I know Elon is a hypocrite, I know that we expect hypocrisy out of reactionary rightwing figures but HIS ENTIRE FUCKING FORTUNE IS BASED ON THE GOVERNMENT HELPING HIM AND NOW HE, THE RICHEST MAN ON PLANET EARTH, WANTS TO CUT FOOD STAMPS AND IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY

Powell’s speech attributing inflation largely to transitory pandemic effects was apolitical, but it implicitly absolved Biden’s policies. So sure enough, tech bros who showed their political acumen by boosting RFK Jr. are declaring that government spending causes inflation

“Got mine.” Both in the literal emerald sense and the figurative.

His extreme right wing swing appears to be about something bigger than money. I can’t help but wonder how bad it is? 🤮

Elon Musk is a demonstrable idiot.

But see, he’s okay with tax dollars being “well spent,” which he’s definitely define as including the government overpaying him for inventing tech we already had in 1960s.

it always amazes me at how truly dumb he is. i don’t think he’s being cynical he truly believes everything he says because he’s stupid

The word “hypocrite” has lost its sting. Maybe “fascist a—hole” instead?

So, let’s defund SpaceX 🤷‍♂️

Hey, if we want to cut wasteful spending, let's stop giving Musk federal $$Hey, if we want to cut wasteful spending, let's stop giving Musk federal $$

Oligarch Musk is a nepo baby welfare queen, who needs his citizenship revoked, and his tax subsidies cancelled.

And, he's wrong in this case anyway.
