A Point Musk Has Not Considered

[Marener]

He hasnt even said he wanted to cut SS or medicare. He said it needed to be reformed.
Media duped millions. Again.
Dumbasses.

You’re not being fired, you’re being downsized.

Don’t be a sucker.

A Point Musk Has Not Considered

Elon Musk is determined force a shut-down of the federal government. As a foreigner, Musk only has a rudimentary understanding of how the U.S. Government operates.

As Musk is eager to see Social Security and Medicare cease to exist and force tens-of-millions of retired and disabled Americans into poverty and homelessness, does he understand a government shut-down will not accomplish this?

“If the federal government shuts down this weekend, work at numerous publicly funded agencies would slow or stop altogether, while millions of government employees would stop receiving paychecks.”

“But Social Security benefits would still go out”

“Social Security is considered a mandatory program, and it's not funded by the shorter-term continuing-resolution bills that have kept the government operating in recent years amid Washington political gridlock.”

So, crafty old Elon will have to wait until next year, after dictator trump enters the White House on January 20th. He, trump, can then, by royal proclamation, declare Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs defunct. This action should have the millions of trump cultists dancing in the streets.

How much money has the US government given to Tesla?


The US government has given Tesla billions of dollars in subsidies, grants, tax credits, and contracts, including:

• Subsidies: Tesla has received $2.8 billion in state and federal subsidies since 2008.
  
  
• Grants and tax credits: Tesla has received billions of dollars in grants and tax credits.
  
  
• Contracts: Tesla has received $41.9 million in federal contracts since 2008, including contracts with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, and the Department of Defense.
  
  
• Loans: The Department of Energy issued a $465 million loan to Tesla in 2010 to help develop a manufacturing facility and produce all-electric vehicles.
  
  
• Regulatory credits: Tesla has sold almost $9 billion in regulatory credits since 2018. These credits are awarded to manufacturers who surpass emissions rules and can be sold to other carmakers.
  

Tesla has benefited from government assistance because of its role in moving the US toward cleaner cars.

Musk has a tear it down mentality
No concept of how he plans to replace it

Replace it?

We wouldn’t have to assume if these jokers actually had an articulable plan when running for office.

Most of that goes to agriculture corporations

Musk is gutting the Government without first considering the tasks that are being performed and the long term impacts of cutting them
It takes years to build a qualified workforce and Musks plans seem centered on cutting the most qualified.

Due to his large reliance on government investment in his companies,he seems to have a conflict of interests

Basically you’re opposed to a balanced budget. Got it

 

[MarcATL]

Basically you’re opposed to a balanced budget. Got it

LoL

 

[rightwinger]

Basically you’re opposed to a balanced budget. Got it

I am all for it
But taxes have to be part of the equation

Decide on your spending and then set the tax rate accordingly
Balanced Budget

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

I am all for it

But taxes have to be part of the equation

So may we cut our stupid spending like $48mil for DEI initiatives in Burma. Taxes are already part of it. We have a spend problem not a revenue problem

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

LoL

Stop looking in the mirror

 

[Hollie]

Maybe they personally have no need for those programs and it's all about them?

More likely, you are just a silly alarmist making nonsense claims about anyone wanting to cut SS and Medicare.

Yes, it is frankly disgusting that an unelected white South African billionaire apartheid fan is pushing to withhold payments to ordinary Americans (many of whom are black) who are working and trying to feed their families during the winter period. The people who voted for Trump and his cronies and sycophants are betraying their own country and countrymen. They have replaced loyalty to their country with loyalty to a fascist dictatorial scumbag who wouldn't even give them the time of day under normal circumstances.

There are rumors circulating now about making Musk the new speaker, such is the level of theatrics this country has now descended to.

The fact that Musk is not Black tells me everything about the magats.

Seems to me a proper reaction to anyone wanting to do that. Especially considering those doing that will never be affected by it.

LOL. The guy is the richest man in the world with 400 billion dollars, much of it made in the US. It's crackers to say he doesn't have an understanding of US finances.

If not for U.S. taxpayers he would have went bankrupt long ago.
