When did Elon Musk become the founder of Tesla??? Please CNN. Be journalists pand stick with facts. He was not even an investor when Tesla was founded!
What does he honestly own that should be seen as more valuable with a Trump admin in charge? They're anti pretty much all of the things his company does.
Elon predicts USA economy will crash without crypto. Then joins government to make sure they expedite the process so he can say he was right about his prediction. He’s doing everything in his power to destabilise the US economy.
Shocker. Oligarch that spends hundreds of millions to have massive influence over the government that pays billions to keep SpaceX running and subsidized Tesla with billions is going to do better.
Well, it looks like he’s definitely in a panic, for some reason or another. what pisses me off is that our tax dollars have subsidized SpaceX along with $13.5 billion since 03. He pays 3.27% tax rate & paid no federal taxes in 2018. It should be fucking criminal.
The next four years will mark the greatest shift of wealth from the poor to the one percent in decades.....Donald Trump is preparing to improverish America...and they fell for it....
As he acquired everything else. He’s a billionaire only because he bought other people’s ideas and products with a couple of experts behind it to pitch it to the more rich and famous.
Hilarious! Republicans willingly give control of our government to a foreigner because he said he supports free speech. They are so easy to grift. No wonder trump sells them trading cards lololol
In personal terms, once past a certain level of wealth then money becomes meaningless. The danger is that this level of wealth allows the faster "hoovering up" of more companies & thus more wealth & power. Add that to political power now & we're looking at having to live under one persons ideology
Yes, the main turn on for psychopathic power isn't so much the money in itself, but that the money allows power over others eg employees or politically.
The ultimate expression of power over someone is via sexual aggression/rape, so it's unsurprising many of these people also tick that box
My fear exactly, Guy. As the country turns more red, and people move from blue states to red states and thus increase their population and electoral votes we could see two terms of JD Vance after Trump. Especially if Trump secures the border. What a mess. 🙁
I think the best we can hope for is there is so much instability, infighting, and incompetence, it slows down the bulk of what they will attempt to do.
I’m not 100% convinced Big Orange is going to make it through his full first term. His cognitive decline is apparent, and I say that without malice. Either Vance will invoke the 25th at some point, or he’s going to be a figurehead they wheel out from time to time while someone else makes decisions.
He becomes more and more unlikeable every day, and shown himself to be a die hard white supremacist. I like to believe that this will eventually lead to the majority of people ostracizing him and his companies, but I realize that's probably just wishful thinking.
While we worry so much about the migrants taking over the black jobs… but forget that without corporate welfare, our tax subsidized loans, the immigrant Elon wouldn’t have been this rich!
It has been a gut punch to millions of Americans and others. The 90 million who did NOT vote set the stage or this 4 year nightmare and they will OWN their part in the negative impact a BROKEN 45 WH OCCUPATION will have.
DJT and his progeny will escalate their GRIFT on the backs of disenfranchised.
And to all the middle-class and poor people naive enough to vote for Trump, especially Afro-American, Latinos and women of course, thinking he would do good for them, I
say: “Not a chance in hell, he couldn’t care less about you”!
We need to make politics a bad business strategy. Too many lobbyists and kickbacks and favorable policies give outsized returns on investment. When you make more money in politics than actual business, you’re an unelected politician, not a businessman.
I will add though - you're bang on when you say this will be treated as a game for Musk, since he is now personally in a position to pass legislation to influence the share price of his own company. It's a massive conflict of interest, and should never be allowed to happen.
Ultimately it's value went up because a lot of people began buying Tesla shares all at once - this is based on the current CEO now being a member of the governing party of the largest economy on the planet. Is it a sure thing? No. But I wouldn't say it's based on nothing.
A large group of capitalists was replaced by one oligarch who controls the president. Is this definitely about the US, and not about the birthplace of this oligarch?
Musk contributed $132 million to get Trump elected, and is now seeming to run the show. It took Musk all of 19 minutes to recoup his $132 million. 1st report was that his net worth increased by $70b, ($7m per minute) over 1st 10 days post election.
Our democracy was sold for Elon's chump change.
This is why Twitter losing value never bothered Musk. He will now use it full on as a Trump propaganda vehicle singling out perceived enemies and subjecting them to his army of willing trolls and bots.

But that is not true. Hitler could speak and write in complete sentences. Trump often doesn't.
Complete sentences are for liberals.
‘ridiculous’.
Any 2nd amendment folks out there!
Didn't trump say that??
Worth repeating!!
Elon Musk is not worth a sack of rotten potatoes. Truly.

Why lead America in an official capacity when you can just buy it it outright?
This election was our last chance to reject these people, and America was like “More please” instead.
DJT and his progeny will escalate their GRIFT on the backs of disenfranchised.
😣
HIS X IS JUST SPREADING FASCIST PROPAGANDA!
ALL 750 000 000 EUROPEANS HATE ELON MUSK !
BAN X IN EUROPE!
say: “Not a chance in hell, he couldn’t care less about you”!
Spacex? Failing
Twitter? Failing
Tesla? Failing
Cybertruck? Literally shit cars
Whatever money he claims to be making is clearly a result of government subsidies only, and the mirage will not last.
