@DriveTeslaca I object to the specific targeting of Tesla due to Elon's involvement with Trump. There are millions of Canadian shareholders & thousands of Canadian Tesla employees who are harmed, while Elon is not impacted in any meaningful way. It's cutting off your nose to spite your face
@ABDanielleSmith We need green energy to make this less lucrative so we don’t have to put billions of GHGs back into the air just for money. Has Alberta explored battery manufacturing??
@hankthecrank666@reggiebblue Billionaires come from capitalism. Create a company that creates value, own a bunch of it (cause you created it) and then take it public. The capital markets are what create billionaires. It’s not like they have it piled up in a money bin like Scrooge McDuck. Hope this helps.
@FredLambert It's not unreasonable to impose some sort of informed voter requirement. Too many idiots voting is the cause of the current political predicament. Some gatekeeping there would be welcome if we don't want to end up with Boaty McBoatface as the next president.
@SanguineAgnosti@JamesSurowiecki But accurate enough that he’s still transforming your world via mass EV adoption, the availability of space based internet service, grid scale batteries, etc. so maybe he’s not perfect, like you are, but he IS a driving force in the world, UNLIKE you are. So there’s that.
@wck47@iamwhatiam5150@MichaelSLinden Musk has been a multi-hundred billionaire for far longer than Trump has been near power. Get your head out of your ass. Some people ARE just better than you are at stuff, and that’s ok! You don’t have to try and tear the success of others down to make up for your own failings.
@wck47@iamwhatiam5150@MichaelSLinden So you think because he took advantage of government programs available to every one else as well, that it somehow explains the difference? Why didn’t blue origin get those same grants/contracts? Why can’t they land an orbital rocket booster yet?
@wck47@iamwhatiam5150@MichaelSLinden Millions? That’s all you think it takes? Laughable. Many many millions of people have inherited millions of dollars and accomplished nothing.
