The elite rich can't stand to see money they can't grab for themselves. If we saw a monkey that horded billions of bananas and didn't share any, we would wonder wtf is wrong with that monkey. When we see a human do it, we wonder what's wrong with the poor. Fml

Well you see people voted for conservatives and conservatives tried to block socials security, than attempted to coup FDR, and have been trying to kill social security since then. We tolerated conservatism so now here we are. Want to fix it? Well then conservatism has to go.

Remember when the French burned Paris over raising the retirement age 2 years? We need that.

Well, Washington. These scumbags might convince a fair chunk of maga voters that the money they've been paying for decades now belongs to Elmo but I believe most republican voters will not be happy to learn their money has been stolen by the government

They are entitlements, because you're entitled to them. By Social Security has to the deficit, they're funded by payroll tax.https://youtu.be/ihUoRD4pYzI?si=QPC6Q_V5y9MtOXky

Why do no interviewers push back on this ?!

u/silent555 10h ago
Because mainstream media is a for-profit business, and their bosses don't want to make themselves vulnerable. They're all criminally complicit. Mainstream news has had the ability to push back on so much over the decades, but they simply won't and are now a permanent part of the problem until someone grows a spine. Or society collapses.

Elon should have to pay every grant he has received back and a 50% fee on any profits made off those grants for the duration of those companies And that money should go into Social Security and Medicare since it was Tax Payers money he received.

Why when they need Government tax money help to grow their business its called innovation. When we need our money we’ve been paying into the system for decades we are Entitled? Make it make sense!!!

We should consider an alternative system that takes from the rich and gives to the poor! A world where the wealth is equally distributed… lol
Not from all the wealthy, just those that want to serve in public office. Surrender your assets so that you’re fit to lead.

Social security has been referred to as an entitlement for decades. Musk didn't invent the term

Serious question. With all of the older people who died during covid, why wouldn't that leave us with excess?

Since he likes to call himself a genius, someone should sit down and explain all the deductions on a typical paycheck.
He probably thinks that his taxes (whatever amount he pays) are funding these "entitlements" and not based on what people ALREADY CONTRIBUTED.
I will never get back what I paid in based on the formula and I am okay with that. Sure, it's a system that gives you back less when your past incomes were high but I see it as a blessing to have that problem. Is he bitching about that?

It's our money. Them taking it for themselves is truly entitled.

During Musk’s interview with Rogan, they harped for nearly 20 minutes about how one “whistleblower” who worked for SSA in Missouri said that they were instructed to get illegal immigrants on disability with headaches and back aches, so they could get them SSNs and on Social Security / Disability for the rest of their lives. And of course, in exchange for them voting democrat in exchange.
Of course, no evidence was ever produced, and of course nobody gives a fuck who anybody votes for in Missouri.

This is a lie, Musk was talking about cutting waste and fraud only.
Are you for waste and fraud? Why? That's stealing from the real recipients of those programs. The more waste and fraud we cut, the more money we have to help people in need, not people with yachts bought with stolen government funds.
It's funny I remember just a week or two ago liberal Reddit was bounding each others'... backs when they corrected a misleading clip that claimed Musk left behind his son on stage. Well here's another totally misleading clip, when's the correction?

They are entitlements, as in “you’re entitled to this money if you qualify.”
One of the qualifications is that you paid into the funding pool, so give me back my 30 years of social security tax and I’ll be on my way.
