Been cashing gov’t checks forever to keep his hypothetical riches afloat. Seems he’s the waste, fraud and abuse he’s been digging around looking for

Gotta wonder if that “Big Beautiful” massively expensive, SpaceX-focused Golden Dome will be protecting anything of value, once Trump/Musk are done demolishing the gov’t, culture and history of the U.S.

Pure corruption

Apparently it's "winning."

It's only corruption and illegal if Democrats do it. Otherwise it's good business.

It was never about cutting spending -spending is increasing.

It was about concentrating and diverting spending.

Michael Jordan is listening to Elon saying that we need to eliminate core public services and realizing that his Fuck Them Kids meme might make a comeback.

Is this the part where we mockingly point out their hypocrisy as if they care and they continue to rob us and enrich themselves?

Former NASA people made SpaceX what it is, and some still work at Elon’s company in key roles. They and their coworkers should be fvcking publicly shamed at this point for basically expanding their work and enriching themselves using money they seized from the rest of American scientific research 🔥

He has to wear the hat to get more gov funds.
