Morphine Prince 109,712 Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 https://twitter.com/kamalahq/status/1851658262786998508?s=46&t=FnKaONijoi6hM_10apXVGA At a virtual town hall event Friday held on Musk’s social media platform, X, the multibillionaire Tesla and SpaceX executive said he was “praying for a victory” for Trump, so he could begin working in a high-level Cabinet role to axe federal spending. “We have to reduce spending to live within our means,” Musk said. “And, you know, that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.” Many economists agree that Trump’s economic and fiscal proposals could spark an economic calamity, though it is not clear whether they have considered, or given credence, to Musk’s calls for austerity.

The elite can't even comprehend what 'living within our means' actually means. Nearly 40 million Americans already live in poverty– over 10% of the country. A LOT of people simply cannot reduce spending any further without basically letting themselves be exposed to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,896 Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 We do need to live within our means, but that means RAISING taxes on people like him to levels like they were in the 1950's. We have a deficit because we continue slashing taxes on rich assholes like Elon. We can keep spending at current levels AND lower the deficit by returning 70% and 90% tax brackets.

Shadow 6,697 Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 Elon needs to lead by example and share the hardship proportionally or he'll remain a hypocrite selfishly helping his own interests and ego. Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until now they've been saying it would only be positive. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
