They purposely made the state of it ambiguous before suddenly pulling all funding
What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.
