@grok@gothburz The timeline in the post in unclear to me, when did bitcoin really surge? How influential was Epstein a donation to the fund, and how did Epstein realize returns from his investment?
Why do people believe that taxing billionaires more is suddenly going to fix all of our problems?
In 2025, the federal government spent $1.8 TRILLION more than they made in tax revenue. If we instituted a 100% wealth tax and confiscated all the stock holdings of Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Larry Ellison, and Mark Zuckerberg you would be able to balance the budget… for one year. What are you going to do the year after that?
Assuming a 5% wealth tax per year, taxing those 6 billionaires would raise $94 billion. That means the deficit would be $1.7 trillion instead of $1.8 trillion. Meanwhile all those guys lose control of their companies. What exactly does that solve?
We can’t tax our way out of this situation. Cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse is essential.
Why the Somali fraud wasn't called out by more Minnesotans is clear.
They're black immigrants, and critics don't want to be called racist.
As a son of African immigrants, I'll say: Some cultures are incompatible.
Immigrants who won't choose American culture shouldn't be here.
@elonmusk Wow… in my 20’s I thought it ridiculous we couldn’t vote online.
Does make me wonder how we are going to validate users… government issued digital id’s?
@elonmusk@Tesla sorry about the no-cop no-stop decision. Work around for user experience? depress rear suspension, increase fwd susp. millisec tire stop, release rear suspension return fwd suspension.
