The decision on cutting taxes for the sickeningly-rich will come very easily for the GOP scum.

He doesn't have or understand typical human emotions. He lacks Emotional Intelligence.

Mel Gibson was even in a movie about those people.

and have been inclined to cut him a little slack therefor. But he has gone too far to deserve any slack whatsoever.

Africa.

I am unable to find one redeeming quality.

He's just another rich sick fuck.

Taking too much too often can cause a loss of gray matter volume, which can cause a host of problems, including aggression, poor decision making.

the life of others as miserable as he can.

As the world's richest he could be hobnobbing with the other elite, but no, he spends his time with bums and losers at MAL.

My guess is that no one else wants to hang out with him. I wouldn't; I'm no fan of spoiled, little, rich boys who are addicted to hoarding money and can't think of anything else to do with it. He doesn't even sound like an interesting conversationalist.

He is allowed to hang at MAL with what's-his-name because he isn't an interesting conversationalist. Mx.k can parade around and look important without making TSF look stupid because, by comparison, he cannot [make Trump look stupid].

..."hard choices" and "hardships" from which the little people will have to suffer. Heroic "job creators" and "defense" contractors like himself should never have to go without!

If he was a good little Spartan, worthy of survival. Many families (I’m talking to you, Mr and Mrs Hegseth) made the same mistake.

He knows and he doesn't care.

He's a narcissist who fools himself into believing that he is righteous because he claims concern about the "future of humanity".

Any man that would ghost his own child is a piece of shit.

Weasel words from weasel people who have too much money, too much power, too much time.

nutty stoner. I think that sums it up

Loot Medicare, loot Social Security, loot the Treasury - it's a game to them.

Emphasis on the "loot" part. It's something the GOP has wanted to do since the inception of Social Security. These are the last big pots of money they haven't stolen yet.

All will be revealed.
Really bad stuff.

Material wealth with intelligence and godliness...

Taking the Kim Jong Un approach.

Scream it from the rooftops! Because he’s an immigrant, he’s not even eligible to run. Why in heaven’s name are we not loudly protesting his presence in the halls of power? Why?

That, and he views the "little people" like us as little more than insects.

Guy grew up as a nepo-baby in Apartheid South Africa. Grew up cheating the social compact, came to America, fell upwards making code and partying, talked a good hustle, fell upwards again, got bought out big time, bought in on a couple tech start-ups, made tons of money off early adopter work, government subsidies and contracts so long as he stayed away from any actual managing or designing of the product being made.
The three things he directly had design or management involvement in lately - the Cybertruck, Starship, and the social media site formerly known as Twitter - have had so many flaws, disastrous shortcuts and "cost optimizing" risk inducements, its obvious why the Government stressed Musk was not allowed anywhere near the SpaceX contract divisions.
Starlink was a DARPA submission from the government side of SpaceX that won the contest for a portable Satellite Broadcast terminal and antenna.
Tesla initially registered and went public as a Tech company rather than a Automotive Company so they could bypass a lot of automotive regulations -and were allowed to continue as such because the then NTSB had few standards, policies and process to competently assess the tech safety features on "experimental" electric cars.
Now that electric cars are common, NTSB has all these things in place, Musk doesn't like either the requirement to meet those standards or the competition.

So, in short, Musk's problem is that he's a lucky spoiled brat who peaked around 2014 and doesn't realized all his understanding of engineering and his great design ideas are locked in the 1990's. And he tweets 18 hours a day, allegedly does Ketamine and Coke, and buys political access so he can feel like he's as socially relevant as he was in 2009.

Haele

But will need to pick up the slack for loved ones who lose it. Musk and all are stupidly shortsighted.

SOCIAL SECURITY SAVED CAPITALISM!!

People are just toys to him.

Thanks for the thread Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin

The precise definition of a Sociopath

If they said it... I'd like to see it.

IMHO... SS benefits need to go UP... not down.

I have seen them want to move the eligibility age for full benefits to 69.

Not sure how good that will do. Most people collect as early as they can and take the penalty say age 62.

But lift the cap!!

recipients the way he was raised to view non-whites in South Africa.

trump and Musk, both being nepobabies, Musk even righer, are so similar in that regard. Colorism seems to influence their thinking...as the old saying goes: "If you're Black, get back, if you're Brown, stick around."

But obviously the saying has to be adjusted because it's no longer: "...if you're Brown, stick around." It's now if you're Brown, hell no don't stick around, get back across the border and don't come back. In the meantime while we figure it out, get in that deportation camp until we can figure out where to ship you.

The billionaires don't care about you, me or the country at large. They want to create fiefdoms on top of the rubble.

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas

https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas

Get it through your heads. They want to destroy the US as it exists. It will start happening Jan 20, 2025.

all the good he could do in the world if only he were a decent person. He could single-handedly end hunger in this country and be remembered for that for as long as history books are written. But no, the richest man in the world wants more for himself. Just a sickening example of how low humanity really can go.

One month of any of the dirty jobs I did as a young man, working in terrible conditions for minimum wage next to others worse off than I was would have completely altered his worldview.

He’s just never been ‘there’. But he’ll go there eventually. Until he does he’ll keep offering up dickish nonsense like any other wealthy fool who knows nothing of the idiocy his words represent.

The GOP has always been safe for stupidity. It’s their cause, their mantra, their destiny.

Eisenhower was the last decent republican — and he would have slapped some sense into Elon’s idiot noggin.

It's like heaven in the Middle Ages ... the mythical promise of the great beyond blinds the believer to the work that needs to and could be done here below.

More's the pity in his case since he had already done a lot of good before that regulating neuron burned out.

Syphilis.

When we no longer offer them a return on their investment, then we are no longer useful to them, so they fire us.

I think too much money drives some people out of their minds. Morals, empathy, love, kindness, generosity over time (probably since birth) have never materialized. What we have now is a bunch of them getting their heads together dreaming of getting their hands on the U.S. Treasury on January 20, 2025. Lunatics are getting ready to take over the asylum.
The idea of doing away with the Polio vaccine???????

They truly believe that all wealth in the US belongs to them.
They deserve it, we don't.

They will take the money we paid into SS for themselves and not think twice about it.

And make no mistake, he wants to build up that wealth as quickly as possible.

The poor are not poor and Americans are spoiled. This coming from millionaire + mostly nepo babies.

I got facts for them, American workers have been at the top of production without a fair compensation and benefits for their efforts.
Production up, wages and compensation flat. In comparison to the 1970's adjusted for inflation.
