    And this illegal billionaire will not suffer any repercussions whatsoever. If that was me, I’ll be in prison just by the thought of it.

    “Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.”

        Musk is a fascist evil villain, not a conservative. He is also not liked much by the conservatives I know.

        One day I want the word conservative to go back to what is used to mean decades ago. Conservative used to not mean whatever is happening now

          It never meant anything good. It was always about oppressing minorities and enriching the owner class.

            What are you talking about? Conservative used to just mean people who wanted to protect and conserve the American way of life and the American political and economic systems… Which oppress minorities and enrich the owner class lol

          No, they don’t. It’s a big club we aren’t in, but billionaires will step on other billionaires if they can make more billions.

          That’s why a lot of the financial industry billionaires keep their mouths shut and their businesses follow the same rule. Having a big mouth is the best way for another billionaire to find a way to profit off of running their mouths.

          The only time “they both win” is if one wins more than they would stepping on the other.

          They only have class solidarity when it comes to the poors. They have no loyalty to each other.
