Destroy Putin

They are desperate to defund every agency they can get their grimy hands on because soon the tax cuts expire for his wealthy pals. Don't for a minute think this is for the countries benefit. It is not.

Geez, no conflict of interest there, right?

And he thinks I shouldn't get my 600 dollars a month SS

noeylaurie.bsky.social•94 days ago

Overall, I read in four sources that he has received 20 BILLION dollars from tax payers. To blow up rockets.

Welfare to the richest man in the world.
Tax breaks for the Rich & corporations is welfare.
But give food stamps or housing assistance to a struggling single mother with 3 kids, is a bridge too far for Republicans. 🤬!
Wake the F-up America.!

He's on a rampage. He's going to get his money one way or another. Read this:

You know who a hero of the Federal resistance would be? The person who slow-walks SpaceX and Starlink invoices or changes a number or two in the accounts payable. Or misplaces the active contracts. Consistently.

But subsidised health care is impossible .. only every other country has managed it 🤪

Not surprised. "Cutting waste" in healthcare and USAID, taking from the poor and MAGAs cheer on him. What do they want to shovel all the money for? Whats more waste: healthcare or launching rockets?? He will use lot's of the money to get more contracts and money. And waste it on rockets.

Sources?

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•73 days ago

It’s up to $3.7B just for 2024 https://abcnews.go.com/US/musk-works-slash-federal-spending-firms-received-billions/story?id=118589121

SpaceX receives $13.1B. Subsidies, govt contracts….Elmo got $3B for a DEI NASA project

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•94 days ago

I stated just the last 12 months. I’m sure in total it’s 13.1B or more

southpawjc.bsky.social•94 days ago

Wasn’t criticizing Seb. It’s stunning how much he’s gotten

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•94 days ago

I know you made me curious. So I’m going to look it up now

southpawjc.bsky.social•94 days ago

This cnn business article lays it out. Little different numbers than what I saw yesterday but goes more in depth on subsidies, energy credits etc

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/11/20/business/elon-musk-wealth-government-help

southpawjc.bsky.social•94 days ago

Looked it up yesterday. $13.1B to sissy SpaceX and like $3.1B to Tesla. Tesla is completely tanking right now and that’s his main source of wealth.

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•94 days ago

Seems like we’re paying him to go to the moon again. Maybe he should go and take Trump with him.

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•94 days ago

I found $20B in the past 16 years

southpawjc.bsky.social•94 days ago

The table I saw was last 10 yrs. I just put up an article from cnn saying $20B. I honestly don’t think anyone knows the full extent of what he’s received and that’s scary.

playthrough.bsky.social•94 days ago

I continue to be fascinated by the idea that Musk has any money at all. His wealth is tied entirely to a meme stock of a fake car company with no growth and essentially no profits that is valued like some amazing futuristic tech company. Of course it has no tech products. Owns a president though.

sulik2.bsky.social•94 days ago

Look Musk in an ass clown, but before shitting on SpaceX you might want to do some research & understand how much of a technical lead they have on any other rocket company in the world, their ability to launch faster, cheaper, per rocket and per kg, and the complete disaster of NASA's SLS program.

quebedox.bsky.social•93 days ago

And they have proven themselves incapable of the most basic data security protocols required of government contractors.

We have to hurt their pockets. Thats a big start.

And now he wants to have a personal stake in the running (ruining) of the country out of sheer greed!

valerair.bsky.social•94 days ago

A lot of subsidies

valerair.bsky.social•94 days ago

Supported.

fairhairdodare.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s interesting that billionaires like Musk are so emphatic in defending a minimum State, cutting public politics that may ease people’s life, but they all have a subsidie to their businesses, and full argumentation to defend it.

gratefulcoach.bsky.social•94 days ago

Is it defending a minimum state, or defunding the state so that he and his buddies can get richer and more powerful?

fairhairdodare.bsky.social•93 days ago

That’s the point they defend the minimum State for the people in general so they can have a full welfare-state for their business. It’s like they’re trying to invert the class war, like their businesses are the ones exploited by their employees, and workers in general.

fairhairdodare.bsky.social•93 days ago

* “cutting public POLICIES”, line 3.
