Musk (@elonmusk) started Tesla with a huge U.S. government welfare grant. He has taken taxpayers to the cleaners for his factories and for Starlink. He is a gigantic corporate welfare king masquerading as a capitalist businessman. -R
Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
Neither Tesla or SpaceX (Starlink) have ever received federal grants. They have, however, received government loans, contracts, tax credits, and subsidies. (businessinsider.com/elon-musk-list…) This is not unusual for a large business, and especially not for a green energy or rocket launching business. (investopedia.com/ask/answers/06…)

Hillary Clinton, the butcher of Libya and neighbors, backer of the criminal Iraq war-slaughter, and lucrative toady of Wall Street, now blasts Bernie Sanders, who opposed all the above, and campaigned for her in 2016, before she gave America Trump. Disgraceful! -R

The plunge in the stock market based on Trump’s announcement of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada was suddenly reversed when he paused for a month. The market then surged back. This is the first of many vast insider trading opportunities for the Trumpsters who get advance notice

Given Netanyahu's deliberate destruction of a number of large apartment buildings in Beirut with U.S. made bunker busting bombs that caused hundreds of civilian casualties, it's important to recall these two points of history:

Stage 2 of Israel’s genocidal war is emerging. Mass graves are being discovered. Torture of abducted Palestinian hostages thrown in Israeli prisons and reports of selected human organ extractions from fresh Palestinian corpses in Gaza. Intelligent agencies report all this in

Hamas abducted 240 or so hostages on October 7th. Since then, Israel has kidnapped over 8000 Palestinians and sent them, without charges, to a concentration prison in the Negev desert. Even Israeli doctors are describing the horrors and the tortures in that remote place. Aren’t

Biden is the triple BBB candidate. The Big Business-War Machine Biden. He's carried water for big banks, credit card companies against student loans. He ran with corporate trade deals emptying out jobs in America's heartland. He covers for Delaware's notorious corporate havens -R

Over 200,000 Palestinians—not 35,000—have already died since October. This is based on nearly 100,000 bombs and missiles directly on civilians, without food, water, medicine, electricity, healthcare and World Health casualty projections starting last October. The 35,000 official

American doctors and health workers back from Gaza have begged President Biden to authorize the airlifting of severely burned and mutilated children in Gaza for treatment at ready and willing hospitals in the U.S. Biden and the White House has declined to respond. How cruel. -R

A dictatorial, unelected majority in the Supreme Court has just rendered America a dictatorial president above the law. Thank you Hillary Clinton, whose blundering campaign let the dictatorial Trump become president and led to a rightwing dictatorial majority on the Supreme
