Elon Musk has received at least $38 BILLION dollars in government loans, subsidies, tax credits and government contracts and it’s a huge reason why he’s the richest man in the world.
One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."
Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.
This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Time wake up to our new reality and get serious and real fast.
The rest of us in NATO and the democratic West can no longer count on the US.
Indeed, if the US withholds intelligence as a political cudgel, we are all subject to blackmail.
This is existential.
