You are suggesting that Elon Musk did not earn what he has?

He risked his own money and assets and due to his hard work it happened to pay off, he has created a staggering amount of jobs and income for thousands of families through his various entities.

He CREATES and PROVIDES.

You TAKE and REDISTRIBUTE.

How dare you compare the two.

And now you have decided that the government needs to TAKE MORE from him?

How about putting your time and attention into figuring out how we can incentive more people to be like him, make it easier to create and run businesses (less regulation, less taxes etc.) then make it easier and more profitable to invest in startups and let's create 1,000 Elon's.

Don't punish those that create jobs, figure out how to create more of them.

You just don't get it. All you want to do is take.

@MarzellCrypto It's just numbers, hopefully no one hates you over that, you don't control demand or lack of.

@markchadwickx 💯 OTHERS chart has absorbed bad news well

Also OIL - UAE, Venezuela, U.S., production of all 3 is going up and will hit all time highs (possibly even Iran)

Low energy across the globe could be the catalyst for risk on assets.

Regardless of your politics, this is a great example of how important platforms like X are.

In the past, when I was a kid (like a million years ago).

The debate would have run on television in that area only. Then the local newspaper may have discussed it.

However the TV and paper would have been able to spin it however the owners of that media wanted.

Now with User Generated Content we can get the facts fast, and throughout the entire world in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to @elonmusk we still have this platform and the ramifications of Elon purchasing formerly known as twitter to create X are exponentially positive, we will never truly know how important Elon's purchase of X was. However I for one will be eternally grateful, and everyone else that puts truth over politics.

I only saw one of his videos, does anyone know if he did #3 below?

Is #1 okay, I thought so.
Is #2 okay, I thought so.
Is #3 okay, I don't think so.

1. Not Wanting to Celebrate Homosexuality
Definition: This is a position of neutrality, apathy, or non-approval. A person may not personally agree with or support LGBTQ+ pride, weddings, or cultural celebrations, but they do not actively harass or hate individuals.

2. Hating Homosexuality (Ideological Opposition)
Definition: This involves holding negative views or moral objections towards same-sex behavior or identity. It is often rooted in traditional, cultural, or religious beliefs that see homosexuality as "wrong," "unnatural," or "immoral".

3. Hating the Person Who Is Homosexual (Prejudice/Homophobia)
Definition: This is a personalized prejudice, aversion, or hatred directed at an individual based on their sexual orientation.

@SenWarren Stop bleeding people so you can spend more.

Start spending less. PERIOD.

You should only open your mouth if you are going to discuss CUTS.

Never open your mouth to discuss SPENDING.

That goes for all of congress.

🚨 High School Sports Leveling UP ! 🚨

Men can stay in high school up to 22 years of age in Virginia!

22 year old MEN will play 14 year old BOYS in football , basketball, soccer etc.

22 year old WOMEN will play 14 year old GIRLS in volleyball, basketball, soccer etc.

22 year old MEN will play 14 year old GIRLS in volleyball, basketball, soccer etc.

Only in Virginia - Progress for all !

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

SHOCKING: Virginia public schools are allowing foreign migrant non-English speakers to enroll in their high schools up to the age of 22.

Under Virginia law, the standard cutoff for high school is age 20, but a special exception for English Language Learners who first enroll after turning 12 lets them stay until they turn 22 — with no tuition charged if state funding is provided

Virginia Code § 22.1-5(D) explicitly states: “School boards may accept and provide programs for students for whom English is a second language who entered school in Virginia for the first time after reaching their twelfth birthday, and who have not reached 22 years of age on or before August 1 of the school year. No tuition shall be charged such students, if state funding is provided for such programs.”

What the h€ll!

[Brian Longest @longest]

Two things:

(1) I think he started with the word "If" but it may have been cut off. "If you commit crimes I will prosecute you", that's just part of his job description, I'm not sure he had to tell us that, most people don't have press conferences to read their job description duties,

(2) he did seem to say that "in Minneapolis there was a criminal homicide of unarmed innocent people", he stated it as if it was fact and it's that type of language that people hear and believe, that is dangerous and he should think twice before he speaks or someone may act on what he said, very negligent in my opinion

@EricLDaugh He said "bursting into churches" is that true?

Does anyone know of ICE agents bursting into churches and disrupting church services? I was not aware that has happened.

Is he lying?

🚨 PROBLEM: Long security lines at airports
✅ SOLUTION: US government is sending more employees to help

OOOH THE OUTRAGE !

That's it in a nut shell. Both TSA and ICE are federal employees, congress will not pay TSA but will pay ICE so ICE has to go help because some TSA are quitting or not showing up which is totally understandable because they are not getting paid.

@CRRJA5 Only some parents. The foreign born parents voted in the current governor.

This is only the beginning, stay tuned for more madness in Virginia, they are only getting started.

@SenSanders That's not a tax, it's taking and giving.

Redistribution of wealth, remove the word tax.

By the way, what do you have? I want some of that.

🚨Florida Property Tax Gone? 🚨

Not so fast ! Needs 60% vote in November.

Portion of Property tax allocated to fund schools stays !

[Brian Longest @longest]

@CaptMarkKelly Are you implying the government is above the law and can do whatever it wants with no repercussions?

Or should we let this play out and see who is right, then make your statement?

I prefer the latter.
