Tesla CEO and PayPal billionaire Elon Musk surprised many Friday when he declared on Twitter that he is a socialist. Conservative critics, however, may well have agreed, given his companies’ reliance on the state.

He likes government money and breaks. He is very good at getting.
His incessant feeding at the taxpayer’s trough told us that.
Well, iI am not. So there. Go to Venezuela Musk. You will feel at home. The US was not meant to be socialist.
Give him a cookie.
Christ.
There’s a fine line between genius and insanity.
Elon crosses that line sometimes.
By the way, I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind
that shifts resources from most productive to least
productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing
harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.

The irony and lack of self awareness.
He’s a socialist for money in the US Treasury, but a capitalist for money that has found its way to his bank account.
I think that’s fantastic. Elon, how do you plan to give your money to the poor?
You can’t be a socialist without some kind of subsidy.
This guy is a follower of Jeremy Bentham, not socialism.
James Stuart Mill skewered Betham with his own writings.
a ridiculous 19th century theory doesn’t work, so the lefties are trotting out an equally ridiculous 18th century theory . . .
these people really are nuts.

So all of us out here in nobodyville who knew this guy’s singular talent was talking others into paying for his pet projects are vindicated by his own words.
He’s a Socialist in the way he likes to separate people from their money.....but his money??? THAT IS HIS! Oh, and your money is his, coming in the manner of Government subsidies.
Sorry guy, it doesn’t matter. They will eat you anyway.

I feel this way about people who say “I’m a conservative but..”
Let this guy be what he is, doing what he does. The Left will find that these sorts poison their water. Like McCain and the GOP.
From each according to his means.
(I'm lookin' at you, Musk.)
He likes one aspect of socialism. Collectivism. The other, redistribution, is the part that self-described socialists always have a problem with in the real world. It always fails to materialize, and for good reason. What idiot would just give away all his stuff without being forced to?
This after Alex Jones claims he’s “one of us”.
