Legacy media is now pushing another narrative:
“Virtually all of Elon Musk’s wealth came from government help.”
This is completely false.
Government contracts are not subsidies.
SpaceX wins contracts because it offers the best product at the lowest price. NASA pays SpaceX for real launches, real cargo missions, and real astronaut transport, not charity.
SpaceX is expected to get less than 5% of its revenue from NASA this year.
Add up every government incentive Tesla and SpaceX have ever received, and it is still less than 2% of the value of Tesla and SpaceX.
Tesla did not become the world’s most valuable car company because of tax credits. It became huge because it built better EVs, better software, better batteries, and the best charging network.
And when the $7,500 EV tax credit was removed, Tesla sales increased.
The real reason they’re obsessed with Elon Musk is that he exposed how irrelevant they have become.
People no longer wait for newspaper editors, TV anchors, or corporate journalists to tell them the truth.
Legacy media lost its monopoly on information.
Now all they have left is clickbait, outrage, and anti-Elon narratives.
And that’s exactly why the trust in media is at an all time low.
Javier Milei: “If you earn your money honestly, who the hell am I to tell you what you can spend it on?”
“What gives me the right to be so arrogant and presumptuous as to tell you that you can spend it on this but not on that?”
Thomas Sowell on programs aiming for equality:
“I’ve been doing studies now for 20 years of programs designed to increase equality—they increase inequality.”
“Because even when the programs are designed for disadvantaged groups, they help the affluent members of the disadvantaged groups, while the lower members of those groups fall further behind than ever before.”
@elonmusk Yea. It's definitely being beheaded that is making people mad. Self-preservation.
What makes us mad on social media is that our governments keep continuing to let in third-world invaders who commit crimes and refuse to deport them. Or hold them accountable.
