If Elon Musk, the world’s richest man who made his fortune in part through government contracts, really wanted to help the government’s finances, he could simply agree to pay his fair share in taxes.

Or, I guess, he could fuck over kids with cancer.

Or charge the government less?

malakim2099.bsky.social•64 days ago

Maybe he thinks the kids with cancer are the ones that ratted him out to the Path of Exile 2 server admins.

Welp. He keeps a loaded gun by his bed. Next to a glass if scotch?.

Good decisions are ...

Just one "bad" shot away?

I think it is all part of the Afrikaner Nazi's playbook. He wants funding cut for those he considers weak: sick children, homeless, broken veterans, elderly, etc.

It is a page taken directly out of the Nazi plan to eliminate the weak and undesirable.

Increase taxes!!!

he couldn't possibly be a bigger arsehole if he tried. and that's not for lack of him trying, either.

If we want billionaires to pay a "fair share" of taxes, we need to change tax laws. To do that, we need to stop electing Republicans. Plain and simple. Until that happens, nothing changes.
The billionaires and millionaires are paying their taxes, the tax laws are just skewed to their benefit.

2spyc4u.bsky.social•64 days ago

It’s getting harder and harder to wait for karma to do it’s job😩

blankwillbur.bsky.social•64 days ago

He's a Nazi. I mean, really, what more needs to be said? Of course he wants kids with cancer to die, that's the Nazi way, letting "the weak" die.

chilicatsmom.bsky.social•64 days ago

Can we just agree that we don’t have to describe the he’s the richest man on earth? Or at least an acronym?

His head swells every time he hears that and my brain shrinks each time I read it.

snogg3.bsky.social•64 days ago

My TV has ad after ad of poor sick children with cancer who go to St. Jude's or other places. There should be a disclaimer during all those commercials that the Republicans have voted against funding them or aiding in their funding.

flypusher713.bsky.social•64 days ago

His BFF Donny2Scoops did the same.

lloyd-frombriz.bsky.social•64 days ago

I guess allowing violently mentally ill people free access to heavy duty machine guns they can use to slaughter children wasn't raising the body count fast enough.

stopfascism25.bsky.social•64 days ago

He refuses to pay his fair share of taxes on the billions he has which is our tax dollars!

Or maybe foresake all the govt money subsidizing his businesses and use his own money instead

daphe.bsky.social•64 days ago

Fortunately the bill passed separately but it wasn’t for lack of trying to sink it on Musks part …

We are now living through the paradigm of our own delusions about unrestrained capitalism. We could actually do something about this, like demand new laws for example. We should.

design3.bsky.social•64 days ago

DEMAND Musk show 20 years of IRS tax filings

since he is working as a government Agent

President Biden showed 20 years of Tax Filings

For a guy who wants so badly to be liked, he sure does everything he can to inspire hatred.

jenxthe1st.bsky.social•64 days ago

Isn’t it ironic that Republicans constantly critiquing the federal government for its “unelected bureaucrats” are totally cool with an unelected autocrat doing his best to run America into the ground?

judyblue007.bsky.social•64 days ago

Agree with both posts. Despicable human.

mindoctor.bsky.social•64 days ago

Or fund his on ventures without government grants.

elijah8817.bsky.social•64 days ago

Why don't St Jude's and Shriners go after him for big donations instead of the incessant ads on TV showcasing sick kids.

kbaldoni.bsky.social•64 days ago

Because people like him don’t want to”throw away money” except when it benefits him. It is a crime to be so wealthy while kids go to bed hungry all over the world

nickcummings.bsky.social•64 days ago

He’s literally the worst person in the world.

terryezell.bsky.social•64 days ago

Fucking over kids with cancer is also a Trumpian move.

robertfostermd.bsky.social•64 days ago

“MY megadollars are a very important part of government spending”
“Your money for research on children’s cancer is wasteful.”

suannelqr.bsky.social•64 days ago

Two things can happen to people when they accumulate enough money to never be deprived of anything again: such wealth either enhances their humanity, or extinguishes it.

(Please note this study has not been peer reviewed.)

ronbeiter.bsky.social•64 days ago

There is no bottom. Why do we continue to allow this?

wisnewski.bsky.social•64 days ago

Some perspective. If Elon personally paid the 190 million he wanted to cut from Children’s Cancer research, it would be the same as a person with one million in wealth contributing $450 dollars. Dollars. That’s how obscene his wealth is, how grotesque his greed is, how small his soul is.

designomatt.bsky.social•64 days ago

No one has really done research on how a guy whose main business was selling cars 10xed his wealth while a pandemic shut down the world - and the need for his one major product. He exited the pandemic as the wealthiest person in the world - how?

ni-wicked.bsky.social•64 days ago

It will haunt him one day

barbarabolstad.bsky.social•64 days ago

Jacob Marley should visit him this Christmas Eve!

