Cute theory, let's play it out.

A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.

But... oh wait, there is no pile.

It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.

The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.

Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.

The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.

But it gets worse.

Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.

Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.

So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.

So the monkeys sit there.

No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.

Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.

OH

And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Protesters are standing outside JPMorgan Chase in New York this weekend, holding giant banners that say “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION”

These people are protesting the greatest success story in modern history. Let’s look at the actual reality:

• Elon has already paid more in taxes than almost anyone alive
• Tesla and SpaceX employ well over 100,000 people and actively push humanity forward.
• Through DOGE, he already helped cut billions in wasteful government spending. That saved taxpayers hundreds of billions.....meaning he actually helped secure grandmas' pensions by slashing bureaucracy, not the other way around.
• Friday's historic SpaceX IPO didn't "steal" from anyone. It created massive value, turned everyday workers into millionaires, and rightfully made him the world’s first trillionaire

He didn’t steal anything. He built it from the ground up

His companies have created massive job growth, accelerated sustainable energy, and are literally building the infrastructure to make humanity multi-planetary

Rather than celebrating excellence, demanding the government punish it is pure evil

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

Notice how socialists never talk about seizing the wealth of George Soros or any of the other multi-billionaires who bankroll their operations. They would be praising Elon to the sky, and vigorously protecting his wealth, if he were politically on their side.

When @PeteButtigieg got $1.2 TRILLION to fix America’s roads and bridges… then said the money would be used to tear down racist roads.

A moment so absurdly woke even Al Sharpton shot him a look that said, “Brother…. you crazy.”

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Unbelievable.
Was the Globe and Mail hoping we wouldn’t notice they changed their headline?
I think that’s an admission to just how bad the first one was. The one highlighted in green is the newly revised headline.

This guy was only sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for throwing a rock & hitting an ICE agent.

For perspective, I was facing around 24 years in prison for peacefully walking through the capitol on Jan 6th.

Grandmas who prayed outside the capitol on J6 were facing decades.

“Tax the rich”
We already do.

“Make the rich pay their fair share.”
They already do.

These slogans are catchy but inaccurate. They reveal that someone is misinformed on taxation in the United States.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

The media treat Republicans and Democrats differently.

Probably because for every Republican in a newsroom, there are TEN Democrats.

Elon Musk: I completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated the fine people lie knowing it's false.

“A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real, still. The whole Steele dossier was completely concocted. The Clinton campaign funded a fake conspiracy theory, a fake Russia collusion hoax regarding Trump that was completely false.

The media also kept repeating the fine people hoax that said that Trump called neo-Nazis fine people, which is demonstrably false if you just listen to his speech. He absolutely makes it clear that he does not think neo-Nazis are fine people.

I just completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated that lie a few days before the election, knowing it's false.”

Look at NYC’s budget.

Now look at Florida’s.

A bigger budget for almost 1/3 of the population.

One clear example dismantles the delusion that this is a tax problem rather than runaway government overspending.

Raman gets last place on mail-in votes. Raman gets last place on in-person votes. Then suddenly surges ahead *only* with mail-in ballots submitted AFTER the election.

LMAO.

[Jessica @JessicaTetreau]

Is she actually lecturing us about rich people from the back of a limousine 🤣

[MNConservative🇺🇸⭐️ @RealJMPeterman]

Elon Musk didn't vote for Obamacare - @TheDemocrats did.

@elonmusk didn't sell his medical practice to corporate conglomerate Allina, that raised prices for everyone in Minnesota - you did.

You did this, Kelly - not Donald Trump. Not Elon Musk. You.

Net worths of politicians whining about Elon Musk’s fortune from SpaceX:

🔵 Ro Khanna: $250+ million (inherited)
🔵 Gavin Newsom: $30 million
🔵 Elizabeth Warren: $12 million
🔵 Bernie Sanders: $5 million (plus 3 houses)

A bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites.

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

Some people suggest that while green is expensive, the benefits are much greater

Well, no:

The benefit of net-zero is $4.5 trillion/year, but the cost $27 trillion

(much larger costs and benefits, because we're currently only doing a bit of net-zero currently)

Elon Musk's contribution to the national economy:

Over 2021–2025, Musk's companies (Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company) reportedly injected ~$338 billion directly into the U.S. economy via:

• $110.7 billion in wages/salaries (supporting • 200,000+ employees at competitive pay).

• ~$46 billion in taxes (corporate, payroll, etc.).

• $182 billion+ in supplier spending (e.g., Tesla alone spent heavily on U.S. batteries, chips, steel).

During his lifetime, Bernie Sanders has contributed approximately $0.00 to the national economy.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

Be quiet, commie.

Wealth taxes, like income taxes, punish people for being productive.

Taxation should be consumption-based.

Period.

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

Elon responded to Warren calling him a “freeloader" in 2021:

“I'm actually paying the most tax that any individual in history has ever paid this year. Ever."

"And she doesn't pay taxes basically at all. Her salary is paid for by the taxpayer, like me. If you could die by irony, she would be dead."
