Pelosi Pushes Electric Vehicle Subsidies As Husband’s Tesla Stock Soars....(owns up to $1 million of Tesla call options)
Free Beacon ^ | 10/29/2021 | Chuck Ross

The news comes as Pelosi spearheads legislation that doles out tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to the electric vehicle industry, including Tesla, with provisions to build charging stations for cars and incentivize electric car purchases through tax credits

The financial dealings of Pelosi's husband, Paul, came under scrutiny earlier this year when he purchased as much as $1 million of Tesla call options, one of the largest transactions of Tesla shares disclosed by a member of Congress. At the time, Republicans charged that the House speaker was cashing in on her power.

Why is it that these traitors never have enough $$ regardless of how many Americans they destroy to acquire it including the country? Do they believe they can line their coffins with it when they go to hell?

Telsa can sell every EV it makes.

It is a total waste of taxpayer money to pay out subsidies for electric car purchases.

Charging stations would need to be built at places where people normally spend time, such as at motels, highway restaurants and workplaces, which are mainly on private property.

Exxon and other otherwise doomed fossil fuel companies will be happy to build these chargers.

I and others need quality investment opportunities.

The federal government should mind its business and let others mind theirs.

I have often thought very similar.

It would take a few lifetimes to spend it all.

RE: Only cares about money....
Impossible to get accurate estimates but three places whow this:

One source (opposed as inaccurate by another):House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has amassed more than $196 million in wealth working on a congressional salary of $193,400

Paul Pelosi has a net worth of $120 million as of 2021. This is apart from the net worth of his wife Nancy.

The net worth of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul grew by an estimated $16.7 million in 2020, as millions of Americans struggled to make ends meet during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Nancy Pelosi’s 2020 annual financial disclosure, published this morning by the Clerk of the House, the Pelosis’ assets and unearned income for the year were worth at least $66.1 million and up to $315.7 million. Members of Congress are not required to provide an exact figure for the value of their assets, instead reporting them in broad value ranges.

RE: all she cares about is money.

If she makes $193,400 in straight salary in Congress each year (expense accounts, write offs, not known) then here’s an idea:
Why doesn’t Nancy say “I am refusing to accept any salary each year.” Accept $1.
