Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk was just awarded a $5.9 billion taxpayer-funded SpaceX contract by Trump—the largest in a new package of space deals. Trump ensured Musk got the money, fully aware he’s facing “steep personal cost.”

Also, BYD is cleaning Tesla's clock around the world... BYD has better technology, better driver assistance, better charging technology, superior batteries, and more efficient manufacturing leading to lower prices.
Only in the US due to the US tariffs on Chinese EVs does Tesla lead the EV industry.
And he and T2.0 are treating our federal agencies and government like they’re own little privately owned playground with XERO accountability as they dismantle special education, teacher grants, libraries, food banks, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid…no monitors and zero accountability
He has cost this country at least $10 million a week and received hundreds of BILLIONS in contracts AND HE WILL BENEFIT FROM THE TAX CUTS. His "businesses" are all subsidized by taxpayer dollars. He has not saved the country one penny.
Just like last time Trump said he'd work for free while talking golf junkets every weekend and charging huge rates to the govt entourage staying at his hotels.
Blatant, in your face, shameless corruption!!! About $300 million invested with $5.9 billion return on the investment and all payed for by the American taxpayers! I wonder what returns there will be for the other corrupt oligarchs surrounding the con-man in chief!
If only we had an unbiased DOJ that would prosecute federal conflicts of interest. fElon, a special govt employee, is blatantly, with endorsement from tRump, financially benefiting by DOGE cuts as proven by his company (ies) becoming the contractor to replace what was cut.
1. destroy the infrastructure
2. destroy the economy
3. OH, the country needs stuff done, gee.... we'd better let the private sector handle it.
4. But to whom can we turn in our time of need?
4. OH! Let's let Elon do it and pay him whatever he wants
Lining their pockets while firing 10’s of thousands of good, hardworking patriots. On top of this, the idiot in charge is destroying people’s retirement savings, dismantling social security and Medicare, and spends every weekend golfing like everything is going great.
A complete POS.
I love space science too, but not never at the expense of starving kids & seniors, measles, TB and bird flu... And the increasing weather related damage to people, animals and property.
And I definitely don't want to give it to Elon
Would be happier seeing this money go to some sort of publicly funded space exploration program, maybe a National Space Agency of sorts. If only such a thing existed 🤔
Awarded how? I have to fill out a hundred pages of documents to get a $50,000 project and demonstrate my savings. WTAF is wrong with congress? That last part was rhetorical
These spaceships are going nowhere. This is the biggest heist we have ever seen. The sheer psychopathy of it is staggering. Do NOT stop following the money. It's YOURS! Claim it back and let's keep this planet alive.
Thats a deep question. Answer may begin with him funding politicians, threatening judges, and having military and the entire X media audience in his control. Also suspect he hacked swing state ballots for Trump. Why? Because he could and Trump said so!
Is Erik Prince set to scoop up contracts for Blackwater where ICE doesn’t go? Privatizing the deportation and detention camp industry. Most Americans don’t even know about Federal Prison Industries…unless you wear the military uniforms they sew and package.
The GOP Congress has the power. THEY are the true traitors of our country and Constitution. THEY can stop the clown. Hopefully, people will remember that for generations to come. We will have to claw it all back once they are in prison.
THIS. Congress can stop
ALL of this insanity, and it is their SWORN ROLE to do so. They are violating their oaths of office and either need to do their jobs, or face the consequences.
OH so this is his payoff money... his golden parachute let's hope. Still obscene and should be illegal--but if gets him (and his DOGE idiots) out of our government.... ya' think Trump would take something like this and a guarantee that he will win every golf game he plays thru eternity to get lost?
Please share your stats with @indivisible.org. I saw something from them that said 400,000. Would love for your stats to be the ones that are real. Power to the people!
Hoping SpaceX and Starlink will become national security risk company’s as soon as Trump is booted from office. Having all the US and ally intellengence along with a global satellite system and ballistic missiles is not comforting for any nation I would imagine given the erratic affect displayed.
Elon can jump off a cliff and make the world better. But the contract to SpaceX has nothing to do with him. It was years to bid and award, and there are no more reliable or tax friendly options. This is actually what's best for national security.
Because they are Zionists themselves and have sold out to AIPAC or they are greedy monsters who only have enough willpower to hold out one hand for more while simultaneously crying in the other hand.
The Trump Regime is also going to pay Leon billions for Starlink instead of using that money to build out faster, cheaper, more reliable fiber internet that doesn't deorbit after five years. Internet constellations have a place, but only for a tiny minority of very remote customers.
People who kill one planet shouldn’t be allowed to leave & repeat offend. Earth is our optimal environment. Spend the vanity money on actively making good to Life here.
So if we want to purchase new emergency radios at the local level, that has to go out for bids.....
but a $6B FEDERAL contract can just be awarded directly to the BFF of the president?
Come on, now! FFS!!!
Trumpie just wants to make sure NASA and other non-Muskie 'approved' agencies take another hit. Trumpie and Muskie want to control the space program and communications so badly.
It's corporate welfare for the richest man in the world. INSANE. Will Trump replace the large percentage of my retirement I lost in the stock market crash this past week? The crash he causes with his insane and senseless tariffs? I am experiencing "steep personal cost" due to TRUMP.
Would any bankers who provide accounts to Elon and his businesses kindly block them? By order of the People and for even distribution amongst the People.
There is no separation between state and business in autocracies. Trump was only reigned in by law abiders in his first term. How do we do so and better in his second?
No. Our taxpayer money should NOT be used to make musk & this regime richer 😡!
Blue states: We’ve GOT to figure out a way to withhold our fed dollars and keep them in OUR states!
California education just got a threat to withhold all federal funds because we follow a ‘DEI’ law for civil rights. THIS is what the Department of Ed now does with their civil rights branch! whopping 6-10% of our schools budgets. I’m a school librarian and libraries will be gone with this.
remember all that money we’re supposed save by firing hundreds of thousands of federal employees? T2.0 takes billions “saved”-pay privatized immigrant prisons/wrongly imprison asylum seekers & legally processed citizens without due process. These prison contracts are given to oligarch connections.

It's why aiding and abetting a crime is a crime.
And the Biden administration very clearly aided and abetted treason.

Does Senator #JimBanks think Musk deserves to be ?
Does #TedCruz ? The grimiest of the #7Mtns #MAGA
#Lankford ? Next term will be all new faces. You want to be there?

We, in Rochester, NY have
had museums and library’s funds withheld.
I fear for my grandchildrens’ public schools.😢
