@davehendricks@markpinc Musk and Jeff are gifted massive government contracts
Zuck was gifted a ban of his competitor who out competed him
And all 3 are gifted lower effective tax rates than a nurse
@markpinc Zuck had to use the government to outlaw his competitor because he is so bad at running a company
Musk will never ever create a sustainable colony on Mars. It's a distraction like his tunnels were to end high speed rail
He wasn't want to pay taxes. That's all
@pmarca Zuck used the government to outlaw a competitor who ate his lunch with a better product while he was busy playing VR games
If he's a broligarch it's only because he's so bad at being an oligarch it's a disgrace to Russian oligarchs
@ArthurMacwaters@BernieSanders Zuck wasted billions pushing VR and then had to lobby the government to ban tiktok who ate his lunch
Making your competition illegal is smart I guess...
@KelleyGwen30180 @BoomerG2892 @BernieSanders Musk spent 50 billion to buy Twitter so he could swing an election
Which media company can Sanders afford to buy?
@BoomerG2892 @BernieSanders Bernie has an attainable amount of wealth. Most any doctor his age or lawyer is worth far more
But billionaires worth a million times what Sanders is worth is fine?
@micheline12341@NatanzonAna@TerryWatkinsJr1 Democrats have to help Republicans do deeply disastrous policies to be called "mainstream" by the same Democrats who want us to be outraged by Republicans winning an election
You can't make the cognitive dissonance up
@micheline12341@NatanzonAna@TerryWatkinsJr1 Stop complaining when Democrats demand we call it "moderate" to side with Republicans. Iraq war. Trickle down. De regulating banks. All that made Biden a "moderate" right?
You got what you wanted. A "moderate" outcome right? More Republicans
@NatanzonAna@TerryWatkinsJr1 You call it "far left" the more a Democrat sides against Republicans
If Corporate Democrats cared more about passing popular policies than normalizing Republicans, the "moderates" would be Bernie Sanders not the Biden's
@TerryWatkinsJr1 You realize corporate Democrats call it "moderate" to side with Republicans right? Here you are marginalizing the Democrats who don't side with Republicans as much
Why feign outrage when you normalize the Republican party?
@trouble_man90 Corporate Democrats are the ones who call it "moderate" to side with Republicans. Why normalize the Republican party then complain why Democrats lose?
@whoismrzero@sspencer_smb@AGHamilton29 I'd still rather the US government own half of tiktok than one American billionaire
Given regulatory capture and monopolistic tendencies, big tech probably should be at least half publicly owned
@chenweihua@LindseyGrahamSC They speak of communism but won't allow competition in our market. Only foreign countries and their citizens get to choose which social media company to use. We have our government choose for us
@LindseyGrahamSC It's weird you think US social media countries should get to operate in foreign countries but have a monopoly in this country.
Why do you hate competition? Are you a communist?
@PopBase Biden can sign an executive order that states that the tikok ban is unconstitutional and can't be enforced ever. State that Facebook and Twitter are larger national security threats.
He could have done that at any time
@micah_erfan The goal is to get Trump to do something. If tiktok thought Democrats would save them they probably would have done whatever the Dems wanted in return. Any company would
@DEMilysList @AlDefinitely Bernies team had no power. It's why a ton of caucus states were removed. Given the Dem party admits they can cheat in the primary and it's legal, I think the added security of in person caucus voting was ideal
