Richest Man in the World – Elon Musk – Calls for Congress to Throw Out Biden’s ‘Build Back Better Bill’
Elon Musk says that the US Congress should throw out Biden’s ‘Build Back Better Bill’.
Just the News reports:
Musk argued that the federal government should “get out of the way and not impede progress,” emphasizing that the government should be a “referee” rather than a “player on the field.”
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said Congress should “can” President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better Act, which Democrats are seeking to pass with budget reconciliation to avoid relying on votes from Republicans.
“Honestly, I would just can this whole bill,” said Musk, ranked number two on the 2021 Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans. “Don’t pass it. That’s my recommendation.” *
Musk argued that the federal government should “get out of the way and not impede progress,” emphasizing that the government should be a “referee” rather than a “player on the field.”
“Rules and regulations are immortal,” Musk said at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council event on Thursday evening. “They don’t die. The vast majority of rules and regulations live forever … there’s not really an effective garbage collection system for removing rules and regulations, so this hardens the arteries of civilization where you are able to do less and less over time.”
* In recent days Musk is reported as the richest man in the world.
The far-left media doesn’t like Musk’s common sense approach, courage to share it and his tweets. The latest list of some of Musk’s disliked tweets is as follows:
November 23 – His spat with Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao after the crypto exchange suffered a dogecoin glitch. Musk called it “shady.” CZ retaliated by pointing to an article on Tesla’s recall of nearly 12,000 US vehicles because of a software glitch. The Binance founder later admitted to overreacting with his comment.
November 14 – His squabble with Sen. Bernie Sanders, 80, who demanded that extremely wealthy Americans must “pay their fair share.” Musk quipped: “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive.” The billionaire added: “Want me to sell more stock, Bernie? Just say the word.” Tesla shares sank 5% the next day, Monday.
November 11 – His remark on Rivian, a day after its blockbuster initial public offering. Musk said that Rivian, a Tesla rival, must achieve high production and breakeven cash flow, which would be the startup’s “true test.” The Big Short investor Michael Burry, in a now-deleted tweet, told Musk the “true test is achieving that without massive government and electricity subsidies on the backs of taxpayers who don’t own your cars.”
November 6 – His sex joke directed at Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, who criticized Musk’s Twitter poll about taxes. The senator, who is also chair of the Senate Finance committee, denounced the billionaire for using an online survey to determine whether he should pay taxes due to his unrealized Tesla gains.
