And PSA for everyone saying this was "illegal":
Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.
The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says.
Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation.
Calling Elon Musk a hoarder is economically illiterate.
He is not sitting on cash. His wealth is equity in companies that actively spend capital every day on jobs, factories, and R&D.
Taxing that means forcing share sales and weakening productive firms.
The US government already takes in nearly $5 trillion per year.
If that is not enough to solve poverty, Elon Musk is not the bottleneck.
