Elon Musk Made Off With $16 Billion of Taxpayer Money
(newrepublic.com)
Conservatives despise empathy. Show them none.
I will never lose that part of me, not for them, not for anyone. I’ll let it show. Even for them.
Lest I turn into them.
Shit... you don't know the half of it. Trump has probably laundered a trillion dollars through this crapbag in the past two years.
Is he gonna be slammed?
We are going after the wrong immigrants.
No it's the immigrants or other brown people on welfare just to survive that are the problem
I mean the fuckboy is an immigrant /s
Gaslight.
Obstuct.
Project. <-- You are here.
and in exchange hes rigging the elections. there i completed the loop for anyone still out of it....
He’s rigging the election using our money. He’s found the infinite money glitch.
We probably need to shut down the computer.

Beware the trillionaire-electoral complex.
and in exchange he is rigging the elections again
There, ftfy
The grift!
He paid for government access to shutdown all the regulators that were looking into his fraud. Quid pro quo classic corruption out in the open. He should already been in prison.
He's a flight risk.
Arresting him then chopping his arms and legs off would be a good way to stop him making a run for it!! (If he's not guilty then give him back his appendages)
Another alternative is my patented "feet first woodchipper slow dunk." I can't explain the basics about this option because I get too excited...

Other countries have executed elected leaders for far less, and he not even elected, nor a leader!
I know planes don't crash very often statistically, but imagine the worldwide lack of sadness if this one did.
I would even go so far and say this would be celebration worthy.
They would have to commit more brutality than is already committed in the US every year to get people to stop celebrating this shit. It would literally be a year long, mass celebration that the world hasn’t seen since at least the COVID vaccines were finalized.
Molesting children obviously.
Elon’s head is held to his torso by only but a neck.

The truly disgusting thing about this is $16 million is literal pocket change for this guy. It’s a rounding error. He did it because it’s his nature.
16 billion, with a b...that we know of and can prove.
Yeah, knew that when I was typing it out. Even more sick that he probably wouldn’t notice $16 billion. Guy is an absolute crook and charlatan.
Off with his head

That's ridiculous.
ALL of his money is misappropriated taxpayer money.
Wait to you learn that Tesla was never profitable because the reality was the majority of their profits were based on financial instruments like carbon credits. It was always a pump and dump scam.
Let's keep it simple and sweet, everything musk does is a grift.
He finds smart people so sometimes things get built by accident, but he's ultimately just a grifter
Like his flying car business... Instead of building a giant quad and making a real flying "car" (as many have done), he spent God knows how much to build an rc car that could never, ever, in any country, be allowed on the road

Um, isn't he basically a welfare queen and supposedly worth nearly a trillion?
It seems like this is only the latest $16 billion he got from taxpayers?

i know someone who got life for less
If you get caught stealing $16, then you have a problem.
If you get caught stealing $16 billion, then the people who caught you have a problem
That old Bob Dylan line..."Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you King".
That's how he paid for that stupid car.
You notice how the windows are all dark. Even the front ?
That car had no seats or anything inside. Just the jet engines machinery. what a joke.
Not like it matters. That thing is a bomb on wheels. Even if that big rc car could still flip with a floppy human charging the center of gravity, you'd have to have a death wish to get inside that thing while it's moving, let alone jumping
200lbs of highly compressed air right behind the passengers.... If it popped, it would be like the Titan submersible, except after it turns you into red mist it would also release shrapnel
