I got a really vicious hangnail on my right ring finger, “after California legislator tweeted ‘f-k Elon Musk.”

F**K Joe Biden

It’s not welfare, it’s government investment in technology. Like it or not, that is how congress and the bureaucracy has decided to spend your money. It’s better if they actually get something in return for it. Elon is providing that as I have already explained. Add to that, Elon has spent many more billions of his own money then any government has paid him. And because he has invested his own money and taken enormous risk in new technologies, he has become one of, if not the, richest man in the world. Note that he does not spend his money social engineering like gates or soros, he spends on the next generation technology that all of mankind benefits from.

Don't mess with Musk.

His mom is the elderly model who did some commercials for CoverGirl a few years back.

She seems like a tough old broad you shouldn't mess with either.

The tax loss for Kalifornia will be substantial.

While Musk may avoid personal taxes no matter where he lives because of annoying depreciation schedules and other mechanisms, having the gross receipts from Tesla land in Texas is a nice middle finger to the leftists here in Kalifornia.

I highly doubt Texas had to offer any additional incentives to lure him there.

Meanwhile, Gruesome and his fellow felons in Sacramento are raking in the tax $’s on each gallon of gasoline bought in California.

Maybe that is the reason he is hated by Gruesome and his fascist thugs, aka democrats. Teslas don’t use much gasoline.

Here’s what’s on the tax side of the ledger on gasoline in Californicator You land:

The federal government charges an excise tax of 18.4 cents per gallon.

California’s excise taxes on gasoline come to 50.5 cents per gallon. That includes 12.7 cents per gallon from the controversial Senate Bill 1 that became law to improve infrastructure and develop transportation programs across the state.

Plus, there’s a state sales tax. It can vary by area but the Stillwater analysis estimated the sales tax averages 10.7 cents per gallon.

Every time gas prices go up in Californicator You land, Gov. Gruesome brings in another 11 cents for each $ increase.

Put together, Californians pay 79.6 cents per gallon in gas taxes.

There are still companies like Facebook, Google and Apple in Silicon Valley so California hasn’t been punished for their policies yet.

>>He has brought internet to areas of the country that barely had had any internet access options.
Not yet he hasn’t

Wrong! His Starlink division has brought low-cost Internet to thousands across the country, to many who barely have other options. Look it up, it's available.

Yeah the gas tax is the worst and when coupled with sales tax takes an knowingly heavy toll on those struggling to get by.

Most unwittingly vote Democrat anyway.and I fault the California GOP for not being a able to capitalize on the obvious.

Seattle City Council President Lorena Gonzalez is just as left as the crazy Kshama Sawant of the Socialist Alternative Party and fellow city council member. Pure commies. They’ve successfully ran Amazon out of Seattle. The new Amazon CEO said they’re moving out of Seattle into the outlying cities that are business friendlyer than the Marxists running Seattle.

Most Californians have zero concept of the all the taxes on our gasoline.

I have won a lot of bets about having a California Sales Tax on gasoline.

Most people have no idea of a California sales tax on their gasoline purchases.
