The Left’s Trillion-Dollar Nightmare
Elon Musk’s success inspires more outrage than admiration among America’s progressives.

Democratic heads exploded last week. It could have been for any of the typical reasons. A black teen who cruelly stabbed a white kid was convicted of murder. Congress passed the Secure America Act, providing an additional $70 billion in funding for immigration enforcement (every single Democrat voted against it). And House Republicans grilled school officials over their anti-parent pro-“transgender” policies. But these occurrences only increased the pressure. What blew up Democratic left brains was Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire.

By selling shares to the public on Nasdaq, Musk’s SpaceX raised a record $75 billion, rocketing (pun intended) past two-trillion dollars in value. The former billionaire’s forty-percent stake in SpaceX plus Tesla took him over the trillion-dollar threshold. This proved too much, literally, for the  Democratic communist cadre, led by actual socialist Bernie Sanders.



“Trump wasn’t reelected,” says Harold. “He’s in prison, along with hundreds of thousands of his supporters, conservatives, Christians, traditional parents.

“Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500,” Sanders tweeted. “If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years.”

Sanders’ apparatchik Elizabeth Warren chimed in. “Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire,” she said. “The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk’s level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.” And Komsomolka AOC posted on X regarding Musk, “But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK.”

Socialist economic illiterates believe that Elon Musk obtained his money from others.

But the truth is: Musk's wealth would not exist, were it not for his ideas and actions.

The Left has always seen wealth as a static quantity; a pie to be divided equitably (and forcibly) by a caring government.

Politicos like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren think that Musk took it from someone else. Why?

Because that's how many rich socialists get their money- they rob the taxpayer through their network of political connections, funders, NGO's, scam artists and kickbacks.

People who become wealthy by producing goods and services that others value and want to use or own...  only matter to Socialist politicians when they're looking for a shakedown or a tribute. 

There is a reason why Envy is a deadly sin. It leads to theft and sometimes, much worse.

In our world, it is often someone in a position of power who offers to thieve, so that they may satisfy the envy of others and the greed of their own corrupt hearts for power, money and control.

And the corrupt and stupid alike dare to call it: Compassion. Caring. Equity. Fairness.

But it still is what it always was, even before the Flood.
