He’s autistic. He’s said that publicly.

Taxes don't just pay his salary, but the salaries of all his little minions, and their little minions. Taxes pay for his office, the desk he sits behind, and the chair his big ass sits on, etc etc.

I think we should add that all up, refund Musk exactly that amount, and send Cruz home with a thank you for sacrificing his job on behalf of the richest man on Earth.

I asked you to explain the stock market. That's what you have? People want to pay for stock?

That's some MBA master class stuff. Glad you could clear all that up.

Now I'm not going to bother with your bullshit strawman. I can circle back to address that after you enlighten me as to how the stock market works.

I don't understand the stock market. You clearly do.

Get to explaining it and show your work.

After you're done explaining, then we can address your strawman.

If you can't explain the stock market, bye Sam. We're done. Except for your inevitable pointless reply so you can have the last word. After that I suggest you put me on ignore like you were told to.

I find it really interesting that you’re a guy who obviously values rational analysis when it comes to most things yet has this gigantic blockage in anything concerning one man that triggers you to employ the exact same lame deflection tactics that the dumbest RWNJs employ to defend their own biases.

No explaining the stock market? How shocking.

Bye, Sam.

Guessing very few paid that rate. And what effect exactly did it have on obscene wealth, as opposed to merely large incomes?

It’s all vaporware dude. Everything you have to say about anything Musk related is just *poof* vaporware.

Please review the rules, item #5. Just can the sexist crap please. You may be surprised to hear this, but Wonkette is a feminist blog. Yes really.
