Because people like Elon Musk show just how how incompetent and corrupt big-spending politicians are. They see what Elon has been able to do with money voluntarily given and it infuriates them, because despite the fact that they control vast amounts of tax dollars they can't solve any of the problems they have promised to, and in most cases have made things worse.

This single tweet cost California hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, revenue, and jobs:

“Elon Musk is a trillionaire.” As a securities law attorney, please allow me to explain how anyone who says this is basically lying to you: 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has a myriad of laws that prevent founders and other large stockholders of publicly traded companies from dumping their shares. There are substantial holding period requirements, volume of sales limitations and public reporting obligations for stock sales. Basically, Elon holds largely illiquid shares, he is a “trillionaire” on paper only, and the best analogy is when people peg your net worth based on your home’s market price. That’s not money in your pocket, that’s the house you live in. 2. All that money raised in the IPO? That’s not going into Elon’s pocket like the lying socialist idiots want you to believe. It’s a capital influx that will be used to make more rockets and get more payloads into orbit. It’s a CAPITAL investment—that money is like a business loan, it’s not your money to keep, it’s your money to grow the business. 3. If it WERE legal for Elon to dump his shares, the share price would crash basically instantly and the company could very well fail. If you bought SpaceX shares in the IPO, congrats. You just bought a lottery ticket, just like Elon. May the odds ever be in your favor. So the next time someone screeches about how unfair it is that Elon Musk creates wealth that benefits all of humanity, throw the truth back in their faces.

A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it. These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸

This clip of Charles Payne during Obama's second term is really incredible. Well done Charles. In 2010 Obama put the federal government directly in charge of lending money to students. Eliminating private lending made the loans much easier to get, but they were not less expensive. Before Obama took office, outstanding student debt was less than $100 billion. By 2015, outstanding student debt was approximately $800 billion and almost a third of the borrowers were in default. Of course the price of college continued to soar the entire time. This is the best part. Payne predicted that someday the politicians would be promising to forgive student debt as a way to buy votes. He was spot on. There are people like Ro Khanna on this site right now arguing that Elon Musk should be paying down the student debt when it's a problem that politicians created.

Today X is filled with leftist millionaire members of Congress crying about Elon becoming a trillionaire. All of those leftist members of Congress made massive amounts of money trading stocks on insider info they obtained as members of Congress. Members of Congress know early which companies are getting which govt contracts. They then trade stocks and options on that info.

Father has epic response to this lady 😭🔥 “I also have five boys.” “Boys, when you go out into school, don’t stab any other kids. You think you guys can do that?”

They will kill you and then piss on your grave because the person who murdered you went to prison for it. This is awful, but I hope it wakes people up. I hope it let's them know that this is how they actually feel all the time. They just aren't able to control it at all right now.

I’m actually kind of enjoying this era where we just find out everyone who lectured us about how terrible we all were for years turn out to be completely full of shit

Just a little American advice to all my friends in the UK: It's only treason if you lose. Godspeed.

I also think what we’re seeing with the British and American public are people who have been incredibly generous for many decades. They HAVE welcomed many many foreigners. And if you look at Ilhan Omar, you see how that generosity is so often repaid. With ingratitude, entitlement, and smears about systemically racist systems even as they leap to the front of the line in social programs and college admittance over native populations that happen to have white skin. So no, they don’t want to welcome more foreigners in. People tend to feel less generous when their generosity is unappreciated.

Remember the weaponization fund that was blocked? The whole point was justice for Americans targeted like this by the Biden DOJ for political reasons. Here their own attorneys admit this was wrong yet elected leaders, including multiple Reoublican Senators prevented Pres Trump & Acting AG Todd Blanche from trying to make this right. It is outrageous & shameful. These people are profoundly dishonest & dismissive of the American people. They could not care less - so what does that tell you about what is to come if they are ever in charge again? Time for this country to wake up.

Well, that and Republicans still think that elections are won by winning the debate. Republicans love burning campaign money on Axiom Strategies, which in turn spends on ads. Democrats invest it all into a gigantic NGO network that is cleverly tax-optimized that actually turns out voters.

The reason your city has been ruined by homeless people and your kids have to walk through shit and needles to get to school is because Democrats use them to steal elections. In case you were wondering why the homeless problem never gets solved.

Totally agreed Mr President! The gun community was shouting from the rooftops for Thune to fire the Parliamentarian during the BBB fight This Dem Senate Parliamentarian is the sole reason why silencers, SBR’s, and SBS’ are still on the NFA despite Congress voting to remove them

This makes no sense.

🚨I’ve been fighting this since 2020 when I ran against Ted Lieu. Now the same man who vilifies anyone questioning election integrity is calling concerned Americans conspiracy theorists. Let me break it down for you. Los Angeles County has 5.9 million registered voters, more than 38 entire US states combined. Yet this massive county had a mail ballot rejection rate of just 0.77 percent in 2024, lower than the statewide average of 0.93 percent. How does the largest voting jurisdiction in America have a significantly lower signature rejection rate than much smaller counties? California has no voter ID requirement for mail ballots. Signature matching is the only safeguard, and in LA County that safeguard appears extremely weak. Ballots can be counted for up to 30 plus days after Election Day. Late counted mail ballots have consistently favored Democrats. The man running LA County elections since 2008 is Dean Logan. In 2004, he oversaw a Governor’s race in Washington state decided by just 129 votes after multiple recounts, amid major controversy over overlooked mail ballots that flipped the outcome. These questions are never answered. Anyone who asks them gets attacked. It’s time to stop the name calling and demand real transparency. We need a full forensic audit of LA County’s entire election system now.

“Late votes are disproportionately for Democrats” struck me as believable. “Late votes are disproportionately for whichever Democrat needs to come in 2nd to keep a Republican out of a two-man runoff” is not.

A new California law bans: 1: Neutral election observers from challenging a ballot. 2: Law enforcement from enforcing election law. 3: Law enforcement from inspecting voting machines. Of course California elections are corrupt! They literally made it illegal to enforce laws!
