Friendly reminder that a large percentage of the electorate is financially illiterate and thinks billionaires like Elon Musk actually have hundreds of billions of dollars sitting in a bank vault like a cartoon.
We spend more than anyone on public education and it’s absolutely horrendous. We purposefully release violent criminals back onto the streets. We take money from your paycheck and give it to foreign citizens who are here illegally.
It’s the guy landing rockets fault.
If you just give us a few percent more of your money, we could finally fix the worsening education, homelessness and crime caused by our own terrible policies…
Please bro… just a few percent more.
One last tax. I swear bro. Then I’m done.
The US budget is $7.4 Trillion you moron.
Tax revenue is at record highs.
Forget about 5%… if you socialists confiscated 100% of his net worth, it would last ~45 days.
And then what?
We don’t have a revenue problem.
It’s you clowns spending it.
If you taxed 100% of Elon’s net worth, confiscated every penny, you could fund the current US government for about… 49 days.
We don’t have a revenue problem.
We have a welfare spending problem.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.
We need a wealth tax.
Elon Musk just created ~5,000 new millionaires, current and former $SPCX employees.
Of those ~5,000 people, roughly 400 of them will see stakes worth $100 million.
Most of our billionaires and "Titans of Industry" today are in tech or finance…
They make social media apps or move numbers on a screen. Elon is different because he actually builds things. Cars, rockets, satellites, factories. American exceptionalism.🇺🇸
