    You're such an incredible loser. Like you argue like a child, it would be so easy to refute your stupid ass arguments because you and the other maga baboons in here dont understand anything about data.

    You are a waste of humanity.

    Funny considering Elon is only where he is today bcz of the big government that you dumbasses claim to hate. If it wasn't for the Obama bailout Tesla would've died a decade ago. If it wasn't for NASA proping up spacex it would've died before it started.

    The story of Elon is made possible by non government. I have no issue with Elon being as rich as he is cuz he's the perfect example of how important having a big government is.

    There's no bigger welfare queen in the world than Elon Musk. Tesla entire business model for profit was selling regulatory credits up until a few years ago

    It's just funny how the low iq right wingers who hate big government @Tomstro @Salvy @Space Ghost @tinman blindly worship a product of big government

    It's even funnier considering Elon is only where he is today cuz of government welfare yet the same clowns hate the government. It just shatters my mind how braindead their entire logic is

    Yet his PayPal proceeds were not enough to fund either companies. Spacex and Tesla both would've been bankrupt if it wasn't for government welfare lol. It's fascinating how you MAGATs can't comprehend this.

    Elon would be dead broke and both of his forms would've been dead if it wasnt for big government. This is a mere fact

    Bernie sold a lot of books after his presidential runs, on a top of being married and working a well paying job for the last 40 years.

    Net worth of 3 million, estimated that he made over 2 million on book sales in the last 10 years


    Don’t know about Liz and Nancy, but now you know the great mystery of Bernie’s fat stacks

    The part of DEI hates the man who routinely places women in power. This proves Democrats never gave a **** about the environment or equality.
    Democrats = party of grift. The true scourage of big givernment

    I do agree Bernie tends to unfairly get wrapped up in greed and corruption. While I strongly disagree with his philosophy, he is one of the more honorable politicians

    Let me stop you right there.

    there’s no logic. It’s just a bunch of nerds who can’t get laid. So their entire persona is being cucks for wealthy men like Trump and Elon.

    Would you feel better if Musk deleted starlink and instead gave that money to whatever you deemed to be a better cause?

    SpaceX: Much of its funding comes from government contracts with agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense. These contracts pay for services such as ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station or launching national security satellites.

    government bad. Elon great.

    Ah yes. Because paying Russia to ferry astronaunts is the better option. I always knew you were a Putin bootlicker

    I'm a millionaire and have never made as much as Bernie makes as a senator. I'm half his age. I've never inherited anything. I lost a chunk of wealth getting divorced. Becoming a millionaire isn't difficult. It's easily attainable for the average Joe, but people often put themselves behind the 8-ball or start too late.

    A philanthropy score is about charitable giving, not business ownership.

    My question wasn't What is a Philanthropy Score.

    If you expect Musk to give away money to some charity, that means he would have needed to sell a portion of his share of a company. As he reinvests nearly every dollar he owns, that means something would not be built. Would you be happy if he never reinvested his own money into Starlink and instead gave it to a charity of your choice?

    I don't understand why people think wealthy people have big vaults of golden coins sitting in their back yard. They reinvest it into other opportunities. Most peel off a small portion to buy large houses and yachts to dick measure with the other wealthy elites. Ironically enough, they often get the least flack. Is it because they donate it to 'philanthropic causes', ones full of very well paid and connected individuals in these organizations?
