The Musk Report Vol 5

The Musk Report Vol 5

~The Musk Report-

Serutinizing the Inscrutable

How Elon Musk's 544 billion deal to buy
Twitter could've helped the U.S. instead:

fl] ly

ats a ore hid
ph = 7

H you can buy Twitter for $44 billion,
‘why can't you pay your fair share?

This appears to be a very popular sentiment these
days. But when you think about it, it really does seem
kind of absurd.

Is there anyone out there who really believes they can
guilt Elon Musk into doing anything. | don’t know what
his agenda is, and the more | read about people trying
to guess at it, the less interest | actually have.

Yeah, sure, he could do all of these great and won-
drous things with his money for sure. But how is it
all of a sudden his responsibility? The US government
could do all kinds of amazing things if everybody was
fairly taxed, and all those wondrous things are really
the government's responsibility.

I'm not a big fan of Elon Musk. He is a union busting
capitalist hog of the highest order. But he's not
responsible for the total health and well being of the
country. The country needs to grow a pair and start
making people like Musk pay their fair share of taxes.
And quit all the bitching about rich. It’s so futile.
