Musk says government funded jobs aren’t real jobs. Yet his companies survived on government subsidies. (Also, those savings are bogus numbers.)
Replies
They refuse to provide any documentation supporting the alleged savings. He couldn’t handle a government job.

Musk believes that profit should be the only motivator. Therefore, having a government that funds things that improve the human condition without making a profit are waste. I, for one, do not share that view.

To be clear, if the rich were taxed, none of that would be an issue. But instead of being taxed, they're getting tax cuts. And everyone else is paying for that - by losing their jobs, benefits and services. That's what's going on.

So two things to note, when you compare that to the debt per taxpayer, even if accurate, each taxpayer is "responsible" for $323k of the US debt. This literally is saving tax payers .006%. 6 thousandths of a percent. To screw over literal millions of people who rely on those services

The second thing to note on the debt clock that was used is that it's assuming our trade levels will remain the same and we will not incur more debts as people default on debts they can't pay due to said programs not existing.
