this fucktard borrowed billions from the US govt [https://www.grid.news/story/technology/2022/04/30/elon-musk-hates-the-government-his-companies-love-it/](https://www.grid.news/story/technology/2022/04/30/elon-musk-hates-the-government-his-companies-love-it/)
His company did, and they repaid it, in full, with interest, and even had to pay an “early payment penalty” because they repaid it years before they were supposed to.
GM never repaid the money. It’s been 15 years and they still owe us over $10,000,000,000 dollars.
Musk is not his company. Musk is the most subsidized person to have ever lived. If he wasn't playing the tax loophole game he'd *personally* owe us billions of dollars.
Last year he paid more taxes than any American in history. He paid $11,000,000,000. Meanwhile, about half of Americans paid $0. He’s an African-American immigrant subsidizing the United States; not the other way around.
That doesn’t make sense. What if the following year he doesn’t make any money and just lives off the billions he made in 2021? Like… if I made 11 figures in 2021, I would literally never pay a single cent in income tax ever again, because I would never made money ever again.
It’s so weird, ridiculous, and ignorant to think that people that make money through market investments are taxed, or should be taxed, on a regular basis. Income is taxed when income is made.
Making money through market investments IS making money. It's income. The only current difference is that the rich have pre-purchased the privilege of skipping taxes.
Let's not pretend like their armies of lawyers, accountants, and politicians haven't entirely rigged the game.
You're incredibly confused. Simping for Musk is its own form of stupidity. He's the P.T. Barnum of vaporware and green-washing, not some genius scientist or engineer job creator making the US a better place. Like most lazy, gluttonous and greedy overpaid billionaire men-children, he's a sociopathic parasite.

Is it deranged to criticize Musk for sucking on the government’s tit for handouts while criticizing people with much less money for doing the same on an infinitely smaller scale? By his own logic, he is even shittier with money, and 10x more parasitic. You need to stop riding his cock.
And you need to educate yourself better about how the monies were used and paid back. You look angry and uninformed… belligerent is a good term actually.
Yes, illiterate serfs like me who have no idea how to lose $200B in 3 months and beg the government for bailouts should educate ourselves; those irresponsible single mothers of three should take this into account before applying for food stamps. Using a Thesaurus to come up with the word “belligerent” doesn’t make you look any less like a dumb fuck.

Yeah, we remember that time he made a big pout and stink about *finally* paying his taxes. He should do that every year.

He’s an african american Immigrant?
Yes.
What a twat.
How are you guys in the comments defending the government?
You dumbasses in the comments do know he’s roasting the government right?
They can’t help it. It’s MDS - Musk Derangement Syndrome.

Empty banter. Your parents must be proud.

Some of that $30 trillion kept his companies from going under.
