His definition of “socialism” is when government gives him money.

Color me shocked. Not. He sells a dangerous product that on occasion spontaneously bursts into flames, is bought by global warming morons, and is massively subsidized by the government. Of course he is a socialist aka crony capitalist (really the same thing).

Musk is also battling the UAW and pointing out how corrupt they are.

He’s battling the press and pointing out how corrupt they are.

He’s criticized socialism.

He recently said Karl Marx was a capitalist because he wrote Das Kapital.

Keep in mind that he’s a serial entrepreneur and his companies employ over 50,000 people.

Also keep in mind that he likes to have fun with people on Twitter.

And today Musk says he’s an anarchist.

That’s why he has no moral problem as a miner, a miner of the public treasuries for subsidies to pay for his expensive toys.

...

He plans to use his wealth to make humans a multiplanetary species.

He’s currently paid minimum wage but he doesn’t cash the checks.

Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

“Live by the State Die by the State”’

Then he should stop grumbling about how government of California is telling him how to run his “state funded” business.

Then give your wealth away to the poor and leave the rest of us unmolested.

Oh, wait, that’s not socialism ... socialism is at the end of the day giving away other people’s money but remaining the elite you imagine yourself to be....

No surprise. His only real “customer” is the government. The private sector won’t pay for any of his crap without massive subsidies.

Then he should give all his money away and live on 50K a year. He’s a hypocrite, socialism only hurts the wage earner.

The Pope surprised many Friday when he declared on Twitter that he was Catholic. A bear also surprised many Friday when he declared on Twitter that he goes potty in the woods.
