And don't forget that #musk was a draft dodger from South Africa, he first moved to Canada to be with his Canadian mother to avoid the SA draft and attend college there. After about 2 years he moved to the US under a student visa, broke our immigration laws and started a business.

@georgetakei Musk Spending Is 'The Big One':
From 2020: Elon Musk’s Big Government Grift - The Tesla mogul says he wants to be left alone. But he’s been living off the taxpayer’s dime for years. https://newrepublic.com/article/160500/elon-musks-big-government-grift #ElonMusk #usPolitics #waste
When you act like you are entitled due to wealth, you can also be an expert on entitlements it seems. Does he realize that most of us paid our hard-earned money over a lifetime for those entitlements?
His comeuppance will not be pretty...
I think it is best to call them "earned benefits" as opposed to "entitlements".
@georgetakei And after Elonnshred every remaining strand of America's socoal safety net and strips the government of the ability to do anything but subsidies, each and every republican running for re-election will turn around and go 'Golly gee, we didn't destroy your medicaid, it was that dastardly former democrat Elon! There was nothing we could do despite having both houses, the presidency and the supreme court! If only democrats hadn't blocked Trump's agenda, also I'll move heaven and earth to stop them rebuilding!'
@georgetakei I’m still baffled by the shear incompetence of musk and trump, and on top of that the apparent effective inaction of the democrats. America has sunken deep.
@georgetakei it's a shame there's no agency that holds politicians to their words. Trump says he knows nothing about Project 2025, then enacts it all and gives it's author a job. Trump says they won't touch Social Security, then they try and kill it. Actions like that should get a leader kicked out of office immediately.
@georgetakei It's the Third Rail that all Americans will rally around. You don't fuck with this!!!
@samhainnight @georgetakei
Americans: Hold my beer.
They aren't entitlements, those are programs I funded with every paycheck in my entire life, for over 46 years now. They were promised to me in return for those payments. They are owed to me.
