A point I don't see mentioned about Vivek wanting to cut subsidies to NGO's is the triple whammy to the AG sector would suffer between that, the tariffs, and the immigration policies killing their labor supply.
I'm old enough to remember when politicians and their minions weren't so blatant about their corruption... Not sure even Pepperidge Farm remembers that, though.
Without EV credits, carbon tax credits, Tesla would have gone out of business a long time ago. The irony of a guy who got rich off of the government subsidizing his business now wants to gut the government
He almost had my money and my 7500 rebate last July. I went to the dealer, set to take delivery in September. The next week I saw his announcement to endorse Trump. So he did not get mine. Drop X like a hot potato. Never buy a Tesla, quit Prime, Walmart, Home Depot and McDonalds cold turkey.
How long do you think Elon will last with another egomaniac at the helm? I think Elon will siphon all the money from the Federal Government that he can then be on his way. I don't understand this bromance? Help!
We already live in an oligarchy. We have just lived better than most citizens in other oligarchies. We’re getting to late stage and now they want to make us an evangelical theocracy as well.
The Oligarchy has been going on for Decades .
Corporate Bailouts are always favored over helping those who actually need it .
We've seen this attitude from both parties from the 1980s on .
We then get told it isn't financially feasible to actually help .
They lose billions and no one cares .
The Pentagon can't even account for 70+ Billion dollars annually .
Yet no audits.
Republicans are the worst when it comes to this .
Yet the Establishment Dems do it too .
That's why the Sanders movement scared them so much .
Eventually they'll have to listen to us .
People are finally waking up .
I’m quite confident Leon won’t let rules or regulations restrict his gaining significant wealth during trumpy bear’s time in office. In fact, I’ll make the bet that they all increase their wealth considerably while the rest of us lose ground. It’s a story old as time.
I’m wondering how this rich guy egomaniac bromance tug-of-war will play out between the T-Bag and his Raffle-away-the-Vote Funder? Will one of them be willing to cede power to the other?
Well, when these billionaire sponges stop siphoning money off the government in the form of subsidies and crank sales, I'm sure we'll all be better off. TAX THE RICH!
The oligarchy has won the war. We will become the serfs once again with Lord Elon of the High Council enforcing his will through AI brain implants. All heretics will be deported to Mars. Trump actually died 2 years ago choking on a Big Mac. He was easy to replicate.
Have asked many times is his role in DOGE a Conflict of Interest, i.e. an appearance of impropriety??
For Old Don and his MAGA cabal ethics are just suggestions..
That’s where the first government cuts SHOULD be - especially since we’re discussing removing ourselves from the Paris Agreement - and going back to fossil fuels. Don’t need any EV’s when we’re relying on gas.
We do need to cut fossil fuel subsidies - but Drumpfy is planning to eliminate the progress we’ve made by utilizing alternative energy sources - and go back to fossil fuels (yet again!).
He just proves how republicans get rich off of all these subsidies while they (republicans)rage against those (the poor) that need subsidies to survive.
SS and Medicare are essentially required savings plans, which I am personally thrilled about~how many of us working-class folks actually save funds for old age pensions and healthcare? This is money WE contribute. These are not "entitlements." WE EARNED THESE.
Social Security taxes stop once yearly income reaches $168,600, which means the more money you make, the less likely you are to contribute to SS, even though you will still get the benefits. Raise that income ceiling and SS would be repeatedly funded. All income earners should be paying into SS.
We are supposed to stand by and watch NASA lose any funding from the government, while Space X continues receiving tax payer money. No conflicts of interest here!! Corrupt in plain sight!! This is is gonna be a clusterf..k of epic proportions!! Tie them up in court for 2 years and vote them out!!
Has Musk become "too big to jail"?
His behavior during the campaign seems to indicate a bit of sociopathy, not to mention if it's true he was here working as an illegal immigrant, on an expired student VISA when he applied for an EB-5 permanent VISA path to citizenship.
Is he like the banks in 2007?
The idea of a private citizen who’s a recipient of government money, deciding how government money is allocated seems like it should be a conflict of interest at best.
Shameful. Our government should have never agreed to depend on an arrogant piss-head from a different country who was an illegal immigrant. Now he has promised to destroy our economy so that Trump's tariff economy can be setup.
This is all going to end up in one big massive fight between Drumpfy and anyone else who contradicts him. I suspect the first divorce court proceedings to be between Drumpfy and Elonia… should happen before Christmas from what I’ve read lately.
He already has - and he’s already acting like he’s president. Drumpfy (I believe last week) said he can’t get rid of him - and he’s always around.
The other issue is that he’s been using ketamine at Mar-A-Lago and is supposedly higher than a F* kite.
Let’s see if musk eschews his subsidies in favor of government spending..if not, why not? He’s just another Fat Leonard, remember him? Pentagons ransackers…😒
This talking point is being parrots in #solarenergy forums. Influencers and youtubers ignore the oil gas corporate subsidies. They advocate reversing #ira solar credits.

But now for Elon. He also wants to remove all regulations on his companies. He truly believes he is the only one who can save us and we should give him unbridled control of everything. I been saying this for 20 years now. The first time I met him I looked into his eyes, I saw this.
Choke that money pipe off. These MAGA Republicans just think that they can put their dirty fingers on the People’s Treasury and go crazy with the People’s money. Please 🙏 let us show them that they can’t do as they wish. We are not doing that cray 😜 cray 😜 stuff.
We need stronger laws on separating money from politics - elected officials and those in high government positions should not be receiving government contracts and funds, and should not be able to invest in individual stocks.
My prediction, they will empty the coffers into their own pockets. Maybe Project 2025 has been a smokescreen. Or, a way to set up the government to take what they want. With the cabinet picks, who will say no to him. Oligarchs didn’t get rich by tenacious hard work.

That would free up money for them!
The out of control, narcissistic billionaire swindler.
Lucky for us they don’t talk or think much together.

Spacex has contracts with the us government not subsidies.
Interesting 🤨
Thank you 🙏
For Old Don and his MAGA cabal ethics are just suggestions..
Just as Trump profited during his first term - demanding that govt officials used Trump properties for travel etc ..
Pence realized that when he went to UK .. Washington Hotel was stuffed w foreign guests vying to meet trump etc
Can we also now start calling the 🍊 💩, Rupert?
Media failed us 9 years Ang and continues to fail us now.
Musk will get a cutout for Tesla's made in China
Tesla has a factory in China called Gigafactory Shanghai, also known as Giga Shanghai or Gigafactory 3:

No money for you, but yes for me.

Being just one individual, how much are the many others receiving?

Gee, I hope they don’t wind up fighting. They’ll tear each other apart.
Is anyone taking bets?
It’ll be like ‘Ziggy Stardust’.
“He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's Band”
The other issue is that he’s been using ketamine at Mar-A-Lago and is supposedly higher than a F* kite.
