This right here. Read every word of this post and if you don’t get it, read it again, but slower.
Federal Budget, Fiscal Year 2025
Revenue:
$5.235 trillion
Spending:
$7.010 trillion
Deficit:
$1.775 trillion short
Even if you could somehow sell every stock Elon Musk owns and raise $1 trillion, we would still have a $775 billion budget deficit! And then what are you going to do the year after that, after you’ve spent all his money?
On top of that, it’s not actually possible to sell all his stocks and raise $1 trillion. The stocks would tank if he was forced to sell, and be worth far less. He doesn’t actually have the ability to pull a trillion dollars out of the bank.
All of these politicians are pointing the finger at Musk to try and blame him for their budgetary failures. The reality is these legislators have fucked up so badly that every cent Elon Musk has can’t plug the hole in the budget. The deficits that we have every single year.
And most Americans are so stupid that they’ll actually believe these politicians instead of voting them out.
