Elon Musk Makes billions off the Government, but he is firing people from Government Jobs.

[skye]

There is no excuse for you. Your angry worthless threads convince no one.

And that is a fact!

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

LMAO! Musk lives and has lived off the proceeds from his companies ever since he founded them. Now he's also being paid for his appointed position. That pay is a drop in his bucket and it's not yours to take away because you dislike the fact that he was already rich. Support your threads with facts not feelings.

This was all magaturd feelz. ^^^^

You don't really understand that billionaires have vast portfolios set up for their enormous wealth. The sheer amount of money they have becomes their sole revenue driver, IE. their wealth does all the heavy lifting for them. A job is completely unnecessary at this point. Investments/donations make/break maintaining said wealth. Cushions are put in place to prevent any losses from investments/donations. Billionaires are protected in a way you wouldn't even fucking grasp.

Now, that's just 1 billion.

Now, imagine that multiplied by 326.3.

You can't. I can't. The 1% are completely isolated from normies. They no longer understand society at large.

But you voted to give people like this free reign to run roughshod over our federal government.

You don't seem to grasp that some have a fucking problem with that.

 

[BothWings]

Our New World Order-corrupted federal government has run roughshod over us for the past 35 years and has become an ineffective, wasteful bureaucracy. That's why they're being downsized...AT LAST.

 

[Street Juice]

Musk and his companies have made bilions from government contracts. He is being paid 8 million per day by the government to fire people working for the government. This is stupid.

Elon Musk is on a crusade against government spending. Unless, apparently, it's going to him.

"If action is not taken to curb the deficit, America is in deep trouble. No different than a person who gets into too much debt," said the DOGE boss on his social network X in December.

"The corruption and waste is being rooted out in real-time," he added on February 2, as he took a sledgehammer to federal agencies and all but dismantled the U.S. Agency of International Development with no authorization from Congress.

Yet according to federal data analyzed by The Independent, Musk's own companies have been promised or awarded nearly $21 billion by the U.S. government since 2008.

The cash was still flowing as of Feb 17, with another $76.7 million promised since Donald Trump's inauguration.

As Elon Musk has led an effort to slash government spending, his own companies have, over the last few years, received billions of dollars in government contracts.

Now watch the excuses.

​

So, he's giving back. What's the issue?

Another excuse. He's not giving back. He's taking jobs from people.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Another excuse. He's not giving back. He's taking jobs from people.

Since you spent your working life sucking at the government’s teat and not producing a single concrete thing, it doesn’t surprise me that you feel that way. Being a community organizer doesn’t qualify you to judge people who actually spend their lives producing necessary things,

 

[Rambunctious]

Musk just released his new wheelchair onto the market for people who can't walk and its fully automated and he has it priced at $279.00 ....

Elon Musk Makes billions off the Government,​

By rescuing stranded astronauts

but he is firing people from Government Jobs.​

who stranded said astronauts.

Lets hear it for plan "B."

 

[yidnar]

Musk makes billions because he owns large companies, not for his appointed seat in Trump's cabinet! He was making those billions long before he ever got that position. It's difficult to tell if the OP is deliberately misleading or if he is truly that misled himself. It can only be one or the other.

a combination of both ..

Now watch the excuses.

according to federal data analyzed by The Independent, Musk's own companies have been promised or awarded nearly $21 billion by the U.S. government since 2008.

So in 26 years Musk has been paid not quite $21 billion. I wonder how much of that he put into his company that just saved the astronauts? SpaceX's profit margin should be easy to deduce, IM2 what with a financial statement and math...

Math is Racist!

Also a big difference between 'promised' and 'awarded.' You should have your numbers people look into that and get back to us. Are you sure you want to wonk?

 

[Marchimedes]

There is no excuse for you. Your angry worthless threads convince no one.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Contracts have purpose on both sides. What are we getting in return? Speaking of return, how much were you planning on spending to bring stranded Americans lost in space home? I bet that cost a pretty penny...
Then there is Starlink, that can go into disaster areas and connect people to the outside world.

Do we have contracts with Boeing? Are F-47's a part of those contracts? Are you livid about that too?
They are both government contractors. We have many of them.

 

[BrokeLoser]

I've been watching them for five weeks. I predict nothing new will come from magaturds/regressives in here.

Disaster administration 2.0 is just another bad TeeVee show. Give them time, they'll lose focus of the mission.

Humberto…Aren’t you happy about all those disgusting brown parasites he’s been eradicating? Just think of all that extra welfare that will be available for DaShawn, ShaQuita and their litters.

 

[Marchimedes]

You don't really understand that billionaires have vast portfolios set up for their enormous wealth.

Everybody understands that.

So to kick your rant off, Mr. Tumbleweed you led with sumpin stupid? I haven't peeked but I'm sure you'll make up for that....

The sheer amount of money they have becomes their sole revenue driver, IE. their wealth does all the heavy lifting for them. A job is completely unnecessary at this point. Investments/donations make/break maintaining said wealth. Cushions are put in place to prevent any losses from investments/donations.

Nope. You did a short lecture on simple economics then called us all idiots.

Now... that.

I acknowledge you said more stuff. Good news is I know a guy who knows a guy who, for a moderate price may or may not be able to teach you how not to su(k so much at debating politics on the internet.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Humberto…Aren’t you happy about all those disgusting brown parasites he’s been eradicating? Just think of all that extra welfare that we be available for DaShawn, ShaQuita and their litters.

So, you replied to tell me you hate black people too?

This is my shocked face.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Everybody understands that.

They really don't. Pretend all you like.

You did a short lecture on simple economics then called us all idiots.

Yep. I did.

 

[22lcidw]

Another excuse. He's not giving back. He's taking jobs from people.

There are different types of employment. Government employment has the least amount of created secondary jobs from it. Manufacturing employment on the other side of the spectrum creates the most.

 

[BrokeLoser]

So, you replied to tell me you hate black people too?

This is my shocked face.

I love LEGIT black people…I hate that you recruit Mexico’s people to fuck them over.

 

[Mac1958]

You don't seem to grasp that some have a fucking problem with that.

It's the Stockholm Syndrome.

Definition: Stockholm syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where a hostage or victim develops positive feelings or emotional bonds with their captor or abuser, often as a coping mechanism in a traumatic situation.

Wealth disparity has now reached a level that no rational person should be able to defend it. And yet, there are many who will still protect people like Musk, even as he puts thousands of people out of work and destroys our institutions so that he can avoid higher taxation?

Would higher taxes on the wealthier people of the country be "fair"? No, it sure wouldn't. But we are simply beyond that now. We need to both carefully streamline government AND increase individual taxation on the top end.

At some point, people like Trump and Musk are not going to be able justify the damage they cause to most Americans so that they can multiply their fabulous wealth. At some point, the attention is going to turn to THEM. The question is how much damage will be done before that happens.
