the spacex ipo irks libs because they think meritocracy is a lib thing and it turns out meritocracy doesn’t actually exist and the closest thing thing to actual meritocracy is capitalism and they’re bad at it because it rewards risk-taking not credentialism
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.
unclear how to persuade people who believe in outright theft away from their opinion, or if it even makes sense to try anymore. communists don’t believe in liberalism, they only believe in jailing you and taking your things. treat them as you would a home invader.
"Fair share" - the phrase every looter uses when he wants what he didn't earn.
You call them "oligarchs" while proposing to seize 5% of their wealth by force. Who is the one wielding state power here, Senator?
You just proposed a moratorium on AI data centers - literally trying to freeze the most productive technology of our era. How many jobs, how much wealth, how much human progress does YOUR agenda cost Americans? No one tallies that bill.
California's billionaires are already fleeing to Nevada. The Hoover Institution estimates this tax will cost the state $25 billion net. You would destroy the golden goose and then call it justice while ignoring the price paid in blood, sweat and tears because of your policies.
"The people want it" - 54% voting to confiscate another man's property doesn't make it right. Two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner is not moral governance. Rights are not subject to majority rule. That is why we are a republic.
You have spent decades producing nothing, creating nothing, building nothing - while demanding an ever-larger share of what others build. That is not fairness. It is the plunder of a man who knows too little.
