Trump sugar daddy Musk: Tax cuts for me, 'hardship' for thee

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Multibillionaire Elon Musk, who is currently spending millions to help elect Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said Americans will face “hardship” if cuts to government spending are made in a possible Trump presidency.

Musk made the comments during a virtual town hall meeting held by his political action committee, America PAC.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means,” Musk said. “That necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.”

Musk is worth an estimated $270 billion and has been floated as the possible head of a “government efficiency” commission under Trump. In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Trump praised Musk as “a great cost cutter.”

1. Eloon is a terrible public speaker

Mostly inarticulate and sounds like an adolescent druggie

5. "Sounds like"

You have proof that he isn't?

2. And when they awoke, the incels found the planet destroyed...

...unable to sustain life or the pursuit of game tokens; while Elon Musk had rocketed his pimply ass and a very small army of tethered servants to Mars.

3. Musk is running the old Nazi "useless eaters" line...

...just with a little better marketing angle, as even MAGA chuds know you can't use that term overtly anymore. Eloon even has carved out an exemption for himself as heroic job-creator and defense contractor, so that he won't be a victim of this radical fiscal austerity--just everyone else, whom he characterizes as "takers" and "dependents".

This is the inevitable result of 40-plus years of deregulation, "voodoo economics", and the coddling of far-right "think" tanks and their moronic policy prescriptions.

6. I no longer remember the exact name of the news show, but

Charles Gibson was the anchor … it was a late night thing … and he would wax poetic every time he had someone from the American Enterprise Institute on his program. One night, he had Studs Terkel on ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studs_Terkel ) and Terkel was so awesome and articulate … Gibson looked at him incredulously and said “ well, you’re just an old lefty, aren’t you?” and dismissed everything that was said.

I hated that walking piece of human waste from that moment forward.
