Now That Musk's a Trillionaire, He Can Help Trump!

[HikerGuy83]

I'm not a trillionaire.

Musk is.

You didn't answer my question.

Are you helping?

I bought in on SPCX stock, when the rockets land on the moon and then Mars, could be great things in my portfolio.

I thought about it but then after .1 second came to my senses. Betting against.

It's funny Musk's employees pay a way higher percentage of federal income taxes than Musk, who some years, pays absolutely ZERO.

assuming that fantasy were true, where do his employees get their money?

 

[HikerGuy83]

Leave your family out of this.

Insulting someone's family is against the board rules.

You might think you are clever, but you are really just an asshole.

[HikerGuy83]

That's been my whole point all along!

Thank you!

Like any good leftist.

Of course, it's not like he or Bill Gates could not have helped them before.

But help really isn't your main point. You are just displaying your jealousy at someone's wealth.

Musk's is a tale of an African-American who made good.

Funny how Trump has no problem using the money of others, we the tax payer, to pay off his friends for helping him with his illegal attempt to steal the 2020 election....

Funny how you guys just can't let go of a 6-year-old meme that more stupid today than when you first pushed it.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Stop sharing your fantasies with us.

What meme? I don't do memes....they are for users with no ability or desire to actually debate.

It is absolutely true. Musk and other billionaires like him do not make money off their income, hence why raising income taxes on their ilk would be absolutely pointless. The wealth tax circumvents this and taxes them a modest 5% max on all their assets. What I find funny are all the rubes and bootlickers in here fighting this plan to make billionaires pay their fair share. Yall are born serfs.

How Elon Musk Benefits the Average Person​

Elon Musk’s business empire — including Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and xAI — has had a tangible impact on the average person through jobs, wages, taxes, and supply chain investments.

1. Job creation and wages
Over the past five years (2021–2025), Musk’s companies paid $110.7 billion in salaries, enough to give every resident of Los Angeles about $27,000 BBX. Tesla alone directly employs over 110,000 people and supports around 500,000 indirect jobs via its supply chain GameOfJobs.org. Average Tesla salaries are about $160,000, enabling employees to live comfortably and spend money locally, which boosts small businesses and housing markets.

2. Tax contributions
Employees in Musk’s companies have paid $31.8 billion in personal income and payroll taxes, equivalent to funding NASA’s budget twice BBX. At the corporate level, despite tax incentives, these companies paid $5.2 billion in corporate income taxes plus about $9 billion in employer payroll taxes BBX. These funds support public services like education, infrastructure, and social security.

3. Supply chain and manufacturing support
Tesla procured $166 billion in U.S.-made batteries, chips, and steel, benefiting manufacturers in Michigan, Nevada, and other states BBX. SpaceX also follows a “Made in America” procurement model, spending $7 billion on domestic suppliers BBX. This strengthens local economies and keeps production jobs in the U.S.

4. Economic multiplier effect
When Musk’s employees spend their wages, the economic impact is amplified — for every $1 spent, the ripple effect can generate $1.50–$2 in additional economic activity BBX. This means higher wages and tax revenues also stimulate broader economic growth.

5. Innovation and infrastructure
Through Tesla’s electric vehicles, SpaceX’s Starlink internet, and The Boring Company’s transit projects, Musk’s ventures are expanding access to clean energy, high-speed internet, and transportation solutions — benefits that can improve quality of life and reduce costs for consumers.

In summary: Musk’s companies provide the average person with higher-paying jobs, stronger local economies, public funding for essential services, and access to cutting-edge technology and infrastructure. While his wealth is immense — over $1 trillion as of 2026 Wikipedia — the economic ripple effects from his ventures have created real opportunities and benefits for millions of Americans.

All you have to do is amend the Constitution.

Interesting that the people in Congress who over the decades have run up trillions in debt and yes this has been under both parties think that the one trillionaire Musk should pay them more in taxes. Maybe millionaires, billionaires and even the one trillionaire would be willing to pay more in taxes if Congress did not consistently show when it comes handling money, they are dumbest most incompetent people in the country.

Tomorrow.

Birtherism was created by Hillary's team. Figures you don't understand how that happened.

Maybe, but you guys totally own the "Michelle Obama is a man" thing, as exemplified by your UFC heroes.

So if not for the birtherism thing, you all lose credibility on the "Michelle Obama is a man" thing.
