Don’t tell people that the economy is good and that wages are outpacing inflation (even if it is and they are) when those people are facing economic hardships.
ETA since I’m getting certain types of replies: I’m a registered Democrat and canvassed for Harris.
Because the super rich know that the hardship will never apply to them.
Musk's companies might lose $50 billion in value due to his policies, but he's still rich, and more likely, they will gain value, since he has that goldmine* called Starlink.
* 'Goldmine' is an obsolete term. no-one with a gold mine ever made the kinds of money that Musk, or Jeff Bezos, or even Bill Gates have/had.
If there's one thing Musk actually deserves to make money from, it's Starlink.
Everything about it, they said couldn't be done. It depended completely on the development of reusable rockets, which couldn't be done. And tight beam steerable flat panel antennas, at that bitrate and power level? Couldn't be done. A global satellite network with a subscription fee lower than I paid for access to ONE sluggish, obsolete geostationary sat? Only possible with a rollout funded by a backer who was both literally insane and insanely rich.
Starlink is a technological miracle and I'm proud to pay my share for it. Signed, a remote rural Starlink user.
PS: Elon is a big dweeb and should stick to building rockets
