Musk's fortune consists of $38 billion in government contracts. Cancel them all.

“Elon Musk and his cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service team have been on a mission to trim government largesse. Yet Musk is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ coffers.

Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.”

Let’s have some real savings and cut Musk off completely.

If anything is illegal it will be cut off.
But Musk wasn't part of the cult taking kickbacks......

Do you know how much SpaceX has cut the cost of space travel compared to NASA or any other company ? SpaceX also has the contract to deorbit the ISS. Musk's company is better and cheaper than anyone else. That's why they are getting these contacts.

After the Obama administration cut the Space Shuttle program we relied on the Russians to put cargo and our Astronauts into space. Who do you loons hate more Russia or Musk.

jones dont care about that.....for him and those with his mind set its party over country...jones is a hypocrite....

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Musk.

You want to give the Russians tax payer money to use their rockets ? SpaceX's does it cheaper and better than anyone else.

Sigh, but then again just look at the OP.

A misjudged suggestion .Going down hill rapidly .
We had the misfortune to meet her at a recent health event for the elderly and disadvantaged .
Her left side stroke paralysis has worsened and she tragically farts chronically , albeit unintentionally .
One of the side effects of being addicted to Ozempic .
We call her the Fat Old Fart which is bit cruel but you have not been privy to the smell .

Who is going to launch our cargo and astronauts into space ?

moon will get high and personally take them there....

$42 Million Johns Hopkins Research and Drive Social Change in Uganda.

-$20M for Fiscal Federalism in Nepal

$422M for improving Political Process in Moldova

$21M for Voter Turnout in India

$2.3M for Strengthening Independent Voices in Cambodia

You just hate it when the white man succeeds.

 

[wamose]

What ? You do know that the Fed gave Russia over 3 billion dollars in tax payer money to send our cargo and astronauts into space after Obama cut the Shuttle program ?

I'm on your side. Too bad we don't have more Elon Musks.

Awww. Aren't you cute?

The world is a better place with a strong US. That makes Trump and Musk not only the MVPs of America, but the MVPs of the world.

Yes, the world is a better place with a strong US.

But Trump is openly betraying out allies on the world stage, and shamefully kowtowing to the Russian dictator.

His neo facism is in plain sight for the world to see,

None of these things make the US stronger.

And they certainly do not make up the MVP's of the world.

Quite the opposite. The American president is a feckless coward, comfortable with betrayal.

No world leader trusts him at all. They only take him seriously because of the office he holds.

They know Trump's word is worthless.

He is far from being the MVP of the world. All he has is chest beating, bullying and empty threats. Increasingly he is being put on global ignore.

Why don't you email Trump at the White House and suggest it?

Having cargo and astronauts in space is not mission critical to the country.

Our country supports democracy and democratic institutions around the world.

I can see why that would upset the authoritarians.

Why wait 5 years? Do it now. We’re just wasting money on it.

Musk can go to the moon and mars if he wants. I don’t care. Leave the taxpayer out of it.
