The SpaceX IPO, which has made Elon Musk a trillionaire, has caused a lot of whining from the Communists on Social Media, to start pouting about how it isn't fair, and that no one should be that rich.
But what they forget is that Elon put his entire fortune into SpaceX and Tesla, and both companies almost went bankrupt multiple times.
He took the risk, and he won.
He created immense value for the world, and he gets to keep a part of it. His investors made money, and SpaceX workers became millionaires.
But those who don't have anything to do with it, are complaining.
Stop whining and get to work.
1) The US already collects FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF TAX REVENUE A YEAR. The idea that you need to collect even more taxes — when you parasites already confiscate the equivalent of Elon’s entire net worth five times over, every year — is lunacy. Stop wasting billions of dollars a month of stupid bullshit. How about that for an idea?
2) We do not need more children in taxpayer funded daycare centers. Our goal should be precisely the opposite of that. We need more women at home raising their kids.
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…
Congratulations to the first-ever four-year MD graduating class from the University of Saskatchewan’s Regina Campus.
These new physicians are key to ensuring Saskatchewan families can access the care that they need closer to home. @usask
It is dizzying to see @EvanLSolomon and Liberal MPs tweet about the importance of privacy even as they prepare to vote to shut down lawful access hearings and stop debating (or making public) amendments to safeguard privacy.

Elon Musk breaks down the exact playbook legacy media uses for propaganda and how they intentionally shape false narratives:
“Unfortunately, what I’ve learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren’t true
An example is people calling me a Nazi over a random hand gesture at a rally, when all I was saying was, ‘My heart goes out to you,’ while talking about space travel”
They do it on repetition all at once; essentially, that will end up outweighing the reality
Repeat a narrative enough times, amplify it across headlines, television, and social media, and millions will believe it without ever examining the full context or even the actual reality
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future.
you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine.
i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success.
i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk.
let’s leave it at that then.
perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.
Protesters are standing outside JPMorgan Chase in New York this weekend, holding giant banners that say “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION”
These people are protesting the greatest success story in modern history. Let’s look at the actual reality:
• Elon has already paid more in taxes than almost anyone alive
• Tesla and SpaceX employ well over 100,000 people and actively push humanity forward.
• Through DOGE, he already helped cut billions in wasteful government spending. That saved taxpayers hundreds of billions.....meaning he actually helped secure grandmas' pensions by slashing bureaucracy, not the other way around.
• Friday's historic SpaceX IPO didn't "steal" from anyone. It created massive value, turned everyday workers into millionaires, and rightfully made him the world’s first trillionaire
He didn’t steal anything. He built it from the ground up
His companies have created massive job growth, accelerated sustainable energy, and are literally building the infrastructure to make humanity multi-planetary
Rather than celebrating excellence, demanding the government punish it is pure evil
Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
Prime Minister Carney is arriving at the G7 as the only leader whose country is in recession. In his speech today, he spoke about a “New World Order” again, while Canadians have empty fridges, empty gas tanks, and empty bank accounts paying for his inflationary taxes and spending. They don't need empty words.
He should stop taking credit for things done over a decade ago. We have had free trade with France since Prime Minister Harper got a deal with all of Europe. Today’s phoney, unenforceable “Joint Statement” is another illusion filled with meaningless garble.
No more theatre. Canadians need affordability, jobs and safety, and an end to the Liberal government here at home.
