Also I may not be processing these messages in the right order on my cell phone. Might be adding to the confusion. I’ll try to pull them together on a different device perhaps. Apologies but I’ll try to stay at this part of the thread for focus.

Yes, I understand averages, English is my primary language, and I’ve completed all basic college level calculus(I-III) courses, discrete math, linear algebra, etc for CS. (Btw please don’t take a delay in reply as me dropping. We’re discussing dinner and have guests over.)

I appreciate that! Let’s start with the original claim from the meme? Explain please how the tax levied against Musk would be sufficient.

This year since it includes the 2024 numbers.

Those are numbers paid out. The original assertion claims taxing one billionaire would’ve given us a surplus for 75 years while increasing everyone’s pay outs and eliminating their payments. Musk in his entire lifetime hasn’t been worth one years of payouts.

Wikipedia also supports this by extrapolating. It was neatly $1.3 Trillion in 2022 then it breaks down the increases in benefits and the projected increases in receivers across groups.

The official government Social Security Fact Sheet has this data in the first line.

Google Gemini text with references.

In 2025, Social Security is projected to pay out approximately $1.6 trillion to an average of nearly 69 million.

Max monthly retirement benefit in 2025 is $5,108.
Avg monthly benefit (70): $4,018
Avg monthly benefit (62): $2,831

Yes. Gemini AI with sources shows it’s even more for 2025 at $1.6 trillion. Here’s a screenshot and I’ll post the reference links.

That’s ridiculous mathematically. Mistral AI estimates $1.4 TRILLION was paid out in 2023 alone.

Not discounting for EV credits:

$120,000 Founders Edition
+ $12,000 - $24,000 (to inflate by up to 20%)
= $132,000 - $144,000

+$5,000 transported across country by a top tier company at the maximum distance (not insurance eligible)

< $150,000

We’re still well under the claimed price.

Founder’s Edition $120,000

The Cyberbeast is the most expensive model of the Cybertruck and it’s $99k. Sure that’s crazy but not what’s claimed in the OP. Also I’ve seen legit complaints about the Cybertruck on YouTube that don’t match anywhere near this claim.

Cybertrucks don’t cost that much — even the beast model.

Same as on X since BlueSky shared design elements till ~2023 when the algos split. You might want to add other words too if you want full silence like MAHA, MAGA, Starlink, Tesla, SpaceX, etc.

😊 All we get to see is that you replied to a "blocked post". Censorship is lame. X ftw
