Those assets however unlock extremely favorable loans that the rest of us will never get access to. The income from the asset-leveraged loans are not taxed because... reasons.

“Can any Tesla fanboi out there explain to me why Musk is so bent on trying to make the completely inhabitable Mars livable and building entire cities there when we have this huge, habitable planet that we’re already conveniently living on?”

Yeah, bullshit stock valuations based on “confidence” and happy thoughts, is a serious problem with the modern financial system.

Not a fanboi but I suspect if he were to colonize Mars he would have 100% complete control over those people and there would be no way any governments can control what he can do. 

The EV maker founded by Musk has become the world’s most valuable auto company, with a price tag of about $710billion. That makes it worth more than Coca-Cola, Bank of America and Boeing combined.

Oh, so they only have tens of BILLIONS they can actually spend...

what really amazed me is the amount of Elon Tesla fanbois that are willing to support him financially

I know, it’s just the complete disconnect, and it used to be quieter with pointing to Soros while the Koch’s were handing out fat stacks in the background. Now they are putting the obscenely wealthy front and center while still pointing fingers at far less wealthy and powerful billionaires.

This wouldn’t even be the first time.  I mean how many years have they been ranting on and on about George Soros when they’ve got a whole stable of politically active billionaires themselves?  Hypocrisy is pretty much the whole Republican brand at this point.  Vance even added a few more than this one.   Like the time…

Need the Right to help me. So Musk and Trump being disgustingly rich and amassing gold like Smaug is okay and a good reason to listen to them but Taylor Swift is an out of touch billionaire... Amassing billions of dollars is ridiculous, a trillion dollars in the hands of one person is asinine.

The Pentagon will continue “reviewing his clearance” and not a thing will come of it.

What’s it like being the single stupidest commenter on all of Kinja?

Yeah, I would. Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. That you don’t see Democrats calling for assassinations of their political opponents speaks volumes.

The connections with Beijing and (alleged) private calls with Putin should have been more red flags than a May Day parade.

Musk shouldn’t have the security clearance to access a hotdog stand

Just tell the boards of Musk’s companies that have federal contracts that they either need to remove him completely or the US will do it for them. He’ll be out on his ass before lunch.  

I’ll say it again, if you’re financing this guy by buying a Tesla, you really need to check yourself. That company doesn’t exist to me until he’s long gone.

In a recent (now deleted) tweet he wondered aloud why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris haven’t yet been assassinated.

Just get him the hell out of here.

In addition to yanking his security clearance, revoke his citizenship and deport him back to South Africa from whence he came. From there, maybe he can move on to a dictatorship more in line with his personal beliefs.
