    Who exactly in America did it cost that? 🤔🤔

    And it’s not like “costing” means they pay out any money, and $700 million is a drop in the ocean of billions if not trillions the economy churns over daily, so it’s more of just the same - privatise profits, socialise losses, and blame the victim as a bonus just for shits and giggles…

      Yeah that’s what I was thinking, it’s a fraction of a percent of musk net worth. And like his net worth, those 700 million are theoretical. Weird journalism honestly.

        Also, those people being out and traveling is stimulating the market by the extra money they’re spending.