For sure 😅

imchuckmiller.bsky.social•64 days ago

Fucking over gets much more attention. Punching down is great for maga cred

keithfromnyc.bsky.social•64 days ago

He could also lower the cost of his contracts.

cherime.bsky.social•64 days ago

Sick, greedy man.

mapp.bsky.social•64 days ago

Considering how he treats his own children, I'm not sure he considers them as something other than commodities.

cobbdouglas.bsky.social•64 days ago

It’s even worse than that. It’s between a tax *cut* for him or kids with cancer. He could have paid the same taxes, but that was too much to ask.

kerrypren.bsky.social•64 days ago

Or he could refuse government contracts and use his own money on his companies and probably get a tax deduction for much of it anyway. So why are taxpayers underwriting his businesses?

dpfrazier22.bsky.social•47 days ago

If I had his money, I would be helping so many charities and my country. How much money does one person have to have and what can you even do with it? You can’t take it with you.🔥Awaits him …

pravata.bsky.social•64 days ago

Guess which will happen

buckldbuttercup.bsky.social•64 days ago

That would be stellar

gopsux.bsky.social•64 days ago

Musk could also stop taking his gov subsidies

lisstless.bsky.social•64 days ago

Rich asshole takes fuck kids over instead of taxes for 1000 Kevin.

feduphoolie.bsky.social•64 days ago

Huh, via govt contracts. Just like Fred Trump.

feduphoolie.bsky.social•64 days ago

I got an idea... any of these wealthy wankers who wanna influence our government should have to sign a pre-nup like commitment. Any ideas of theirs don't pan out, they pay reparations.

kenhes.bsky.social•64 days ago

Proving he really doesn't care about "population decline".

barbarabolstad.bsky.social•64 days ago

Musk is a first class ghoul!

hulkling-she-her.bsky.social•64 days ago

and somehow they always choose to fuck over the kids

livingwillie.bsky.social•64 days ago

President Biden has the leverage to pull Musk gov contracts. Biden can rescind his contracts without congressional approval under certain circumstances. Republicans would do it in second, if it was a democrat.

birdydownunder.bsky.social•64 days ago

I guess the richest man in the world giving up the government subsidies wasn’t an option?

hazymoon14.bsky.social•63 days ago

Elon Musk is not a charitable person. His donations consistently fall short of what he is supposed to give, based on what he claims on his taxes. He donates to his foundation for the tax cut, then the foundation fails to give it out, and what it does give out. is to other musk controlled entities.

bongrippinbasher.bsky.social•64 days ago

Elon has so much money that the only way for him to feel like he has more is to make you have less.

He has never felt the sincere touch of a woman, so he pursues this.

mycatsarerocks.bsky.social•64 days ago

What if Musk donated half his wealth to support social programs in the government that help our children? Can you imagine the impact?

suedei.bsky.social•64 days ago

Elon could pay back the 1/2 billion government bailout he got with 30% interest, or we could take one of his government contracts and direct it to what he tried to cancel. I'm okay with either not fussed.

anxiousobserverhq.bsky.social•64 days ago

Rich enough to save lives, petty enough to ruin them. Villainy unmatched.

sumgirl.bsky.social•64 days ago

There’s something wrong with these men because decent ones would do exactly what you say.

mccabeagent.bsky.social•64 days ago

Or he could pay what we gave him back…

stephenbskysocial.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yep! The extent of their cruelty knows no bounds

dontinnovate.bsky.social•64 days ago

And, he took massive EV subsidies (selling EV credits and benefiting from EV vehicle subsidies)

da-zin-guy.bsky.social•64 days ago

government "contracts"

nearly all of which were first-of-their-kind subsidies

without which there would be no SpaceX and probably not a Tesla and certainly not a Starlink.

drgeophysics.bsky.social•64 days ago

Same as it ever was eh?

peculiarsusan.bsky.social•64 days ago

We’re talking about a person who uses his toddler son as a human shield.

niksnikki.bsky.social•64 days ago

Pretty sure it's because of the connection to puberty blockers 😩

schwester-esther.bsky.social•64 days ago

He got his money from children working in his father’s emerald mine and illegal bringing it in the US to sell them.

lin11c.bsky.social•64 days ago

Why doesn't Elon give 60 million to children's cancer research? That's less than what he paid to buy a Dotard Traitor and the US Congress. That's like a dime to him. He won't do it because he doesn't give a f*ck about anyone. 🤬

markprimmer.bsky.social•64 days ago

The wart of a human could have cured cancer for peanuts with his "wealth"...if he chose to do so...but the ego-fantasy of Mars seems more appealing to him...go figure.

rubecube12.bsky.social•64 days ago

He got what he wanted. That's why his tone changed so much. He doesn't have to answer questions about his Chinese investments. He doesn't have to divest his factories in China. That's what this was all about

just-shayna.bsky.social•64 days ago

Something tells me he’s going to keep doing the latter.

elisajstewart.bsky.social•64 days ago

Elon doesn’t make money off of kids with cancer. And there is no business prospect whatsoever if cancer is eradicated. Sad, hard truth. End Citizens United and end the depravity of the Elons of the world.

alanhowe.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yesterday, a whole bunch of Republicans on Capitol Hill voted against the fascist demagogue and Musk and Putin and their hope to wreak havoc on our government and our economy.

Now, tell me they won't do that again to end the threat from those three once and for all.

Get off bluesky and go back to the Twitter you ruined

donmanski.bsky.social•64 days ago

Think about what $190m is to that guy. It's about .ooo4% of his wealth. Or not even noticable amount of the budget just passed to affect a decimal point. I'm not even sure what they were trying to do by targeting it. The talking point alone can't have been worth it.

artemisprime.bsky.social•64 days ago

Elon Musk spent more on buying the election than he cut for pediatric cancer. Musk could have funded that entire program himself, easily. Instead, he’s claiming victory over kids with cancer.

foundout.bsky.social•64 days ago

Is the cancer funding also meant to be a dig at us for the UHC shooting?

cashhungwell.bsky.social•64 days ago

Everything he does is a dig at you.

Musk doesn’t want to help anyone he just has a great desire to be the richest man every but no matter how much money he has he is still the poorest being alive

tjbarney.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yes. They deserve to burn in hell.

konigthedog.bsky.social•64 days ago

I was shocked that it was only 190 million for pediatric cancer — billions for every interest group. Oh I guess I wasn’t shocked.
