History won’t remember the people who said it couldn’t be done.
It will remember the people who did it anyway.
Congratulations Elon.
The first trillionaire. 🚀
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.
agree ! Why all the outrage just cause @elonmusk happens to be worth over $1trillion now? and by the way it does not mean his bank balance is sitting at that level.
Why is there so much hate for Elon Musk right now?
He just became the world’s first trillionaire…
And suddenly everyone’s furious.
But this is the same guy creating thousands of jobs, building electric cars, reusable rockets, and pushing technology forward.
What exactly is the crime?
Succeeding? Innovating? Creating value?
I genuinely don’t understand the level of hate.
why? why are so many twits crying because @elonmusk worked hard, took buisness risks, made investments...and now he is worth over $1 Trillion! What is wrong with that?!? Good on him! (and so buzz off you buzzards!)
Jacinta Allen lies as much as Albo. The process of privatising the State Electricity Commission (SEC) in Victoria was started by the Joan Kirner Labor government.
In 1991, under Premier Joan Kirner, the Victorian Labor government began the privatisation process for the SECV.

I am no expert....but with Lying Albo meddling with Negative gearing and Capital Gains taxes i can only see rents going thru the roof and house prices falling and houses sitting for sale for years and years

@ellymelly@AussieMongrel1 into the grave. don't care what the Liberals do anymore. they are quite happy continuing to dig their own grave as they have been since 14th Sep 2015
After Liberal Bronwyn Bishop voluntarily repaid her helicopter flight costs, Albanese said her position was ‘untenable.’
But when Labor Anika Wells repaid wrongly claimed taxpayer funds, Albanese says ‘she’s a very good minister.’
The double standards are staggering.
