John - Elon Musk has made news over and over for himself –
mostly negative, mind you – since he bought Twitter for a whopping $44
billion.
Since buying the site, he’s attempted to brand himself as a free-speech
warrior, and someone who doesn’t fit into a political “box,” however we
know the truth: of course, he’s a Republican.
Some stats for you:
As reported by CNN, “In January 2010 the company received a $465 million
low-interest loan from the Department of Energy…”
Insider reported, “Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion
in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since.”
While receiving BILLIONS from the government, Musk has promoted himself as
self-made and an intellectual giant, but none of those things were done on
their own, because billionaires aren’t self-made, they are made by the
money they receive from multiple sources.
Again, from insider, “[In 2021] he spoke out against government subsidies
and tax incentives for US businesses. In a recent interview with TIME, he
said the government was not a good "steward of capital."
In this case, Musk has been the pot calling the kettle black.
How much more Republican can you get than by being someone hoarding your
billions while scoffing at people who are working for scraps and want to
better their lives?
Republicans cry wolf over and over about spending on important programs
like Medicaid and Unemployment, but they will happily hand over tax breaks
to the people who have the most disposable income.
That’s a concept they can’t seem to ever understand: poor people don’t
have “disposable income,” everything goes to keeping food on the table and
the lights on.
And of course, those like Musk can’t seem to sympathize with people who
struggle – when has he ever had to worry about making sure he had enough
to cover a bill? NEVER.
Now, Musk’s company Tesla is tanking in the stock market, so don’t be
surprised when he goes asking for some help from the government, but don’t
you DARE complain about not being able to afford housing or food. That’s
not what Republicans concern themselves with because they only care about
their rich buddies.
And let’s not forget him encouraging his followers to vote Republican in
the midterms.

If he walks like a Republican, spends like one, and talks like one… then
the evidence is pretty clear. [ [link removed] ]Chip in now to defeat the corporate
influences and insatiable greed that drives the opposition.
