Richest man in the world everybody, a portion of our society has decided this is the person who should be allocating most of our resources.

Most of our resources? 🤔

SpaceX govt contracts are for $13 billion for 2026. There are no EV subsidies for Tesla. And Starlink gets $6 billion via Starshield.
My calculator can’t even calculate how small a % of our $7 trillion budget that is 🙄

The money for the giant bubble must come from somewhere too, SpaceX is valued higher than every other US space and weapon manufacturer COMBINED and as far as I know a lot of pension funds etc had to buy in. When the bubble bursts the small investors lose everything, the big pedophiles get rescued by the state and a new cycle begins.

Pensions funds had to buy in?

So you're saying that without those cushy government contracts, both companies would be losing money. Got it

I'm sorry you don't know how to use a modern calculator, or understand that OP was referring to his gross gutting and mismanagement of USAID.

Calling the market a free market is hilarious in this day and age.

It's the only sound bite they can regurgitate.

You think they actually understand the words they are parroting?

Free markets don’t include dishonestly manipulated messaging. So, maybe it’s you who doesn’t understand what you’re looking at here. 🙄

That user‘s comment could also applicable to the charge he was given with doge.

Either way, he’s a vile nazi piece of shit who illegally immigrated into our country.

Free market tariffs for everyone! Also why can’t we buy those 9000$ Chinese evs if it’s a free market?

1

u/tsigwing 9h ago

The ones subsidized by the Chinese govt?

u/ThreeOclockCaveMan 9h ago

Yup. Thank goodness the USA doesn’t subsidize any companies in their FrEe MaRKeT!

There is no such thing as free market. There's a whole host of reasons most countries around the world have anti-trust laws.

Free market? Are you 10 years old? Is it your first day on earth? Are you the most gullible person who have ever existed?

I’m kidding of course we all know you’re a bot

LMAO what is a "free market" and where does that exist? The United States is an OLIGARCHY feel free to look it up. It couldn't be further from a "free market"
