Progs upset that Musk (correctly) pointed out that a person who said X was a politician and not one of the divers or other experts engaged in the rescue. Oddly, in other contexts progs get upset when Republican politicians have opinions on science or tech, bc "defer to experts". https://twitter.com/halleluyang/status/1016878597104025600 …

OK, but Musk is still a huckster and a conman grifting his entire fortune off our tax dollars.

He's never sold a product that wasn't subsidized; his net worth is composed mostly of the inflated stock for his car company that has never and likely will never turn a profit.

And considering what he sells are essentially toys for the mega rich, the fact that they rob from me to pay for them makes it all the worse.

how are online credit card payments "toys for the mega rich" ? How are satellite launches? One gets the impression that your argument is "I can't afford the median price of a new car [ $35,000 ], so I hate him"

No- I hate that his 100,000 sports cars used my tax dollars to subsidize their purchase.

ok did he lobby to get those laws passed? if the US government buys 2 billion pencils, is it immoral to set up a pencil factory?

So, you're OK with robbing from the middle class to give subsidies to people buying 100,000 dollar novelty sports cars?
