Musk says the poor are leeches

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I worked all my life. In the 1950,s a man could work, wife stay home and take care of family, and he could buy a house, food, car, etc and still have a bank account. Then Greed took control.

Greed? Was it greed when I studied, joined the military, went to college on a scholarship, served years away from my family and friends at sea only to be forced out of the military and then become a public school teacher at half my previous pay rate? Was it greed when I worked a full day and then attended graduate school at night to seek advancement and higher pay? Was it greed when the state threatened my meager retirement and forced me to retire early and find another job? Was it greed that forced me to sell my home so I could survive on the proceeds along with my reduced SS and small retirement? Was it greed that forced me to no longer live in my own home and live with my daughter and take care of her house?

The short answer is "No!" It was not greed, but hard work and sacrifice to get me where I am.

No one needs billions while others live in the street. No sports star deserves 50-60 million a year, while others put their heart into their jobs for minimum wage.

Why are they working for minimum wage?

They have no skills to make them worth anything.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

One shouldn't have to work 2 jobs to get by.

One should have the skills to work a single job that pays a living wage.

Says the man yho was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and never once had to worry about how he might pay his bills.

If the pattern of reckless mismanagement and chaos creating that Musk is now on continues, he’ll need his DOGE storm troopers to protect his government subsidies and contracts.

Yeah I don’t have an answer issue with billionaire

My issue is with demafasict that want to take my money, oppress me, and ruin our economy

The poor don't hurt an economy. There's millions upon millions of poor people working full time. Welcome to "great"

It's great that people are working! I don't disagree, that working class, working poor etc are hurting our economy.

A great work ethic gives a person only a slight chance of doing well.

Musk referred to Americans who use federal programs as the 'Parasite Class.’

Musk is a typical conservative, far from alone among the right who propagate such a hateful lie.

He's correct.

It's the best chance. Still, there are millions of people who are dedicated to their work and yet work for small wages. When I worked as Christmas help at Macys (back when they still did that), many of the permenant people there had been there 20 years and were making just above minimum wage.

I am rich beyond what money can buy because by the grace of God, I am still alive and kicking.

Yes i am as well= the true knowledge of God=worth more than all the money wealth combined on Gods Earth.

I say the ultra rich who already have enough to live 1000 lifetimes, and who keep on sucking every dime they can get out of economy's, careless about the country or its people. These are the real leeches.

FAKE NEWS ALERT!!!!!

Snopey Dopey! Let's fact check the "fact checkers", shall we?

Snopes' headline screams "

Yes, Musk reposted meme calling Americans who use federal programs the 'Parasite Class'​

However, that is a lie. The post that Elon reposted did NOT call Americans who use federal programs the "parasite class" or insinuate that in any way shape or form.

The FACT of the matter is that the post does not even mention "Americans who use federal programs". Snopes writer Taija PerryCook just assumed that that is who he was talking about.

SHE is the one calling them the parasite class and she is trying to project her own feelings onto Elon Musk.


Looks like you got tricked by a fake "fact checker". You really should try to work on your critical thinking and reading comprehension skills so shit sucking scoundrels such as Taija PerryCook don't play you like a fool so easily.

Musk is worth 400 billion-that is 400,000 million-enough for 1 million per usa person plus he would still be a multi millionaire. That would take love, that is what is lacking.

It takes love to give your earnings to strangers?

How much have you given?

 

[Jarlaxle]

How do you not understand Musk was not talking about poor people?

Because he is stupid, lying, or both.

Both.
