He's firing VA workers, nuclear scientists and all kinds of other vital service persons while hacking into our personal classified information (including medical information) just so billionaires can get $4.5 trillion in tax cuts that the US can't afford.

He's a despicable leech.

Well no wonder he's so giddy he talks like a sodden barfly. Or ketamine roach.

With Musk slurping from the public trough, his recent choice of the word "parasitic" springs to mind and seems apropos.

The 30b is bad enough, but it's also the multiplier effect the contracts bring, i.e. they elevate company value that flows directly to Elon's total wealth.

I wish there wasn’t a paywall. I’d share this on Facebook Will true believers who don’t think he’s stealing from them.

Use https://12ft.io. It’s a paywall killer. Works well.

His whole thing is exploiting the cheat code he discovered in US capitalism. Just promise something that's way far off but sounds somewhat plausible and really cool and there's no measure for how close we are to achieving it. Profit. Now, off to the next exploitation.
