I just had a debate on YouTube with a trumpster that defended musk and Trump. He claimed there is no end to the well doing of musk. «Just look at all the corruption he is finding.» I wonder what they have found that republicans can see but we can’t.

brittexkavi.bsky.social•10 days ago

That was a follow up question & there are no follow up questions in dumbass club. If backed in a corner, they will lie which can easily be disassembled hence why no fact checks in debates.

lindsaysmum.bsky.social•10 days ago

He's looking at individual income tax returns! How else would he know that a female govt employee on a moderate salary has acquired millions of dollars personally? And then assume it's theft or fraud, when it cd be an inheritance or lottery win? HUGE #PrivacyBreach!!!

They want the 50’s back. But if that’s really it they wouldn’t have to look further than the tax on the 5% richest. Increasing the tax on these to 1950 levels would do more than what musk is doing now for the economy. Way more.

bjorndal.net•10 days ago

In 1950 the wealthiest had to pay 91% top marginal tax on anything they earn above a certain limit. Today that’s 37% above $539k for single filers and $693k for those who is married. Bit of a difference that.

bjorndal.net•10 days ago

Exactly

mahaloka.bsky.social•10 days ago

I absolutely think this food should be released for aid. If he’s too selfish to do that, Americans should have access to that food.

To let it spoil is a new level of evil, to which there is not bottom for these deplorable government a-holes.

gmg8.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is horrific. There is zero reason this food should be wasted. It is the epitome of waste!

There’s a lot that can be done by programmers to analyze data, and the easy way is to put the data through AI.

But without accountability and transparency by Elon, you are right that it could be just by data mining.

I haven’t seen any evidence to justify taking away USAID.
