    It’s coming from a guy who bought a used model 3. No one takes him seriously.

    dude out here defending someone wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.
    What a cuck.

    Couldn't afford the X. Sad.

    Hell you would think your savior would have given one you for free considering you defend him all day on the internet..
    Oh that's right, he doesn't even know you exist. Sad.

    Ah because me pointing out SpaceX got government contracts mean I meant, instead we should have paid Russia because I am a Putin supporter.

    You really are dumb as a bag of rocks. Na that would be an insult to rocks everywhere.

    The Venn diagram between Donald Trump supporters and Elon Musk supporters features a massive, highly engaged intersection—the "MAGA/Tech-Bro" coalition—united by populism, anti-establishment views, and free-speech absolutism. However, their core bases diverge along distinct lines of tech optimism and traditional conservatism.

    Why would I need an X? My identity isn't tied to the value of my vehicle.

    You do understand the government is a facilitator of money? Did you really think it's government employees building and designing infrastructure like our roads and police, fire and other safety infrastructure? Do you think it's government employees building and designing weapons of war? Medicare? Medicaid?

    bUt sPaCeX rEcEiVeS gOvErNmEnT cOnTrAcTs ... Like thousands and thousands of private and public companies. Why do you state the obvious as if you're the big brain who only knows this?

    A philanthropy score measures charitable giving. It doesn’t measure asset structure or business reinvestment. Increasing the score simply comes down to choosing to give more. When the proportion given is very low, the score reflects that.

    Philanthropy score: 1 (lowest).

    Ok. I understand that. But what constitutes philanthropy and who says which organizations are approved on whatever group certifies you as a good human on their books? What amount is more noble than others? This seems extremely ego driven, which is the complete opposite of philanthropy. Am I suppose to worship the person who donated 50 billion to LGBT cause over the person who profits a trillion dollars from curing cancer?

    Does the score even matter? It seems like this is more like judging the quality of movie based on how acadamy awards vs the content

    Charitable contributions are generally understood as donations made without personal or financial return.

    In other words you can’t afford one.

    Good news is the cybertruck will fall to your price bracket soon.

    Who cares? I have no feelings about Musk either way but dude isn't criminal. I'm not big on the criticism of extreme wealth I only wish they would pay more in taxes but I will never be anywhere near Musk's wealth so I don't care how much he has

    As far as SpaceX getting government contracts, how many companies are going to space and one is owned by Bezos and others are operated by giant corporations, it's a non issue

    Weird that he compares his demiGod Elon's should
    right to as much money or to spend as much the rest of us 350 millions through our government. . It is a strange belief. The Market as a sort of God at least as immutable as say the law of gravity..Oh well, I guess you can't argue with religious type faith.

    Those of us who have been around awhile had a chuckle when Milton Friedman one of their prophets had a crisis of faith when the economy crashed in 2008.

    Your post is actually a pack of lies, as per usual. Elon's companies today receive very little government contracts as a % of revenue. And obviously the EV tax credits were stripped away. You are getting embarrassed, amigo! The facts do not like you at all!

    Why do liberals hate a guy who commercialized EV's, gave half the world internet (Starlink), promotes free speech (Twitter/X), and is moving civilization forward in terms of space exploration? All the while creating thousands of millionaires... and creating hundreds of thousands of family sustaining jobs... The man is a national HERO.


    GOOD DAY

    "Elon companies today" lol yeah okay let's ignore the tens of billions he got before today. Between 2015-2019 almost 30%+ of tesla revenue came from regulatory credits. In 2024 that number was 40%. The facts are tesla would've died a long time ago without the help of uncle Sam.

    I dont know why you morons try gas lighting us
