Who has taken more govt money…Elon or PBS?

[OddBeMe]

just a quick google search….500m of grants to Elon.

Elon

PBS

[goaded]

I was surprised to see an article claiming Musk was correct in my search. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a conservative rag hiding behind a fake name. The "bias" Trump claims is simply truth-telling.

"The Conservative Tribune is an extreme right news and opinion website previously found at conservativetribune. com. Currently, they are under the westernjournal. com/CT domain. The CT does not have an about page. However, their Facebook page provides this description: “Conservative Tribune by WJ is a media/news company founded to counteract the mainstream media and establishment elites’ open bias against traditional conservatism, capitalism, and the U. S. Constitution."

[OddBeMe]

So npr has to be independent but Elon can receive 38 billion in govt grants?

[goaded]

It should be independent, and it is. As was Voice of America, which Trump's regime are now turning into pro-Trump propaganda with OANN "talent".

Musk has taken far more from the government than they ever cost, and some of that's the reason Tesla was ever successful.

[WindAtMyBack]

No idea and don't care. You are comparing apples to oranges. Musk is a government contractor. The government gets something in return. NPR is a freebie. Also consider that Musk has paid one hell of a lot of taxes, possibly more than he's ever gotten from them.

[DrPepper12]

"Possibly" is gonna break under the weight your asking it to bear...

[WindAtMyBack]

@DrPepper12

Not sure what you mean by that. I just know that Musk has paid one hell of a lot of taxes. I'd be surprised if he's gotten anywhere near that much from government contracts.

[Danzigdawson]

Seriously, will that asshole ever shut the fuck up?

[exitseven]

PBS. They have been funded for decades. Billions of dollars.

[DrPepper12]

All well spent. An investment

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 It was a good investment by denocrats. Look at the result
images.ctfassets.net/.../importedImage170960_header

[OddBeMe]

@exitseven actually nor or pbs have only received a total of 545 million over their span.

Meantime Elon has received 38 Billion.

[exitseven]

If Elon received anything it was to fulfill a contract. PBS gets a freebee to lie to the public.

[Dongie]

Who has employed more people? Elon or the begging through telethones PBS?

[Dongie]

Hey Odd,
How about that rescue from space by Elon Musk? NASA has been around over 60 years and couldn't pull it off.

[exitseven]

@dongie I bet Bert and Ernie could have done it

[Dongie]

You think so? Who's rocket would they use? Not NASA's.

[OddBeMe]

Illegals have 10x better track record of work ethic.

[Dongie]

lol To hard to admit that Elon has employed probably thousands more and at better pay. But you don't mind saying he's received more money. That's the 🐓💩 way!

[OddBeMe]

As his companies die from incompetence

[Dongie]

Go sit in the corner, oddball. We do not wish I'll upon others... unless they're liberal democrats.

[Dargil]

Elon has earned his money and also benefitted from subsidies. He has taken nothing.

[OddBeMe]

He has taken subsidies he bought from congress.

[Dargil]

He took nothing. He persuaded congress and accepted grants. I know you wouldn't because you are too pure.

[OddBeMe]

Persuaded? How? Superpac money?

[Dongie]

Hehe, that's rich, Dargil!

[Dargil]

Do your homework.

[DrPepper12]

Elon is an illegal immigrant con man thief broligarch fascist white nationalist

[exitseven]

he is a patriot.

[DrPepper12]

"Elon is an illegal immigrant con man thief broligarch fascist white nationalist"

To you that's a patriot? I'm beginning to see maga through your eyes now...

[Surely]

Please give us some concrete numbers. All that I kind find is several this or that.

[OddBeMe]

It was quite easy for me to look up. But I guess I'm educated

[Surely]

I am not to sharpest pencil in the box. So show me how well educated that you are. Show me the actual numbers instead of so and so got hundreds of millions/billions with no actual numbers!

[OddBeMe]

Sigh. NPR or pbs, the same thing, has collected received roughly 545 million. Elon received 38 billion in govt grants.

[Surely]

@OddBeMe Thank you! Now here is a question for you. Which one has given back more to the American taxpayer?
A subsidized news agency that has one sided news reporting on whatever the talking points are at the time. OR
Someone who has started to fulfill the Green New Deal agenda with a successful EV.
Someone that allowed the use of Starlink when regular communications were lost. During the south eastern storms.
Someone that just happened to have a rocket to rescue two astronauts. That president Biden probably forgot about.
Someone that employs American workers and has a successful business that states invest their retirement accounts into.
Probably pays tons in taxes on his businesses. But I am sure that he has smart accounting people. That reinvests in his business. As the tax laws allow.
Even with the vast difference in money. I feel that Elon was a better investment. With the returns that he has given the taxpayers.

[OddBeMe]

Please prove PBS is one sided.

[Surely]

Doing a little research. I can find about the same number of one sided political verses impartial reporting. Which I have better things to do than copy and paste for you.

[OddBeMe]

Sorry what?

[Twalli]

Musk doesn't need government money.

[DrPepper12]

False. It supports stock he uses as collateralized income.

[Twalli]

@DrPepper12 Musk is the richest person in the world and could lose over 100 million and still be more than financially solvent.

[OddBeMe]

Funny musk has taken 38 billion of govt grants.

[seeyounexttuesday]

grants for what, odd.

[OddBeMe]

Gee simple google.

“ Elon Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding over the past two decades, according to a Washington Post analysis.”

[seeyounexttuesday]

for what, dummy.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Who cares, my side is better than your side
