@CFCPys Man there is competition for him. He ain’t picking us over other better clubs. We need to know our place in food chain now because of the idiots that have turned up to mid table team

@Rextheanonymous I never get this Brexit argument, it’s daft thing to leave the EU, but if UK issue was all because of brexit, you’d expect Germany and France the other 2 biggest EU members economy to be doing better than Uk. But they are struggling way worse
English
Welfare isn’t the cause btw. Germany is more of a welfare state that Britain but it’s more productive. You people never like talking about Brexit and how it was a disaster. Reducing the UK’s issue to welfarism is too lazy of an argument
dru. squatch@hurtch
Britain is poorer today because it allowed itself to be transformed into a welfare state. It doesn’t attract the investments needed to generate wealth because the investors don’t believe the ROI is worth it. Your wages are lesser because investment is lesser.

@drgurner This is my issue, fix the fraud and waste because robbing more people. Give them 7 trillion and they will piss it away
English
@AezzieUwU How exactly is wealth fixed? Like people from 1700 factored in the value of Apple, phones and rocket technology? What the fuck does that even mean. If you come up with a radical idea that solves something tomo, you think that value is already accounted now? My God 🤦🏽♂️
English
As Elon Musk ascends to trillionaire status, the average American can’t even afford gas. You will NEVER be able to earn even 0.000001% of Elon’s wealth. Wealth IS a fixed pie and we are getting NONE of it. You will be poor forever and the ladder has been pulled up behind you.
English
@4TaxFairness Solve fraud and waste in the system before taxing anyone. Thats the biggest issue
English
Well.
Elon Musk is the first trillionaire.
There is no amount of taxes America could reasonably levy that wouldn’t leave him insanely rich.
But even a 1% wealth tax could make a difference for millions of folks in our healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
Will we do it?

@SenpaiSlay @J34691588609 @formularacers_ The upgrades worked a charm. I thought they would be miles off it here especially factoring in the engine. Props to them

@J34691588609 @Anthonylexton @formularacers_ Makes it worse, but yeah he’s been overdoing it the last 2/3 weekends with the brembo discs.
Should have maximized instead of taking risks, Monace race is idk an exception can’t do shit when 3 of 4 discs give up

@SethDillon They probably wouldn’t mind if you do that. The aim is for everyone to be poor together
English
Taxing unrealized gains doesn’t work. If I were taxed on what my company is worth instead of my actual income, I’d have to sell my company to afford the taxes.
English
@bitcoinjjj @DanielPriestley He was referring to the Government 😂
English
@DanielPriestley he takes the risk. he deserves the reward. what have you done for humanity. nothing.
English
The thing that winds me up is how Elon has a trillion because he’s set up a system where he forcibly takes 40% of what hard working people produce, leverages it up as debt, spends it ineffectively and does dumb things to win the votes of millions of people who’ve become dependent on his handouts.
English
@johnlew40540571 @DDouth84 @LBC @BenKentish Exactly this. If his companies were in Europe or China, they would be valued at 1/4 of what they are or even less
English
@DDouth84 @LBC @BenKentish Tesla's 2025 net profit was only $3.86 billion on a turnover of $94.83 billion, however the 'market' values this company at $1.35 trillion, a P/E ratio of more than 350.
Tesla and 'Musk's wealth' is dependent upon a company valuation where profits grow by at least 20×.
English
'Congratulations, you've won at life, now that's it.'
As Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire, caller Benedict tells @BenKentish he thinks that personal wealth should be capped at £1 billion.
English
@LBC @BenKentish So if you create a company valued at 1 bil, you cannot creat another company no matter what the provide to humanity because you cannot be valued at more than 1Bil. I never understand this logic at all. To create more you have to give up what you have created?
English
@AaronBastani It’s impossible now unfortunately and even if a party radical enough to force deindustrialisation comes back, forces will fight them to the moon and back to make sure everything stays the same and keep rotting. Whoever brainwashed Europe to deindustrialise did a cracking job
English
This means:
Significant microprocessor and lithium ion battery production in the UK
A lot more engineers (we’d need to scrap student fees I suspect)
Re-industrialisation
Much greater energy & food sovereignty
All completely incompatible with model of last 45 years.
Al Carns@AlistairCarns
The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone. It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off. Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now. We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.
English
It's hilarious when it isn't happening to you but Brighton are such a scummy club
They move like Italian clubs, or Dortmund, tabling insulting offers for top talent and then asking for 100m for guys like Baleba
Pricks
Florian Plettenberg@Plettigoal
🚨📈 BREAKING | Understand Luka Vuskovic has already reached a full verbal agreement with Brighton following very positive talks with Fabian Hürzeler and the club’s hierarchy. Several other clubs have already been turned down. Brighton have submitted a €35m offer to Tottenham post @David_Ornstein. The deal remains complicated, but Brighton are pushing hard and continue to fight for the transfer. Other clubs are also planning to enter the race. @SkySportDE 🇭🇷

Why are these people so retarded
It doesnt make any sense
Climate Warrior🐬 #ClimateJustice🇵🇸🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@ClimateWarrior7
People are telling me Elon's wealth is tied up in shares. OK then, why doesn't he give every American homeless person $1 million in shares? SpaceX could be governed by a panel of thousands of homeless people instead of just one man.
English
@AyendeChand This basically means that the only way to create a second good company is by giving up ownership of your previous good company because your paper wealth can’t exceed 1Bil. What a retarded thing to say. So everyone should stop after one good company. Great for humanity that
English
2% wealth tax above 1 Billion
5% over 10 Billion
7% over 100 Billion
10% over 1 Trillion
100% over 1 Billion after you die
Every billionaire is a policy mistake

@tonyannett If the government wanted to eliminate extreme poverty they would have. Giving them more money won’t eliminate shit, it simply increases the fraud already in the system.
English
If we put a 10% wealth tax on Musk, we could eliminate extreme poverty for a year while he would remain a trillionaire.
Let the gross immorality of our modern economy sink in.
English
@FjajGuy @Nalanthian But no one is bringing up any tangible reason why not. So once you get to a threshold, you are not allowed to build good companies anymore? If any good companies above the arbitrary threshold must be confiscated?
English
@Nalanthian That a trillion is too much wealth for any individual, regardless if it is tied up in stock/assets or liquid
English
It amazes me how many people actually believe Elon Musk has. Trillion dollars liquid asset.
No grasp on stocks or property value. They just think he has a trillion sitting a vault somewhere.
English
@ZaidJilani I never get this argument. He’s still the majority shareholders in those companies which everyone is fuming made him his money. If the bubble burst, he’s also the biggest bag holder as only a tiny fraction of those companies are in the market.
English
You better be happy, you paid for it. The US government rescued Tesla and subsidized SpaceX with an armada of contracts. Now the dude is building speculative bubbles that when they pop could leave everyone holding the bag.
Peter Boghossian@peterboghossian
I'm delighted that Musk is a trillionaire. Anyone else happy for him?

@FabrizioRomano And my club is just there being useless as usual

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal make initial approach for Christos Tzolis as potential new winger with contacts started on player/club side.
He’s among options considered but not only one, Jeremy Monga remains separate deal for future and advancing.
Rogers/Barcola & more remain top targets.
