Dem Rep. Jones: ‘Greedy’ Elon Musk ‘Is Demonstrably Out of Touch with Reality’
Breitbart ^ | 04/29/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/30/2022 7:34:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Mondaire Jones (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is “demonstrably out of touch with reality.”

Guest-host Mehdi Hasan asked, “One more question about the whole extremism discussion. What is your reaction to Elon Musk, soon to be a new owner of Twitter, saying that the Democratic Party, your party, has been taken over by extremists? You are a freshman congressman. A progressive is he referring to people like you?”

Well, here’s some of who he is:

“A member of the Democratic Party, he and Ritchie Torres are the first openly gay black members of Congress.

“Democrats who are simply trying to ... lower the cost of gas and groceries at the grocery store”

They own ALL THREE branches. Maybe they are “simply trying” the wrong things. Of course, with Dems, results never matter. What matters is that they care and they are trying their best.

Most of us learned by fifth grade that effort doesn’t matter, only results. Ergo, Dems have never progressed beyond fifth grade.

You’re probably correct. Either way, that’s a hefty tax bill.

“Money is like gravity. If you have enough of it, it warps space around it and brings things into orbit that otherwise might have just flown passed. Money, like gravity, creates its own reality.”

That is one of the best perspectives I have read in years now. If one starts with this perspective as a known constant the “why” of everything is simple.

“…someone who does not like to pay taxes…”
Not very convincing, maybe even hypocritical coming from Musk who thinks we you need a carbon tax.

Jones is out of touch with reality; that’s why he’s a Dem.

The Congressman said that, not Musk.

I don’t think Musk said that specifically either.
I think he stated that the way to reduce CO2 is to levy a tax.
That is correct in actuality. It is a terrible idea as well.
Musk is bipolar and on the spectrum, stating the truth doesn’t mean one advocates that. He also changes his mind often.
I tend more to watch what he does than what he says.

Democrats can try to make life difficult for Musk. They can pass laws, levy taxes, and pass regulations that affect his businesses. Then he will just move his businesses to another country. Ask California about Musk and his reality.

Anytime a Dem or media monkey criticizes Musk, he should send them that great graphic he created about how the dem party left him.

Should democrats really be making claims that some people are ‘out of touch with reality’?

“ Then he will just move his businesses to another country.”

Why anyone would want a business based in America…the most corrupt woke-Nazi tyranny on Earth…is beyond me. Babylon the Great…and run by the whores.

Why is it that black congress critters say the stupidest things? The “out of touch with reality” statement more aptly describes Democrats and especially black Democrats.

Musk is handling himself with x10 more poise and certainly more intellect, more than this boohoo could ever dream of on today's live stream, right now btw.

Hey Frigidaire, lern2code.
