1. Wouldn’t he be part of the problem though?

2. Oh no, hopefully billionaires in their amazing generosity will help equilibrating the situation

3. He should donate some money monthly to the government to save it.

4. Tax the rich.

5. He’s paper-thin transparent in that Tesla desperately needs low interest rates because they’re the epitome of a zombie corp and won’t survive without them. He knows that the best way to sell it is to make it seem like “America needs it” when it’s really because it’s what he needs… and if he can get Trump elected then there’s a really good chance that he’ll get his rock bottom interest rates once again.

6. Maybe Elon and his ilk should pay his taxes instead of all of us subsidizing him? That would help a lot.

7. Lol looks like someone took a credit on stock that just took a plunge and now is crying because he’ll have to pay

8. Elon’s a ding dong. We do have a serious problem, but he’s still a ding dong.

9. of all the people to report on who said this, why choose elon musk

10. Must be nice knowing he can go to Canada or South Africa when things bottom up.

12. Tax the billionaires! Problem solved.

13. without spending on US military, healthcare and aging costs, the budget would be fine

    those are the 3 black holes to solve
