Musk has burnt through $44 Billion. I'm sure even the government could have spent it better than he has
You overestimate governments. But a blind dog could've spent it much better.
... he said in a post on a worldwide network whose creation the US government originally funded.
Not for the purpose of giving it to the people.
They only said the government were capable of doing it, not that they would be motivated by pure benevolence
To be fair, of the 44B, they'd use 30b to blow up children's hospitals, give 13b to some rich fucks, 800m would disappear and the rest would fund something nice
Have you ever looked at US federal spending? 27% goes to healthcare, 21% goes to social security, 13% to income security, 13% to defense, then the rest is split between education, veterans benefits, transportation, and regional development/other.
I know people like to meme the government spending, but the majority goes to healthcare, elder care, and veterans.
I can't wait until Snowden resurfaces and shows us how much of that 27% healthcare actually goes to healthcare and how much is skimmed to line people's pockets.
The US healthcare industry massively over charges for everything, so they are skimming in plain sight.
Doesn't change that only 13% goes to the DoD, where a fraction may be used to blow up hospitals. Not 66% as the previous poster implied.
Yeah that also sounds likely
It was in reference to the government being capable of spending money better than Musk. The US government is 32 trillion dollars in debt.
Plenty of government employees wanted that very thing.
Including that Al Gore guy.
Via the same agency that created Agent Orange.
Fritz Haber invented synthetic fertilizers he also developed chemical weapons during ww1. Whats your fucking point? Lots of good things were created by terrible people and lots of terrible things were created by good people.
Hello, you called?
Who is this blind dog, and how can we make him president?! ๐โ๐ฆบ
They would have spent it on bombs and missiles, not on useful stuff.
Hey they would have bought a kid or two a book. Maybe.
But bombs and missiles "Made in USA", that's how the trickle down works, right? ๐ฆ๐ฝ
On a wrench.
