I hope after the smoke clears and Trump is gone. That people like this jerk go to prison.
If he is in fact doing insider crypto trading. It won't be hidden forever
He bankrupted 6 businesses. That’s NOT a good business man. I’ve been in business for 25 years. Never went bankrupt. Always paid my bills, and never cheated on my husband with a porn star.
bro… the reason extremely rich people are rich is because they are wicked fucking boring and only obsess over making more money. They have a one track mind that can only focus on making the numbers go up.
Usually this should be true, yes. But looking at the facts of the case here and gesturing to the 4+ trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy and gutting of all business regulations, I'd say your reasoning is off this time, David.
There is a difference between "going into government" (which i interpret as becoming a civil servant/federal employee) vs being someone who secures government contracts. In the latter case, Elon is a contractor who already has billions in government contracts. And now uses his perch for more.
Those South Africans like to stick together, don't they-- assuming they like the 'cohort' they're in. In the 'experience' of everyone with a working brain, such people as he describes have 'never enough', and we can see that dynamic in action, right now.
When Trump says “Trust me,” he means “Trust me, or else.” He is a terrorist, and Democrats know it. If they won’t even call him what he is, they can’t help us.
They should be able to show us how each of these billionares divested, then, right? And it should be no problem to debunk the correlation between increases in wealth and the election or their appointments.
This is outdated- but you can only imagine recent oversized gains in politicians net worth as insider trading’s now done openly and with zero consequences
Meanwhile, our Congress members have stock portfolios that outperform the stock market on a consistent basis . . . But, yeah, sure ,they're "divesting."
Previously yes, It would have required divestment and disclosure, but this regime is not doing that.
Sacks basically pointing out what is grossly wrong here in his attempt to defend it.
Trump is nothing more than a grifter. A snake oil salesman. He doesn’t do anything unless he can make money off of it now he’s trying to get us to change from gold to crypto because he has huge investment in it. The idiots that voted for Trump should be ashamed.

Well serving in government SHOULD cause a disruption in business revenues, but Trump gained massive the first time and Elon is topping it right now with his StarLink contract and his supposed truck deal for the army (and other stuff).
What the heck did any Republican ever divest from? In living memory. I know Carter sold his peanut farm. But Trump just put his kids names on everything.
It would be very interesting to see the net worth of those n Congress before and after their tenure.
Think Mitch was a rich man before politics?
Or Vance?
Trump only went into politics cuz everything else was sinking.
He didn't expect to win he just wanted the publicity to strengthen brand value.
Nonsense! People like Elon Musk turn their activities in $$$$$! Even Big Balls makes a fortune (at least relative to what this guy would earn otherwise).
And call it what it is: Corruption!
It would be very interesting to have a look at every Congress person’s financial condition when they first enter congress and either after two terms or the end of their time in congress and see how much they’ve gained over that time.
There are more important things than $. Its just that to ppl like ball Sacks what is more important is the ability to stifle economic progress so other people cant make money thus inequality gap widens so the parasitic elite get to control, exploit&extort more aspects of the lives of everyday people
He's simultaneously bragging about being good and bad at business. On one hand, he's got to blow his "I'm a highly successfull businessman capable of meddling in government" horn, on the other he's got to let us know that it's actually really detrimental to his profits.
Didn’t Trump say last night that he’s getting rid of the green deal and Biden’s deal to bring electric cars into the future Trump said that Car makers will lose their jobs couldn’t they build electric car just like they build gas cars? Trump is an idiot
Some go into government bcs they think they can help.
Some go into government bcs they think they know everything about everything.
Others go in to government for the stock tips.
If that’s what he has learned it is probably because he’s lazy and stupid. Because Trump and Musk has certainly learned how to benefit from their positions
David needs to simply go and check “publicly available” data, whip out a notebook and calculator, and do some mathematical exercise to see if his assertion is backed by evidence. Likely not, but it’d be “lazy” of him to not even do that much leg work and find it out for himself. Just saying!
AND you are given free reign to cancel contracts worth $billions and replace them with your own - makes it more than worthwhile for the criminally rich.
No. No. tromp didn’t even sign the Ethics Code. The whole regime made $$ the first cycle & even more the last two months. If you are part of the regime & don’t increase your wealth it proves you may have integrity. Or no $$ sense.
Oh yeah I get it … like Trump put his real estate holdings into a blind trust before he took office? And don’t get me started on Trump shoes, fantasy token coins and NGTs.

FUCK TRUMP

This guy is lazy and disingenuous. His followers are stupid.
Sheesh, get with the program. It's not criminal when you make the law.
Except if you're Elon Musk, Donald Trump or any GOP Member of Congress....

WTF is he talking about?
Which one of his bosom buddies bothered to divest?
https://www.wired.com/story/people-paying-millions-donald-trump-mar-a-lago/
Bollocks!
You know. To let the rest of us get rich too.
And no, that is not a sign of "strength."
Stop with the narrative that these men are so rich they can't be corrupted.
There are examples of people who decided "what I have is enough, so I am going to give back."
This isn't that.
Wealth is not a sign of virtue.
-bankrupting multiple casinos
-failing a line of steaks
-fraudulent universities
Or does he mean having China bribe you through your real-estate instead of Russia having all of it?

TBF, about a 1/3 did vote for Trumpellina the Felon in Chief so they are partly right, but that doesn’t mean ALL the electorate are that dumb. 🙄
Divestiture? No one believes you, scammer
And call it what it is: Corruption!
He has put the US treasury up to support bit coins
ALL of it.
The only “divestment” is Musk losing billions because he threw up a “Roman salute”.
Yea, people tend to not support and invest in Nazis.
Some go into government bcs they think they know everything about everything.

We need a stronger phrase than “unprecedented” to get these fools to wake the F up!
