Democrats: “I can solve every problem in the world if I get $200 billion from Elon Musk!”
Normals: “You spend $7 trillion a year and you haven’t fixed all that stuff yet?”
Democrats:
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…

I’m also from Brownsville, Texas I can tell you that this lady is lying through her teeth to be controversial on TV.
I personally live streamed the last beach cleanup SPACEX hosted LIVE ON X and all of the trash we found was from beach visitors.
Every word out her mouth is FALSE.
@HillaryClinton
Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years.
While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable.
You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off.
And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.”
The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls.
Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.
I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.
SpaceX raised only $12B of capital before going public. With that $12B, they revolutionized the rocket industry, built a global satellite network, and created arguably the most innovative company of all time.
The federal government spends $12B every 15 hours and still can’t get its shit together. Prior to SpaceX, NASA was sending astronauts into space on Soviet-era Russian Soyuz capsules.
So no, I don’t find Elon’s wealth to be a problem, and I wouldn’t trust Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders to allocate a single dollar of it.
@RoKhanna YES! While private industry has created our entire world, government has just been a leach and a waste of capital.
I DONT TRUST YOU. You have a track record of failure.
Whether Elon or Larry has a $500B or $1T does not impact my life in the slightest.
If they were taking it from me, I'd be outraged, but economics is not a pie, and I'm busy baking my own.
Good for them, I guess. At least we know the system works as intended: it's the American Dream we profess to care about, after all.
