Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo blasted the Biden administration Thursday after the Democrats approved another $40 billion in aid to Ukraine, telling his audience what the United States could really do with that sum of money.
“It wasn’t that long ago that Elon Musk made the offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion. The left exploded. How dare he spend $44 billion to buy a website? He could have fed the hungry?” asked Pags sarcastically.
“Elon Musk made that money himself. He made the money, he made the right moves,” he added. “The left was appalled. Fast forward to last night. $40 billion to a country 7,000 miles away.”
Watch Pags’ comments above.
And if biden didn’t support Ukraine enough, you’d be complaining about how the president isn’t protecting our allies and interests in Europe. You are just as bad as the extreme lefties you despise, and for the EXACT same reasons. Your hypocrisy is astounding.
The reason the left doesn’t like Elon Musk isn’t because he is rich, but how he got SO rich. You say he “made that money himself.” But he came from an extremely wealthy family, so he already had a huge head start. And that’s fine, whatever. The owrst part is that during his career he has gotten BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in government subsidies. And where do those subsidies come from? My tax dollars! I don’t like the idea of my money going to people who are already wealthy. If he’s such a genius, then he can use his own money for his ventures, not mine.
As far as him buying twitter? Good luck Elon. He isn’t going to change much. It isn’t going to become an unregulated free speech zone. It is a global platform and he is a businessman who wants to make even more money, and have more power. So in the end the terms of service will remain similar, people will still be banned, and not much will change.

(this is from 2015; he has gotten more government money since then!)

Billionaire ponders buying company, billionaire drives price of company down, billionaire wants to “renegotiate” deal. I’m curious how iron-clad the original offer was. Musk might get sued if he tries to back out now. Twitter stock is down, Tesla stock is down… what’s he doing??
I love this! Madison Cawthorn, trumpy extraordinaire, being dragged for his stupidity. Classic conservativism…
