Elon Musk, Success and Hate

There are no moderate Dems, they are all extreme, radical, far, far left lunatics now.  Their sole message for decades has been a woeful story of victims, oppressed, oppressors, all driven by immutable factors–your skin color, your gender, your ethnicity and so on.  They don’t care about hard work or innovation.  In fact, they hate success, especially in America because they essentially hate America.  These are miserable, mentally ill, self-loathing people.  So of course, they hate Elon Musk and they particularly hate the wealth he has generated.

Elon is an immigrant, so you would think that would endear him to the Dems, but then he was a legal immigrant from South Africa, so he starts out with counts against him.  He came here with nothing.  He learned computer programming and engineering.  He built multiple successful companies, from scratched.  Along the way he has created thousands and thousands of well-paying jobs.  He has taken little salary and relied solely on making money from creating value.  If his companies were not successful, he would make nothing.  If you believe the global warming hysteria, Tesla has done as much as any company to limit the use of fossil fuels, but even that can’t spare him the Dems wrath.

Space X is a phenomenal company, again built from nothing, creating a very cheap and reliable method of getting satellites into orbit, bringing internet access to places where there was none and becoming invaluable to the US military and space program.  It has a strong artifical intelligence arm and a robotics division which should be very successful.  After several rounds of private financing, Elon has taken the company public.  This has created enormous wealth, but only on paper.  Liquidating that wealth to actual cash will take decades and require that SpaceX achieve incredibly stretched objectives.

This isn’t just Elon’s wealth; he is making thousands of employees into millionaires, just as occurred with Microsoft and many other successful companies.  He is making huge amounts of money for his institutional investors like pension funds that cover millions of workers.  What he has done as an individual for the American economy is unmatched.  He works in the tradition of a Ford, an Edison, a Carnegie, a Vanderbilt, even a Gates.  These people are heroes, they should be celebrated every day.

But in the land of Warren, Sanders, Mandami, AOC, Platner and all the other idiots, most of whom are themselves wealthy, but didn’t earn it–they inherited it or stole it from the public–Musk is demonized and hated.  People can talk all they want about toning down the rhetoric, but the whacked Dem party leaders are the enemy of American prosperity and success, they would turn us into Britain economically and China as an rigid ideological authoritarian state.  They are the facists and the Nazis.  They must be fought with every shred of our being and I hope Elon turns billions of his wealth to that task.
