@Rajk999 saidDenial.. The first of 5 stages, ….since he has been mired there for over 3 months, he might just Skip anger and bargaining, and go straight into depression. The last, Acceptance, ain’t gonna happen.
So he is not actually stupid, just pretending to be stupid.
Trump just held probably his 15th press conference, and I love it being in the oval office. Biden over four years only had 33 press conferences. And notice how we are always hearing from all of the cabinet members,, like Hegseth in Germany this morning. We never heard from any cabinet members of note during the Biden administration. Hell . I think I will try some of those stages of grief. !
@Rajk999 saidLord what do you think USAID did, wipe their butts with $100 bills?
This statement you made, is a redflag and a sign of ignorance :
That's the amount the federal government gives him for Tesla and SpaceX.
Tesla and Spacex are publicly traded companies. It is only if these companies are doing work for the govt, then these companies are paid for work done. The companies are paid, not Elon Musk. He has shares in these companies, m ...[text shortened]... 0% shareholding in them.
I dont need to read anything to know your initial statement is nonsense.
@wildgrass saidYou need to read some more to widen your understanding of how these things work.
If govt contracts supporting musks companies were shuttered by DOGE, he would personally lose a lot of wealth immediately.
Spacex is worth over $350 Billion
Tesla is worth over $1.3 Trillion.
Govt contracts are worth only about $22 billion.
So do some math.
@Rajk999 saidWow! You typed some numbers. Now do corporate earnings vs. valuation, smart wad.

Teslas stock jumped 29% in a week. Which week? The same week trump won the election. So, Tesla investors disagree with you.
And the company's profits and sales have been declining.
Let's see if the musk administration cuts any of the government programs that prop up his own net worth and success.

It was stated as fact during a congressional hearing and no one disputed or questioned it.
Why would you? It seems like about the right number given all the government bloat contracts his companies received. Tesla and SpaceXx would be bankrupt without govt help.
It is difficult to put a number on how much financial assistence Musk's industries have received, but it is substantial, and kept him from bankruptcy at least twice. Certainly double-digit billions. There is a clear conflict of interest in Musk's continuing to be so close to the office of the President, given the potential for future contracts with, for example, NASA.
@wildgrass saidWhy don’t you listen to peoples actual words instead of drama news network snippets. Are all overhead cost taken out, does he own all of these companies, which admin awarded these contracts, were they the most bang for our buck as he states?

@mike69 saidListening to words does not help in this climate. I heard trump say in 2015 that he would eliminate the deficit but he tripled it instead.

@wildgrass saidYou write a bit differently these days. Curious indeed.

Some black women just came on the Watters Show, wondering where Kamala is, why do't you come and help us!? Where have you gone?? We need a leader!!!
You see, she IS NOT A LEADER. That is the point. That is WHY she does not help. My god in heaven.
@AverageJoe1 saidDoes the Trump crowd never stop lying?
Speaking of educating, the dems are nuts about getting rid of DOE>. And I LOVE seeing them, including Bernie in his Biiiiig parka, out on the cold street, like street preachers!!! Waving their arms, for god sake. Do we wave our arms? Do we scream and screech?
Hey, Hegseth is about to speak. Do you even remember ONE TIME that his predecessor (DEI guy, Austin) spoke, about anything? No transparency, don't you see.
