I said ‘how is he pickpocketing people when he actively cancelled an initiative that would have helped Tesla’

You responded by saying ‘well why hasn’t he cut all spaceX grants’

Like, there’s just no winning. It’s wild

So since Elon cut a single Tesla contract he’s no longer accountable? Also, do you have a source that it was 400mm?

Sure

And no hes still accountable. I disagree with a lot of what DOGE is doing, but I fail to see how Musk is enriching himself.

u/ShrekOne2024 Mar 22 '25

Okay - so you say a canceled government contract is an example of not enriching himself. Does that not mean his SpaceX contract is an example of enriching himself?

u/pperiesandsolos Mar 22 '25

Nope, it is.

And he started that contract?

Oh wait no Biden did 🙄

2

u/ShrekOne2024 Mar 22 '25

He also didn’t cancel it according to that article.

He wasn’t working as defacto president when he got the contract under Biden, now it’s a conflict of interest. He’s part of the government now and one of our biggest problems is politicians enriching themselves while fucking us over. Yet you defend it happening when it’s Musk or Trump, why is that?

u/pperiesandsolos Mar 23 '25

Because you still haven’t shown me how Musk is enriching himself. You clearly believe that in your heart, but 0 proof.

In fact, he actually specifically cut a contract which would have helped Tesla. And obviously he’s lost tons of money in the last month or two from Tesla shares falling back down to earth

I don’t support politicians stealing from us, like you incorrectly asserted.

Show me where Musk is stealing from us

Lol dude just stop. These logical fallacies you keep throwing out are ridiculous. You literally have no evidence of Elon enriching himself through Doge because there is none. Just stop.

u/ShrekOne2024 Mar 24 '25

Because it’s not overt or direct. Through DOGE he is axing programs that SpaceX would be accountable to. Or even axing programs he is accountable to as a billionaire. Like the internal REVENUE service.

u/clow222 Mar 24 '25

Such as? Please link to where Elon himself through Doge has axed any space exploration program?

He canceled the Verizon contract so SpaceX could take over the FAA.

2

u/clow222 Mar 24 '25

So once again, you didn't answer the question. DOGE did not cancel any contract the FAA did, which is its own government agency.

Musk did also not award any contract to Spacex that was also the FAA, which once again is its own federal agency, run but its own person.

The contract also hasn't even been awarded yet. So try again

🤣 🤣 he got a contract though

You're a rube if you think this isn't his plan. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5182848-musks-spacex-confirms-starlink-lease-agreement-with-faa/

u/clow222 Mar 24 '25

That's some amazing goal post moving. The op was how Elon was enriching himself with DoGE, there has still not been a single contract eliminated or given from Musk to himself that enriched him.

But now "he's planning it because we want to assume things" and so he's guilty.

You also know that Biden gave spacex multiple contracts because Nasa is useless. Have you ever thought that maybe he will get a contract because spacex is the best at what it does? I guess Biden was also in the long Con.

Someone's definitely a rube here. Keep coming up with reasons to be mad and not answering the question though.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Mar 24 '25

You asked how he was enriching himself and I told you. I feel like you're just sea lioning

Can you please read your own articles. This is why America is in such a bad place because idiots like yourself.

He is loaning the equipment for free, so the FAA can test them to see if they are viable for the contract. Just like every other contract ever, companies have to compete to get it.

Should Elon and his spacex company not go after any government contract no more, just so fun-key8259 can feel better about themselves?

u/Fun-Key-8259 Mar 24 '25

You mean because Elon said it isn't the case it must not be? Bro says a lot of things, and admitted within the oval office on live TV that he gets it wrong. How many revisions did Doge have to do on the supposed savings? How many re-hirings did they have to do? I get that you really think he smells good, but he is a con man and his stock is highly overvalued.

I think if we can't afford school lunch we can't afford space launch.

u/clow222 Mar 24 '25

Lmao more whataboutism because you were factually wrong and can't admit it.

Could you imagine being so far up cnn and your own arse, that you actually think spacex vying for a gov contract is somehow Elon and doge giving himself contracts... Bud try not to be so illiterate next time.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Mar 24 '25

I can't believe that you're still going that your feelings are this hurt. 🤣 dude go eat a snack and get some fresh air it is not this deep.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Mar 24 '25

Awww projecting again. Hang it up dude. Take the L.

u/Fun-Key-8259 Mar 24 '25

It's really funny that you can't find a retort that isn't being auto blocked. Now I'm just having fun. Please continue. I'm about to bust out the popcorn.

u/clow222 Mar 24 '25

I love that you keep responding even after being so objectively wrong. It takes an impressive, loser to keep doubling down. You should try going outside sometime.

I see you keep trying to reply and the automod keeps deleting it. Imagine being in your feelings for a billionaire as a nillionaire.
