@RepMcGarvey Are you a useful idiot or lying?
You have to be one or the other, or both, to say that the man who literally paid more taxes than anyone in history "pays less in taxes than you".
The waste, fraud, and corruption you enable are why 1 in 3 Americans can't afford to see a doctor.
@GoBlueAlways_@glenn_tunes Elon's companies charge the taxpayer far less than the alternatives. It takes a progressive-left mix of stupid/crazy to think that the guy charging less for more is ripping the taxpayer off.
"Why pay SpaceX $10 billion, when we could pay a Senator's crony company $100 billion!"
@EdMarkey You either know you're lying, or you are too dim and ignorant to understand how economics and politics work.
Either way, your opinion should be ridiculed and then ignored by rational and moral people.
@ClimateWarrior7 I didn't look closely enough... parody accounts are becoming ever less distinguishable from progressive accounts.
It is getting harder and harder to out-crazy the left.
@ClimateWarrior7 Why are you such a greedy, envious, and narcissistic little prick?
You want the government to force Elon to pursue YOUR agenda rather than contribute to humanity in his own, far grander and more important, way.
SpaceX is how Elon contributes to humanity; you contribute nothing.
@AndrewHWestern When you insist that the only moral and rational view is "racist", then you shouldn't be surprised if some people become comfortable being called "racist".
Not everyone is a lickspittle coward who would sell out their people and their nation to avoid being called a mean name.
@demonseatmymind@joncoopertweets It's wild that the US political class takes 1 trillion dollars away from its citizens and burns through it in less than 60 days!
It took Elon his entire life to build it up so he could help take humanity, and life itself, to the stars; politicians could waste it all in 60 days.
@joncoopertweets Wouldn't it be nice if people like you weren't responsible for setting up a system to use the plight of vulnerable people to shield billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and corruption?
"The people who build the wealth shouldn't be allowed to keep it! THEY MUST BE FORCED TO GIVE IT TO ME!"
That is interesting, coming from someone from the political class that takes over a trillion dollars every two months... most of it consumed by waste, fraud, and corruption.
@bourscheid The larger problem Elon has spent his life trying to solve is that humanity, and life itself, is trapped on one planet and vulnerable to extinction.
What you don't get, because of your narcissism, is that the world shouldn't be forced to comply with your ranking of priorities.
@kasthomas@HipHopFellow@DissentFu I know plenty of people like you, trying to find excuses for why you are a comparative failure at life.
If you traded places with any one of those people in childhood, they would still succeed, and you would still fail.
If you inherited wealth, you'd be the one to lose it all.
@kasthomas@DissentFu Your greed, envy, and resentment are consuming you. Go touch grass, and try to find it in your heart to celebrate the success of others.
@DissentFu Your personal troubles, as real as they are, don't give you the moral right to condemn those who have done well.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity and resentment, try to find in your heart a way to celebrate the successes of others.
Elon believes it isn't safe for humanity, and life itself, to be trapped on one planet.
Why should Elon be hindered from trying to save humanity so that you can have politicians pretend to work on the much smaller issues you care about?
Your greed and envy are what drive you.
@RepDexterOR “I want to take this wealth from the man who spent his entire life building it, because nobody but me and my friends should have this much money!”
There is no greed and avarice so great as that of a petty politician.
