.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
You are smarter than this Ro. Imagine if Bernie had taxed @elonmusk 100% on his PayPal capital gains. We would have no @Tesla or @SpaceX - none of those jobs or GDP. Who do you think allocated the capital better for society? He will already pay $100 B + in taxes - more than any human ever. I hope he donates some to kids via @TrumpAccounts to make every kid a shareholder in 🇺🇸 & continues investing all his heart, soul & money for the benefit of America & all humanity! 🇺🇸🚀🤍
No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.
This post has 3.5MM views (and counting) and is totally bogus.
The author doesn’t know how to read a test result.
His cited results (in app behind paywall) show premier protein UNDER the prop 65 limit for lead. All of them in fact meet the safety standard.
He doesn’t know the difference between ppb in a powder, which is the amount of lead in a KILOGRAM of material, vs dose per serving - which is what all safety levels are set at.
There’s also blatant typos in carrying over the test result (has mixed up premier and ritual readings, from the wrong part of the test).
You’re fine eating your protein shakes.
Watch what you fall for on the internet. This stuff is driving up anxiety for no reason.
@RobertMSterling This just happened to me on an @AmericanAir flight from LAX to MIA. The pilot walked the entire plane and answered questions + made sure everyone understood his decision. They found a plane 30 minutes later and took off ~1hr late.
@Bencera I did part of this...
South FL for teens
Gainesville for late teens
Tampa/St. Pete for early 20s
NYC for mid/late 20s (left due to Covid)
Miami for late 20s and early 30s
LA now for early/mid 30s
@jacksdiningroom It’s my death row meal, have been 4 times. Outrageously priced but worth it on special occasions (the rare occasion you can land a reservation).
@BriannaWu@1KimberlyBrooks Imagine thinking 1) that wasn’t scripted and he was playing the part and 2) even if it was real, that people can’t grow and evolve
Nithya Raman admits to giving drug addicts a billion dollars who are using it to buy…MORE DRUGS! “Well, yes”. Wow. They don’t even try to lie about it.
You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me.
Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious?
You are the fraud.
