    If you’re too stupid to vote for Biden to save America from Fascism (talking to you, Tankies), at least vote for him to make Elon Musk waste a bunch of money.

      And with that 25% tax he would still have more money than he could ever spend. These billionaires are not humans, their ghouls. They deserve our hate.

        Buying politicians can get expensive. Wont you think of the poor billionaires that would have to cut down on their bribery if there were a wealth tax??

        For them money is just a highscore. They either win or lose, the actual amount doesn’t matter at all.

        The asshole could spend a thousand lifetimes just lying on the beach and sipping cocktails and he’d still be a billionaire.

      More importantly, the race is a 50/50 split and if Trump won, and Elon didn’t pay up, all of his most profitable businesses could be killed by Trump.

      For example, Trump has been threatening to fuck over EV manufacturers.

      if he keeps dragging his companies down, he won’t have to worry so much about a tax on the ultra-wealthy anymore.

    You could do a lot of good with that money. Like, build a ton of housing. Replace some lead pipes or other hazardous infrastructure. Pay some medical debt.

    Instead he does this.

    I won’t be mad if Musk meets a sudden end. I just hope it’s a really embarrassing one.

      In a perfect world libertarians wouldn’t exist, empathy would be far higher in all humans, and we wouldn’t have any of these problems like homelessness or starvation. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in hell.

        without libertarians, who’s gonna advocate for lowering the age of consent? who will maintain spreadsheets of states and their ages of consent with details about their Romeo & Juliet laws? who will think of the children, so to speak?

          You mean you don’t carry Romeo and Juliet laws around on a card? That’s a perfectly normal thing to do!

    We needed Batman, and we ended up with Fatman.

    I wonder how much wealth Fatman’s family accrued while Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.

    “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.” – Donald Trump

    Vote! And make Elon worthless.
