    This is why Musk wants to defeat Biden. Biden’s billionaire tax on the rich…

    Under Biden’s proposals, a 25% tax on those with more than $100 million would raise $500 billion over 10 years to help fund benefits such as child care and paid parental leave.

      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.

      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.

    “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.

        If legislation under Trump will be worth more than that donation to him, it is a no brainer.

      The rich and powerful of the nation are coordinating to usher in fascism at lightning speed, and you’re worried about the 500 pinkos who won’t vote Biden because of his complicity in genocide? You’ve taken the same side as MAGA in blaming all the country’s problems on leftists. It is misdirection. You’ve been effortlessly oriented to be so wickedly invested in American electoralism, that you now have zero reservations about voting for candidates who both want genocide.

      In 30 years, will you still be militantly democrat when the choice is between a dem who wants 5 genocides and a republican who wants 10?

      Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It

      Edit: Also, Musk could continue doing these monthly payments for the next 460 years without making another cent ever again. This notion of “wasting his money” is silly. Each month takes a mere 0.02% hit on his account.

      Elon: “I’m giving Trump $45M/mo using subsidies I’ve collected from the American federal government.”

      Lemmy Guy: “Oh yeah, well I’m still voting for Joe Biden!”

      Joe Biden: “You, uh, I won’t stop, um… We gotta buy more Teslas, Jack! To save the planet!”

      If you’re too stupid to vote for Biden to save America from Fascism…

      I think you forgot a “not” in there.

      Edit: Why am I being booed? The sentence doesn’t make sense, people.

    With money like that, it’s no wonder people “support” Trump. Gold mines need shovels.
