    Elon made most of his money through companies that heavily rely on government subsidy. He is now funneling this money to someone who will control government contracts. Do not mistake the US for a democracy. It is an oligarchy.

            No, it’s purely a coincidence that all of the Republicans want to go back to the 1950s, which heavily benefited from massive unionization, massive government-supplemented programs, the ABC departments, the Green New Deal, The highest tax rates this country has ever seen…
