Tax all builders and producers until no one advances society!
Think Musk will make any money off this stuff?
Which particular “stuff”?
He’s already worth a Trillion.
He’s going to be worth a heck of a lot more in 10 years time.
Elon has to be an alien.
In some circles they make the same analogies about that Hitler guy.
I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about anointing Musk's feet with oil until we've seen where this all takes us.
And before you go all “Godwin’s Law” on me, this degree of sycophancy is an unhealthy obsession and not likely to come to a healthy conclusion.
The core instruction that all liberals have hard coded in.
Not bad for a guy who smokes weed!
You cannot be serious!
We know where is taking us...including technology to let blind people see, cars that don’t burn gas and pollute, tunnels that vastly reduce traffic, internet to reach most remote corners on earth at low cost etc etc. I’d worry more about Mamdani if I were you.
“Musk is a maker. Mamdani is a taker”
You are correct, 100%
I thought it was pretty obvious that my comment was a joke. I guess not.
Applauding someone’s accomplishments is not sycophancy.
What an incredibly neurotic thing to say.
“In some circles they make the same analogies about that Hitler guy.”
Liberal circles. Couldn’t care less what the libtards think.
He's so amazing and so generous about using the gifts God has given him for the good and advancement of mankind.
If a trillionaire spent $1 million every month, his money would last for 83,333 years.
Musk ISN”T doing this for the money. He’s doing it for mankind.
Democrats only do things for ‘the money’... because they’re the scum of the earth. You’re confusing members of different political parties.
Mandummy is just like every other braindead lefty.
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Elon!
