Again. This is bad journalism. It’s not lost, it’s “lost.”
IN A MONTH.
4 years of months left to go.
Maybe next time people can get off their fat fucking asses and vote. Or, if you did vote, maybe vote more intelligently next go around.
If we’re even allowed to vote ever again.
Hmm, I wonder where it went /s
Correction - they efficiently lost half a trillion dollars for the USA
He also lost nearly a trillion dollars for Tesla. Tells the Tesla employees to keep their stock, hinting at how great things are and how much better they will be soon, and then the entire c-suite sells off around a hundred million in stock…
Elmo really is the best of all humans… At evaporating the wealth of others
I’ve said this for nearly s decade now, Elmo is a lyoni scammer who got lucky, that is all
“He got lucky” is another way to also say that, as terrible as he is at everything he does, including hiding it, the people who give him literally anything are always clamouring to prove just how stupid they can be by simping for him at every turn.
They’re very efficient at destroying the country.
This was always the plan.
They all need to be jailed.
i don’t see any point to keeping these people alive.
At least with musk himself it would be grand to see him spend his life in a padded cell with nothing to do and bland food.
i’m not interested in punishment. only solutions.
I’m for both to be honest.
Hanged by their bootstraps
How much did they allegedly “save”…when corrected for their basic mathematical errors?
So now DOGE has removed all these costs, will Americans not have to pay any taxes anymore? That’s the conservative claim right? That taxes paid for all this stuff and Liberals were taxing everyone super high for it…
…so now taxes drop to zero for EVERYONE? Right?
Best I can do is drop the taxes on the rich. 👉👈🥺
oh, they’ll still have to raise taxes on the lower half of earners, strip essential services bare–if they continue to exist at all, and pile on trillions to the national debt for that.
adding debt is ‘free money’ to them. not like they gotta pay it back…
I enjoyed the “we gotta lower the national debt for our kids” which quickly converted into “we gotta raise the national debt and we’re going to go into more debt” all in the same month.
Yeah seriously what the fuck am I paying taxes for if there’s no government anymore?
I like taxes like I like my Costco membership. I get a better deal if I go in with others and buy in bulk. Even if I don’t use all the same goods and services as others.
Getting rid of corruption and grifters siphoning value out of a system is a much better goal than “saving money”
Tomorrow: IRS has been fired.
Fired? Sued for hurting Musky feelings.
No because IRS is helping capture immigrants
Why would you say “half” when you could say “500”?
500 Billion Dollars.
Doesn’t half a trillion sound like more than 500 billion? Even though 500 billion is already a lot?
No, “half” sounds like half. 500 of something sounds like more than half of something. (Yes, trillion > billion, we’re not debating the actual facts - which are the same either way - just the way it’s perceived in a headline)
Half of dinners. 500 meals. Half a car. 500 auto parts. Half of all dealerships. 500 independent dealers. etc.
none of your examples make sense. “trillion” has more gravity than “billion” in headlines. simple as that.
Wrong.
Ok
A trillion is larger than a billion, so half a trillion is a more rage bait headline.
Rage is the only reasonable response.
Humans can’t fathom the vast distances of space. How are we going to fathom a trillion dollars?
at least, in part.
500,000 millions
Pretty sure one trillion is a million millions.
Correct. I’m referring to the posts half a trillion.
I think it’s the opposite. We’re all used to “a billion” now, even thought we can’t really concieve of it the way we can, say $100. But a trillion is just space money. Just make it a gazillion.
500 Billion has real competitive traction - people are billionaires, this is more than them, etc. A trillion is something you have nanoparticles of, something very small.
“Billion”, sadly, is a term that nowadays conjures an individual human or corporate level figure.
“Trillion” is an economy level figure and suitably conjures an idea of how fucked up you all are.
IMHO.
it’s the direction the figure is no-doubt going. in six weeks, that estimate will be a lot higher.
‘half a trillion’ now is a very fair choice of wording.
Are we winning yet? Are we great?
Eggs now cost 4 cents per dozen
It ain’t fucking lost, it’s being re-distributed.
