@ClimateWarrior7 Very poor analogy Firstly, Musk has not taken all of the pie. Secondly, he has increased the pie and taken 20% of that increase leaving an additional 80%, 40% of which is taken by government who then waste most of it paying muppets like you.

I'll make a simple analogy that even right-wingers can understand. You make a pie. You want to give a slice of the pie to a Mexican of color who cleans your toilet, and you want to eat a slice of the pie yourself. Elon Musk comes along and takes all the pie and leaves you only with crumbs. HOW. IS. THIS. FAIR?

@garyseconomics Is your objective to reduce poverty or reduce inequality?

Why does The Economist hate wealth taxes?

@alison_mannion @andrewfeinstein Destroying private property and attacking police officers is exactly what is meant by thugs Hopefully, it will be a lesson to the others poorly educated souls.

@FurnessSmithC @andrewfeinstein It’s not terrorism either. They’re not thugs Our young people trying to help stop mass wipeout of innocent women & children being shot in the head for fun - that’s genocide in case you don’t know. Risking their futures for other people’s. That is humanity not terrorism 🇵🇸🙏

@awgaffney Which just confirms why you will never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions in taxes every year

By conservative estimates Elon Musk probably killed hundreds of thousands by taking a chainsaw to global health programs. He’s not a visionary, he’s a dimwit and a monster.

@TheAliceSmith If band aid and live aid ended hunger in africa how come it still has hunger and poverty Someone is lying

If Elon Musk just gave away his trillion, he could end hunger and poverty in Africa, just like Band Aid and Live Aid did.

@PeterTatchell That just explains why you will never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions in taxes every year

Top 200 families in UK own the equivalent of 22% of GDP - £3 TRILLION Billionaires use creative accounting to pay only 25% income tax (most of us pay 40-50%) Time for a #WealthTax 2% on assets over £10 million raises £24 BILLION every year for NHS theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@comrade_pabs Which shows that your will never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions of taxes every year

To become rich from curing cancer, you have to withhold the cure from people suffering and dying from cancer. So yes, you don't deserve to get rich from curing cancer. Only in an exploitative and unethical system is this seen as acceptable.

@DavidTaylor85 Only made possible by brexit Someone is lying!

Tens of thousands of new jobs and £18 billion+ in economic gains thanks to our new agreements with Japan!🇯🇵 As Prime Minister Takaichi visits Downing Street, Japanese and UK business leaders will also join roundtable on opportunities for economic growth. Here's what it means 👇🏻

@MarcoFoster_ @Mcbeath_on_sea @KyleKulinski Apart from your own ignorance, you will clearly never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions in taxes every year

Kyle Kulinski: “Elon Musk is a parasite, he’s a welfare queen, he’s stolen $38B from US taxpayers to do fraud and make a bunch of dumbass rockets explode instantly. This guy’s a ketamine addict, he’s a fucking Nazi, he’s a genuine low IQ dipshit and total con man. And now he’s worth $1T”

@nw_nicholas Getting 4 years for the destruction of property does not seem too harsh. The objective is to act as a deterrent. Stupid people need to be given a bigger warning.

Imagine being charged & convicted of shoplifting & the judge sentences you as though you had committed armed robbery. #Filton4

@PrfChrisPainter And yet the constraints were better than in 2010. The problem is that there is no one in labour who is economically literate

The constraints and challenges under which the Starmer Premiership has had to operate: ° a dire economic and financial inheritance ° a Parliamentary Labour Party unwilling to face up to the hard choices that inheritance presents ° an unhinged second Trump presidency

@beffybadbelly Such a comment indicates that you will never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions in taxes every year

Musk is meant to be a genius but can’t figure out that if he used his insane wealth to better the lives of everyone in the world he would be universally celebrated

@mehdirhasan They were found guilty of being thugs. Get over it.

But the other three didn’t - and the one who did wasn’t convicted of intentionally doing so. The terrorism sentencing added on without telling the jury should be seen as an outrage for anyone interested in basic British liberty and fairness.

@TomSoede And yet he remains a spineless, dishonest, incompetent bureaucrat

UK is starting to love Sir Keir. I don't know but something seems to be changing in the media. Apart from the predictable hostility from GB News and Nick Ferrari on LBC, parts of the press finally appear to be moving towards something dangerously radical: Judging Keir Starmer on what he actually does. Not every difficult week is now automatically being presented as a political funeral. Not every disagreement is being treated as the collapse of government. Not every Labour setback is being turned into another breathless “Starmer is finished” headline before breakfast. Some journalists are beginning to acknowledge the seriousness, discipline and stability he brings after years of Conservative chaos. I would not say the media loves him yet. That may be asking for a miracle. But a little fairness, context and neutrality would already feel like a revolution. And perhaps, slowly, some of them are beginning to realise that quiet government is not the same as weak government. Sometimes it is simply government getting on with the job. #LessNoiseMoreDelivery

@EdwardJDavey Like you fixed the postoffice scandal cover up. Why are socialists so dishonest?

The Brexit mess left by Nigel Farage and the Conservatives is costing us £90bn a year, money that could have been spent on defence and tackling the cost of living. They wrecked it. We'll fix it.

@polen_ball Probably goes to show that you will never create a multi million dollar business employing thousands of people paying millions of taxes every year

This literally shows workers doing all the work lol

@ShockatAdam They were found guilty of being thugs

They weren't convicted of terrorism by a jury. Yet they were sentenced as terrorists. All while the British government continues to arm and shield a rouge genocidal state. This historic miscarriage of justice should alarm everyone who values civil liberties. A chilling precedent has been set.

@andrewfeinstein If the they are that brave then they can enjoy their time in prison for being thugs.

My statement on the Filton 4 case, as an expert on the global arms trade: ‘These quadcopter drones are key instruments of genocide, used by the Israeli forces in Gaza for surveillance, targeting and to kill. Had they not been destroyed by these brave actionists, they could have easily ended up facilitating yet more killing and devastation. To call those who disabled them terrorists is a perverse distortion of the truth. The real outrage is the continued arming and enabling of a genocidal military campaign that has devastated an entire civilian population. Those who smashed these drones to pieces were not spreading terror - they were trying to prevent it.’

@FrankPallone That comment explains why you will never create a million dollar business employing thousands of people and paying millions in taxes every year. Stick to being a second rate politician!

The con man who stole your data and sold our government for scrap is now a trillionaire. Meanwhile hardworking Americans are counting every last nickel and dime. The inequality is outrageous.
