Musk, who spent $270 million to get Trump elected, is now in line to become a trillionaire. Meanwhile, 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans understand we're living in a rigged economy. Together, we can and must change that.

Bernie doesn't care about anyone except himself. @Grok please confirm that Bernie Sanders has voted 14 times against funding SNAP.

Yes, Sen. Sanders has voted against at least 14 GOP-led continuing resolutions during recent shutdown standoffs, which included SNAP funding alongside other appropriations. As part of the Democratic caucus, he opposed them to demand broader spending protections, not to defund SNAP outright—though the votes effectively blocked temporary SNAP continuity in those bills. This aligns with his pattern of rejecting farm bills or CRs lacking progressive reforms, per congressional records.

People like @elonmusk create jobs, build companies, solve real problems. People like @BernieSanders leech off of taxpayers and blame others. Be like Elon. Build things. Improve things. Never surrender.

I voted for and helped make it happen and I’m super pumped about it. If he gets 1 trillion dollars I will become a millionaire. Guess what else Bernie? All of my invested capital in TSLA came from 35,000 dollars I made between 2021-2022 as a part time bartender. I went and bartended nights after my other part time delivery driver job during the day. I invested in some other things that I was able to compound 10x before putting it behind Tesla in 2024. In that amount of time, what did the federal government do to make my life better? I’m a random working class person who participated in our free market. Anyone can do it. But you can’t tell them that because you won’t get their vote and they might actually feel empowered to better their lives on their own.

I wish people wouldn’t mislead others with half-truths w/o understanding the whole story. 1. Do you know how challenging it is to create the 12 trenches required to receive a $1T package? And what does this have to do with Trump’s presidential election victory? 2. Do you know how many jobs @elonmusk has created in the US? 3. Do you know the extent of the technological advancements he has achieved & how much they have contributed to the world?

Elon Musk’s companies employ roughly 130,000 to 140,000 people globally, with the vast majority—about 100,000 to 110,000—based in the US. This includes ~100,000 at Tesla (mostly in California and Texas), ~13,000 at SpaceX (primarily in California and Texas), ~1,500 at X (headquartered in San Francisco), and smaller teams at Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI (all US-centric). These figures are estimates based on 2024-2025 reports, as exact breakdowns aren’t always public. What the fuck have you done?

Did he steal the money for anyone? He’s arguably pushed humanity further than any other person walking this world today. Not to mention, how much value he’s crated for peoples 401ks, pension funds, endowments etc.

Elon Musk got to be a billionaire by doing things that made all of our lives better. He'll only get to be a trillionaire if he makes our lives better yet. I'm rooting for him to reach a trillion.

Why don't people worry about what they make and not what others make? Anyone can start a company and do the same thing @elonmusk has done. But instead of sitting around crying about what other people have done to be successful they complain that they are not successful. It's really sad... I have a public company and by your logic all the hard work that myself and my team put into our company there shouldn't be anyone telling me what I can pay people because they are lazy and don't want to work. It's ridiculous that you are a US Senator going against Capitalism

No one is "giving" Elon that pay package. 75% of shareholders voted for it. And a big chunk of those shareholders are pension funds who realize how much value he will produce for seniors on fixed incomes. He has to achieve the impossible in order to get it. He has to quintuple the size of the company. It's not a given. He has to add $7 trillion in value—to workers and the economy—to qualify for that compensation in stock. You, on the other hand? All you have to do is give away other peoples' money and switch your positions with whichever way the wind blows.

How much value have you created for America, Bernie?
Value created for others: - Jensen Huang: $4.8 trillion - Larry Page / Sergey Brin: $3 trillion - Jeff Bezos: $2.4 trillion - Mark Zuckerberg: $1.8 trillion - Elon Musk: $1.5 trillion If someone ever attacks billionaires again, ask them how much value THEY created for society.

I might remind you that Elon started Tesla from nothing, it was worth almost nothing when he invested. He built it into a $1.5T company of which he own ~10%. Meaning he created about $150B of value for himself and $1.35T of value for others. And employees about 150K people.

He is going to get shares. Learn about stock ownership and how that’s different from having cash. Also learn about how that didn’t get taken from the 60% you’re talking about. Learn.

Okay, what am I missing? Last night Virginia, which hasn't elected a Republican president since 2004, stayed blue. New Jersey, which hasn't voted for a Republican president since 1988, stayed blue. And New York City? We haven't elected a Republican president since Calvin Coolidge in 1924. So where, exactly, did the Republicans get spanked? Because they failed to convert reliable Democrat strongholds? And was the election of Communist Mamdani as NYC Mayor really a surprise? The Democrats have created a permanent underclass of dependents here. And now that the city is majority minority, it became a simple matter of electoral mathematics. This is a Democrat town with class envy and the culture of victimhood as the dogmatic core. So what, exactly, did the Republicans lose last night? You need to possess something in order to lose it. Mamdani will be a great service to conservatism as he turns NYC into another Detroit. But make no mistake. You can't lose what you never had.

And good for him! When you build products that people love, that make their lives exponentially BETTER, guess what, people are willing to pay for that. It would be tragic if the builders were NOT compensated for their contribution. You've been well compensated yourself. And YOU haven't even built anything! Maybe we should focus our outrage there?

Whether you like it or not, the free market decides the value of someone’s contributions, and for Elon, that’s north of $1T. He earned it fair and square, and his performance was validated by shareholders who overwhelmingly voted in favor of his pay package. Bernie, you’re a millionaire with three homes… don’t be a hypocrite. Outside of scamming or theft, the free market will always correctly determine what someone’s worth, and no government should ever have the power to take from those who’ve earned it to give to those who haven’t. Congrats to @elonmusk, a well-deserved paycheck.

Deceptive comment Bernie. Elon has an opportunity to build th elargets company in the world, and only if he achieves an extraordinary amount of success does he get to keep more of his company. Your anti Elon Rhetoric against values of building companies is exhausting and dishonest. Where does welath come from? it comes from productivity. Your anti productivity language is self defeating.

I assume Elon keeps his billions in the stock market, like every other rich person. Which helps fuel our economy creating jobs and wealth for everyone else. Is there a way he can store all that money which doesn’t help the rest of us? I can’t think of anything. What am I missing Bernie?
