Are you? How much tax did you pay this year to fund essential services, Musk paid $11billion in 2021, how close are you to that? Quite far off? Perhaps you should get a job then and start giving all your money away, who knows if everyone does it it might come close
Does that even cover what his companies get in government money?
He is not the hand that feeds, none of his companies needs him. He is not an engineer, no a programmer, doesn’t build and I doubt that he would be able to mop the floors. I am absolutely convinced all his companies would be better off without him. Especially since twitter and ketamine deep fried his brain a few years ago.
It more than covers what his companies get in subsidies.
Remember that a lot of government money he receives is literally in exchange for services, eg space launches, ISS work, etc.
And most of the other subsidy money is something you benefit from as well, there is a reason America is such a powerhouse of the world, and part of it is that it encourages entrepreneurship through subsidies to ensure these companies work and invest in America and don't simply leave and go elsewhere.
He is an engineer and a programmer.
The fact you think he can't even mop the floors yet has built an empire making him the richest man who has ever lived suggests that you are a bit of a fool.
I doubt it. Especially thanks to all those tax cuts.
He is neither, he is an investor who was born rich and bought good ideas and there is probably a reason why everything he touched has failed for years now. Be it the cybertruck or doge or the roadster or twitter or xAI or …
Yes. I said in the last years, include a list of things and you come up with old stuff that he hasn’t run into the ground yet.
Tesla’s sales peak was years ago, it’s barely profitable and even their main product, the stock has been trading sideways for years now - given that it’s overvalued 10x might be seen as a success.
Yes, and I read what you said: "everything he touched has failed for years now." I disputed it because that claim is categorically false.
You're now pretending that a profitable company with a stock you personally consider overvalued somehow establishes that everything Musk touches fails?
Do you ever stop and examine your own claims? Make it make sense.
Of course you doubt it, because taking 10 seconds to google it would interfere with this self-righteous crusade you've invented in your own mind.
The guy is literally the richest man in the world and you think he's failing, do you not read your own words and think hold on that doesn't make any sense at all lol
