About two weeks ago on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk said, “Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”
That is factually false. Americans become eligible for Social Security benefits starting at 62 years old. Most people take it at 65, when they can receive slightly larger direct deposits.
These benefits come from a lifetime of work, with all of us paying into Social Security throughout our professional lives. In other words, we fund the benefits we eventually receive in our retirement years. There are 70 million people on Social Security, and millions of them rely on it as their only source of income. Nothing else. Ponzi scheme? Nope.
Do you know what a Ponzi scheme looks like? It looks like a CEO of a crashing car company having the President of the United States do a car commercial for his company at the White House.
Never think Elon Musk is “taking one for the team.” He’s not a humanitarian. Musk is a natural selectionist: crush the poor, the weak, the disabled, and minorities. That is who he is.
Regarding his indisputable two Nazi salutes at Trump’s inauguration—I don’t think he’s a Nazi. I just think he’s a click-baiting whore who paid $44 billion for Twitter, a platform that loses money and hardly anyone even uses anymore. I have read that Musk’s grandparents were Nazi supporters. So, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he is one.
It just goes to show us that no matter the wealth or achievements of Elon Musk, it doesn’t change the fact that he is a colossal douchebag.
Thank you for hearing me out.
