Under My Take you indicate the money was gleamed from workers. That’s somewhat correct. The American gov’t has shelled out billions of dollars over the decades propping up corporations thru subsidies. Amazon alone was subsidized for 12+ years. Every car Musk sold he received $7k refund from gov’t. So the republicans AND Dems supported large corporations on one end while squeezing the American public on the other. You know simple things like infrastructure, health care and school lunches. We were fed the line that they couldn’t go over budget, not enough money. Yeah sure. They aren’t having any problem now with an approaching $50T debt and probable bankruptcy.

It’s so discouraging. What chance do policy, ethics and honesty have against enormous sums of dark money and criminals with selfish intent

The other thing about Musk is that much of his wealth came from taxpayer money to "develop' his businesses.

Just short change for that scoundrel

All the white people would do is to protest. 50 million people marching to Washington DC or whatever. Trump, Musk and Co would just chill and let them protest. 😂

The highest per capita number of guns in the world are for school shootings only.

about youre "My take". I see it perfectly, it's no way all peoples in america are the sufficient idiots to give to this kind of peoples them money and yet don't know what happen or how the system its works. It's not possible them continue to ignore what's happen. If them continue to feed the things themselves are seeying are aberrant and doesn't work..

ICE its killing and jailing them around and spending ciphers in war for another country which a decimal part solve the life of all the full population and yet feed all that.. well my friend..them have what them merit. It's to big, to evident, 'em can't said don't get it, don't see or don't understand. No way, at all. 250 years of Capitalism, Presidents assasinated. 40 T to pay, the most poor, without hrakth system, onky billioners celebrating and them give them money to be pissed kn them heads?.. No way. Vaseline. Enjoy.

Them rip what them sow. It's impossible them don't understand, don't want, that its divrrse.

Exactly Grumpy. The people are being pushed further and further down to a voter irrelevance and the bad thing about it most don't even see or understand what you so eloquently expound. This has been going on for far too long.

Maybe he’s looking for the availability of votes, of registrants too ill or infirm to actually cast those votes. Too ill to notice, or swear out an affidavit after the fact affirming that they never made the ballot selection attributed to them. Who’s gonna notice, if that happens?

For my part, I totally blame the hapless American voters who have cut their noses to spite their face far too many times. I don’t blame any lobby or PAC for spending sickening money of money on elections but if after spending the money and the voters don’t vote for them, it will force a rethink. Plus, these multimillionaires/billionaires aren’t taxed anywhere enough! It’s the same here in the UK and getting worse.

You are giving Musk too much personal credit when you say he made his billions on the backs of the working class; he made his money by directly getting his financing from everyone of us, the taxpayers of the US and other nations.

Valueless assets become real world terrorism. The biggest fear for western citizens is that citizens of the global south can drop their dime here for a cup of coffee. Apparently the colonisers are our own.
