Boo-hoo. Bet they are beginning to have buyer's remorse. Might have been cheaper for them to have a President Harris, pay a little more in taxes and not be the absolute scourge of the 98%.
I haven’t spent a dime at Amazon since Jan 20, long ago deleted Meta apps, I’d rather push my EV than charge it at a supercharger and am done with target. It feels good to see the power we have to ruin these fucks.
There is ~7.4 trillion dollars in 401(k) money in the NYSE.
Think about that for a moment. If even half of that were moved out of the market and reallocated to bonds or T-bills, the whole thing would collapse, billionaires would cease to exist in large part in the US.
The old saggy balls has a lot more to loose.... keep up the boycott, protests, and pressure. @elonmusk can go fuck his own face, use trumps little penis... 💩💩💩
But that's why they need tax cuts. Only these billionaires can save us from this disaster that they caused.
However, they need just a few more billion and THEN they'll finally be able to really help people. No lies this time. Not like all the other times at all...
So how many liberal folks r gonna blame Dems when their SS ends due to budget shutdown? Eh? U want them 2 fight repubs? But elon will END SS and BLAME dems! R u too? Be on alert! B educated! ( historically govt shut downs DO NOT END SS& MEDICARE )
This is great. But lets not forget about the ongoing true constitutional crisis. This poor young man is currently STILL in an undisclosed location under extraordinary rendition. https://action.aclu.org/send-message/free-mahmoud-khalil
This graph made me smile. Well maybe not smile, but a side eye with a smirk? It’s like watching the playground bully once caught by a teacher, being dragged off the playground by the ear.
Be scared of their end game tho. After the crash smashes all the small people utterly, they’ll be the only ones still only slightly bruised. Will buy us up at pennies to the dollar.
It's great, but it does call into question why we count the dollar value of their wealth the way we do. Maybe there's a better metric?
It just seems like play-money when they go billions up and billions down in such a short span of time, and is disassociate from how we understand money.
That's exactly what I think. That's how failed shady businessmen operate. Our president is literally the ringleader for tanking his own businesses and scamming the people that work for him
Me too. I'm not providing free content anymore for a company that pushes out garbage and allows abuse now. I'm still stuck with Messenger and WhatsApp to reach many people, though.
I know- weirdly I think being an introvert helped bc I never built huge social networks online so it wasn’t hard for me of do. But I can see how difficult it would be for friends though.
Not yet. The U.S. Govt. is subsidizing every business he has. Tesla could go bankrupt and he wouldn't care. This is a totally different agenda we haven't seen since 1880's. McKinley. Tariffs. They would really love rolling back to the slavery thing, though. Everyone working for nothing.
He doesn't care about Twitter or Tesla. His Ketamine brain told him if he killed all federal funding, he could get to Mars. Is that insane? Of course, it is, but that is exactly where we are. Trump is defecating in diapers, and the media remains silent.
The legacy media remains silenced. Independent media still trying. And good old Laurence O’Donnell is still calling out the insanity. https://youtu.be/n804BwrNwQo
I have a degree in Journalism, which my WWII veteran paid for out of pocket with his Ironworker union wages. I was News Director and Anchor. FOX, and corporately owned news has given us Trump. It's pure propaganda. Local news is pathetic. No wonder they vote R. They are not informed.
The Government is subsidizing Twitter Indirectly?!! How could it be legal for the government to run a for- profit social media platform? Oh wait. Legal doesn’t matter anymore. I keep forgetting. We’re moving TOWARDS privatization of everything. That means no public protections. No worker rights.
They're stealing more money from elsewhere. Don't think they would be dump to be on team trump if they didn't know it would make them richer fast. However, in the long run when the good guys win they will lose.
I'd like to say this would make ELON unhappy, but likely through prior sales and HIS future outlook, he is doing OK, still up $71 over the past whole year, so post-inauguration hasn't done enough damage.
They might be losing billions, but if this freak show puts the ordinary American under the thumb of these sadists, with no options and no hope to regain control of their lives, that's the real wealth.
Absolute power, that's worth billions to these freaks.
That's that's cancers do. That's what termites do. I'm hoping that daylight is starting to break through the clouded American brains! brains. More importantly, Wall St & the
🔥 THE TRUMP CRASH 🔥
Elon Musk lost $148B since Trump’s inauguration — Tesla down 48%! Bezos, Brin, and Zuckerberg also taking massive hits. Trump’s chaos is tanking the economy — and billionaires are paying the price.
He’s destroying the economy — this is how authoritarian regimes tighten control.
Those shmucks chose poorly. They did not have to fall in line but they did. Trump could not care less if they went broke and would dismiss them in a heartbeat.
I don’t think “trust” is why they “donated”. I think it’s more like a money laundering/transnational crime syndicate thing thing. Maybe it’s like dues to keep the administration & Putin/MBS/Bibi off their backs. And/or maybe they want their own fiefdoms after sovereign nation borders are redrawn?
I was just thinking…
is there any form of rule over people more patriarchal than mafia states? Even monarchies sometimes allow queens to rule. I’ve never heard of female mob bosses. No “Godmothers”.
What these tech billionaires and Republicans are doing to destroy democracy is really sickening.
This is looking at it the wrong way. They don't care. Trump is effectively eliminating all taxes for them and their profit margins are going way up since all government regulations gone. So they can relax, keep the light on at their companies, yet still take home more money than before.
It doesn't matter how much he's "lost". What matters is how much he still has. At his level of obscene wealth, he could lose 75% or more of his fortune and it wouldn't change his life. He'd still be in the top 0.1%.
They forgot that we made them and we can take them down too!
We can do much more!
Buy local, buy from farmer’s markets and save, save, save! If Elon privatizes social security, you’re going to need more for retirement.
This is an old playbook!
The Nazi Party destroyed the Weimar Constitution of Germany through a series of actions that began in 1933 and continued until the end of World War II.
The Nazis used the constitution's weaknesses to establish a dictatorship led by Adolf Hitler.
Don’t blink!
US pop. over 18 is 270 million voters.
(Wealthy Germans) began funding Hitler and the Nazi during the early 30s!
Hitler suppressed leftist movements, the press, the courts, and the mind of the German people!
We can do better!
Would be useful if not for the fact they are working on 4.5 trillion dollars in continued tax cuts for their fellow billionaires...
These numbers are pocket change in comparison...
To put it in understandable amounts
Would you invest a dollar today, to get back 100 dollars every year going forward?

No one needs that much wealth. No one.
They're all such nice guys...
We can’t let up America. Keep pressing.

was “granted”
$44,000,000,000. 44 billion
- let that sink in.
Wealth does not mean brilliance - “Bernie Madoff”
Twitter -80% of its value since he bought it. Tesla 800 billion loss since buying it
We can do better.
LFG!
A video that so accurately captures the rape of America zeitgeist!
With music from Childish Gambino!
Enjoy!

Also they’re picking off all the potential opportunities to privatize government functions. We are witnessing the TRUE corporatization of USA.
People forget that part.
Yay!
[Looks at retirement]
Motherfuckers!
just wait :((((

Come on people, you can do better!
I left all Meta platforms as well as Twitter on 20th of January.

Something is broken.
The only way to save our Democratic Republic is to crash them all.
And we can do better

Although I am not happy with my meager retirement account shrinking.
It helps to see this, so thanks for posting!

Eh...
American oligarchs are buying protection.

I thought we were taking this seriously, like the future depended on it?

And so do most Americans.
That’s a bare minimum.
