My thoughts on Elon Musk

[kyzr]

Why? Slaveholders don't pay.

We don't have any slave holders like in South Afrika.

If your slaveholders should really pay a lot of money and your workers should really work then all goods will become more expensive in the USA - while outside of the USA you will be able to buy the same goods much cheaper.

You are not factoring in AI, robotics, and cheap energy.

Interesting idea - but where is the substance of this idea?

The "substance" is the revenue generated by new tariffs, approximately $500b a year.

Tariffs are a headache but have a surprise upshot: the U.S. is raking in billions more than expected

Importers stocking up ahead of even-higher levies have given an unexpected boost to the U.S. Treasury.

"Over the next decade, Penn-Wharton projects the U.S. will gain $5.1 trillion in revenue. Even if all that money went to paying down the deficit, however, Smetters suggests it would be an economic loss for the country."

Your boy was the one who was responsible for updating the FAA system.

How'd that work out?

what “my boy”? wtf are you talking about and how does it absolve Trump doing something during his last administration?

It wasn't His program and should have been continued from when your boy signed off on it.

Going to Mars because the earth may be uninhabitable in a few billion years is personal project that no one should have ever given him money for.

Again, your opinions mean nothing. The people running those government agencies decided to contract out work and services to him.
And again he provided those services and work.
Do you have any proof that he nefariously diverted tax payer money for his own personal projects?
Remember, your opinions are not proof.
Also, you don't get to go to Mars now.

Dummy thats just another way of saying that Musk's companies receive gov dollars - which is A FACT.

Dummy, it was stated that Musk was diverting tax payer funds into his own personal projects.
These agencies contracted work and services out and he was awarded the contracted work/services.
He successfully completed the work/services.
If the government awards you a contract and you perform the duties of said contract does that mean you are taking money for your own personal projects.
Again, quit beating the same ignorant horse and try to stay on topic.

Elon is a looter. That’s the bottom line. Reread Atlas Shrugged.

I disagree.

If you say so. I saw little to no real evidence of your claims. The previous administration also didn't task incompetent goons to 'fix' govt waste and inefficiency, screw around with tariffs to raise inflation higher, and rule by EOs because of a Congress that won't work with the executive even when they have a majority. In a nutshell, disaster administration 2.0 is going as predicted: they suck out loud.

Congratulations?

Idiots, all.

Nobody cares if you disagree
Pulling back the money laundering, and grift of usaid was major accomplishment in and of itself.
Again, the only thing cackles and cornpop did was increase the money laundering and blow up inflation.

Trump’s middle name is grift. He launders crypto cash into his own personal wallet on a daily basis.

That is a strong claim.
Again, do you have any proof!

You didn’t hear about the pay-to-play crypto dinner? Bone up on the news before you post, please.

So dinner equals proof of something?

So only conspiracies.
Ok then.

Just blurt out "Maga lies".
You just keep proving my point.

Sorry, I don't speak stupid.

I don't know who "your boy" is, I don't know what he "signed off" and I have no idea how that does anythying to absolve Trump from doing something about FAA's problems with aging systems in the 4 years that he was a president.

Get your thoughts togather, post something coherent.

DOGE is making major changes to the federal government. Is it legal?​

What is DOGE and what does it do? An explainer as Trump, Musk make changes

The new Department of Government Efficiency, President Donald Trump’s special commission tasked with slashing federal spending, has formally joined the government whose size it is supposed to help shrink. So what exactly does the department do and what role will it play?

What was fomulated under Obama AS IT RELATES TO FAA PROBLEMS and which presidents should be held responsible for them?

Stop posting A.D.D. garbage and try to understand the context of the discussion

Nobody cares about your goofy opinion.
Since you've got zero proof of money laundering/grift, this is all stuff you've been conditioned to believe.
