@sleepyy80 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk This is the propaganda i keep pointing out, u believe anything the left tells you, inflation is money printing. Countries that printed had inflation, those that didnt, didnt. Trump printed a ton, might have got away with it but then biden went nutz

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Countries all over the world were struggling during and after Covid. The U.S. was one of the fastest to recover under Biden. Sure we would’ve recovered regardless, but seems like it would’ve taken longer without the stimulus Biden gave, meaning more businesses would’ve closed.

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Not sure if any particular president *caused* the crisis. Housing isn’t keeping up with population growth. It’s complicated and multi factorial. A lot of policies that maybe could fix these issues are either very controversial or are outright unpopular from what I understand.

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk I didn’t say there was a recession related to the business cycle. But there was a recession. The Covid lockdowns started under Trump and Biden continued them. You could disagree with whether the lockdowns were worth the economic effects, but that’s a separate issue

@sleepyy80 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk For one, the big one, is biden was trying to get out of recession. There was no recession related to the business cycle. There was a forced political closure of the economy then a reopening. That set the table for many of the un affordability problems we now face

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Really? Nothing I said is factual? Dismissing all claims you don’t like as propaganda is lazy. Is there any claim I made about the fact of the matter that is false or outright not factual? What about what I said is wrong?

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Thats not really relevant to any of the claims I made. There is a difference between the debt and the deficit. Obama served 8 years. The deficit is a yearly measure. Obama lowered the deficit from what he inherited.

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Tbf Trump’s first term’s increase in deficit was also mostly Covid related. But it still was hugely increased as a result of the huge tax cuts he pursued. Trump raised the deficit by 400 billion prior to Covid through tax cuts and increased discretionary spending

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk What about that is “just propaganda”? Trump with Iran and bush did Iraq.They & Reagan, are all known for tax cuts. Obamas increase in deficit was healthcare related & he & Biden also were attempting trying to get out of inherited recessions.Wordcount so this is oversimplified

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Obama actually lowered the deficit he inherited by the time he left office. He inherited it at 1.4 trillion (recession related spending) but when he left office it was at 585 billion.Which I think drives a pretty stark contrast with Trump despite obamas reputation re: the deficit

@sleepyy80 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk Thats just propaganda but i’m against both repub and dem deficit spending, especially during economic expansion, in the past it was used more as a tool to get us out of recessions

@luckbeatsskill2 @NKY_Leftist @elonmusk True, but there’s a point when dems increase it. Healthcare is arguably a direct investment back into the us’s human capital. Infrastructure investments also serve long term economic goals. Latest repub presidents increased it through huge tax cuts to the wealthy & war.

There is no reason to think "the future is autonomous". Niche market, undercutting cabs isn't a great business model. 98% of people who get free trials of FSD don't pay for it at the end. Half of the people who pay for it, don't use it. 60% of the general population doesn't trust FSD and/or thinks it should be outlawed. Vast majority of drivers will never give up driving their own cars. The FSD fanatics are a VERY small microcosm of drivers - likely lazy, greedy, stupid people who think their car is going to make them rich.

Very sad to get the email from tesla for the end of production of the model s and x, two best vehicles of all time. It saddens me this is happening, the EV business is a great business and although the future may be autonomous, it might take some time. $tsla

@elonmusk Except Republicans (the people you support btw) always explode the deficit while the Democrats reduce it.

@elonmusk yeah its uniparty spending but lets be real, we voters keep rewarding it with reelections. stat that stops me: interest payments now rival the defense budget. my take after watching both sides, its incentives not ideology. what fix actually sticks this time?

@elonmusk Elon Musc got ran out of DC and then failed to make his own party because his political ideas are based on biases. Had he applied his business style to it focusing purely on advancing humanity- maybe he would have succeeded instead of being reduced to complaining
