That Elon Musk guy...

[Lionfish]

LOL. Says a billionaire troll trying to take over things.

The left didn't care that every single TV media is owned by billionaires, until a billionaire wanted to buy a social media company.

I wonder if Alexandria Occasional Cortex will sell her Tesla?

Does she even know how to drive? Come on, this is a woman that didn't know what a garbage disposal was...

Her Tesla is a statement. Fuck the kids who mined the lithium. The coal needed to recharge and the disposal of hazardous batteries.

Yeah, we do not have lithium batteries all over that damn place. Can you say lithium/ion? That was a shitty post. We have billions of batteries to deal with, her Tesla is not the cause of anything. her tesla cost 35 K.

Okay, so it's a statement about her vacuousness and shallow personality... I can accept that.

Elon Musk is a scumbag billionaire like the rest. Nobody is a self-made man; like Bezos and the rest, Elon built his wealth on the backs of the working class and hoards it all for himself.

Right out of Karl Marx.

There is no 'working class', dude. There are employees and employers. They are both producing products and services that people want to buy. They are both selling what they have voluntarily for someone to voluntarily pay for. They are both capitalism.

You are against government corruption, yet you offer up full support for Donald Trump who ran the most corrupt government in our lifetime. I would also like to see some examples of this creeping Communism you speak of.

Void argument fallacy. You can't even described the corruption. It is obvious you are intentionally ignoring the communism. Examples of it have already been shown to you.

Not communism, but certainly an attempt to change history and discard the calendar.

I knew you couldn't my dear, its just how FOS you are

You want examples of communism again? Okay:

* The Federal Reserve
* The covid19 vaccine mandates
* Solar power
* Wind power
* R134a refrigerant
* Obamacare
* Social security
* Medicare
* Automotive insurance mandates
* EV purchase mandates
* Nuclear power

Each case is government ownership of markets.

No Tesla cost $35k and there are thousands of individual batteries in each and every EV. The key word here is lithium, fuck the ion.

The classic American Dream has been dead for decades.

It's not dead yet, but Democrats are doing their level best to kill it.

Once upon a time, a man with a high school education could work 40 hrs and support a family, buy a decent house, and drive a decent car.

He still can.

Back then, wealth was distributed more fairly.

Back then, government didn't steal nearly as much of it for themselves.

Now, wealth is balanced towards the upper class and the working class is left suffering;

There is no 'working class'. You are quoting Karl Marx again.

two adults need to work full-time just to support one household,

No, they don't.

while CEOs make more now than they ever have. Free-market capitalism has gutted America.

It can't. Anyone that wants to provide a service or product voluntarily to sell to others voluntarily can do so.

But there are ways that we working class people

There is no 'working class'.

can reclaim some of the wealth we helped create.

It isn't yours to reclaim. You are talking about theft of wealth.

Personally, I invest 100% of my 401k in S&P500 index funds. I also max out my IRA, also 100% invested in SP500 index funds. The SP500 realizes an annual avg. of 10.5%, which means I'll be worth at least $2.5 million by retirement age.

Lousy investments these days.

(And we learned in 2008 that the SP500 is "too big to fail," so it's the safest bet in the stock market. If it fails, it means the entire US economy has failed, and at that point, no investment would have saved me.) In the near future, I plan on opening a taxable brokerage account to invest in more SP500 index funds with any extra cash I have beyond retirement investments.

The government can't save it.

The point is that we need to be proactive in reclaiming the wealth we created.

Theft is theft, dude.

Aggeessive investing is the only way to reclaim a piece of the money pie that we rightfully deserve.

Money is not wealth. Examples: Yen, Rubles, dollars, etc. Fiat money has NO inherent value at all.

Depending on politicans to magically fix the system -- to "make America great again" or whatever -- is a pipe dream that they use to gain votes.

Nope. It was happening until Democrats destroyed it.

Yet, once again you continue to support Donald Trump who gave us a massive increase in the size of communist government. That sweetheart makes no sense, and you continue to support Putin and Russia who comes about as close to Communism as you can get.

How was Trumps governance considered “Communist?”

From your previous post, it would seem that anything done by the Federal government would be considered Communist, yet I say again, that you supported the massive increase in government by the trump administration.

Actually, you're fucked by the ion too. That makes use of cobalt, and even harder to get material than lithium (and a big part of what makes the Li-ion battery so prone to fire). The current base price of a Tesla Model 3 is $46990. Source: Tesla Automotive Co.

No. FDR and Democrats gave us massive increase in the size of government. Communism is not a form of government.

Putin is not the people of Russia. I do not support him. Word stuffing. Buzzword fallacies.

You can't lay YOUR problems on anyone else, dude. They are YOUR problems. Inversion fallacy (projection).

Trump is a conservative. He is not communist or even a socialist.

The word 'communist' has no meaning for floridafan. He uses it as a general insult.
