Just remember he's a carnival barking con man who made his billions off of taxpayer subsidies and only acts out of pure self interest. TSLA stock must be about to implode (aka come back to reality).

Capitalism is a system based on the premise that each person will act in their own self interest.  Nobody forces you to buy or produce/sell in a free market.

Saying a billionaire has been doing that should not be seen as an insult, as you and I do the same thing when we buy and sell stuff.

I also say, if you can figure out a legal way to pay less in taxes, then more power to you.   :thumbsup:  Taxes are a form of theft, and the things our representatives spend it on seem to benefit others outside the US and illegal US residents way too often,

The government giving certain individuals billions of dollars to prop up their failed businesses is not capitalism.

You and I think a lot alike!

If the subsidies are legal, then the problem is with the tax law, not the businessman.

If Congress offered you a chance to pay zero tax this year, would you pay anyway?

He called it. SpaceX flight attendant accuses him of sexual harassment. Funny the media didn't mention anything during the entire metoo movement. Guess cause he switched teams.

He also announced he is for stricter background checks though in favor of the right to own guns as a check against tyranny.
