Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record.
You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary.
Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
@LynAldenContact Not seen, will check it out. Although looks like another remake (‘reimagining’ 😂) of an Asian film.
We need a new Hollywood. It’s lost its mojo.
@NYCMayor Fuck government. Fuck taxes.
You’ve printed money so the poor are poorer.
Taxes are an illusion, elitist little rich kid.
You’re the worst of the worst, and I look forward to your dethroning, you grifter.
No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.
@Heccles94 They don’t. They tweet about the Pakistani ones, which are completely disproportionate per capita. Basic mathematics, but I wouldn’t expect a left-wing dunce to understand,
This guy is a communist, a trader (basically an economic parasite), and a government shill.
Have a look into the failed elitist communist experiments that have happened over the last century.
The far-left are the biggest bunch of elitist self entitled pricks you will ever encounter. They detest the proletariat and emotionally engage them to get to their seedy locked in solutions.
After that they’re just cannon fodder or are left to graze eating grass as Gary hob nobs with the elites.
Either that or he’s desposed of as a useful idiot.
