Elon has created more wealth for more people, created more jobs, boosted more businesses, and advanced American greatness more than Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and AOC could ever or will ever do.

No doubt. But it would be foolish to ignore that his wealth wasn't largely derived from the federal government.

Yep. Thousands of new millionaires today because of Elon. The cafeteria workers at SpaceX are now millionaires.

The government gave him a trillion dollars? You fricking moron.

You have no clue how govt contracts work, do you? And what it takes after that to generate a trillion dollars of (paper) wealth. Your take is such a simpleton take.

Interestingly, that doesn’t seem to be a big component with these Democrats’ beef here.

Most of them seem smart enough not to want to open THAT can of worms.

I despise these ignorant left-wing loons. They're the same fools who swallow everything the corrupt corporate media tells them hook, line, and sinker.

I especially despise the fools who agree with these people 90% of the time while simultaneously pretending to be the most patriotic and conservative people on the planet.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.


The typical American household would also be torn apart if one person in it was caught engaging in insider trading too. But here we are, an entire legislative body that actively engages in it and thumbs their nose at the public they claim to represent.

Elon Musk will be remembered and spoken of 100 years from now but I suspect most of it will revolve around his innovations and contributions that came with those innovations, not merely for how rich he became.

Elizabeth Warren will be lucky to be remembered by most even 25 years from now.

Money is obviously a zero sum game. Every dollar Elon has is a dollar someone else doesn't have

Did I say that?

A lot of his wealth is derived from Tesla which would have failed if not for the DOE loan program.

The government has to buy stuff. Someone has to sell it.

These same people that love a huge government and want it to be even bigger are complaining that this huge government is making one of its suppliers rich.

I don’t disagree. I would add the Republicans to the scenario when they start lodging similar critiques as these vermin.

1). You don’t know that
2). He accessed a program and got government contracts just as anyone else could have. Trying to give government credit for his wealth is such a simpleton dumb take. But it’s you…so it’s expected.

So it was stupid to prop up and subsidize EV production? Who all were the biggest cheerleaders for that?

Remember when they were celebrating that he and Tesla had lost billions during the "Elon is a Nazi" protests and Tesla dealership and vehicle vandalisms from unhinged DNC programmed commie robots? That was aweseome.

If, if, if

What would've happened if government stayed completely out of private business?

You can't talk about the help, and leave out the hindrance. The government hurts way more than it helps.

It is wild he is trying to use that loan as the basis for some sort of criticism, a loan that they paid off in 3 years with interest, a whole 9 years quicker than they were supposed to
