It probably has to do with the fact that his company produced technology that is 100 years in advanced of anything else and recently SpaceX saved two NASA astronauts.

but I know that doesn't mean much to anyone anymore.

He's the moden day Thomas Edison, taking credit for smarter people's work under him. While taking the credit. He pays for the brains.

Welcome to how the world has always worked....

....he is smart though, but he is for sure piggy backing off some real talent, even he acknowledges it.

Why should taxpayers be burdened by building roads, medical infrastructure, social services? No way you guys can vote. 😭😭

False equivalence. People can take care of themselves.

They can't. Since you touched on insulin, type 2 DM has a strong genetic predisposition. And only insulin can slow down the pathogenesis and complications that arise from the disease. Dietary changes help alot but it can't stop the progression and onset of disease. Talk about health, I can tell the internet has done wonders to your brain. 👍

LOL, you just have to cut into the military but of course Americans are conditioned to never even think of that.

If you eliminated the US military entirely, you would save save less than a trillion dollars a year.

引用自 Nargo：

Abolish medicare. Why should taxpayers be burdened by people who can't choose to live healthy lifestyles? Be responsible for your own health and pay for the consequences of not maintaining yourself properly. Doctors and medicine are expensive. No more insulin funds.

You fundamentally misunderstand what Medicare is and who the primary recipients are.

Talk about their achievements when SpaceX does what NASA did and has been doing with older technology.

Is this why SpaceX just rescued the astronauts NASA had left stranded for months?

The news really tried to memory hole this.
They really didn't want people to know that both NASA and Boeing failed so horribly and left astronauts stranded for weeks.
They hate that Elon was the only person on the planet qualified to save them.

Elon is going to rip the federal government to shreds.

Let that sink in.

Musk is coming and hell is coming with him!

Musk is more like Doom guy on the 1993 cover.

Too bad. Their condition, their problem. They should pay for it, not tap into taxpayer money.

Presumptuous. I know what medicare is. And that gotcha about red counties using it more does not change the fact that people should be responsible for their own health. People should pay for their own doctors, their own treatments, and their own insurance.

Bring back individual accountability.

Then you should know it takes one bad condition to make some go broke?

I'd agree with you, if it was actually affordable to the average person.

Why do you think it's so expensive to get treatment in the USA? Enough that some even fly here to get their treatments and surgery.

Over-regulation. It's difficult to get into the medical field. Too many requirements. Too much investment needed to start a career in it. Too many unnecessary costs. Those who are established in the sector have an effective stranglehold on the industry.
And they know they can get away with it because the USA subsidizes i.e. pays for much of it through medicare. Just like how the USA government is getting scammed in that F-35 program.

The way to fix it is to de-regulate and encourage more competition.
You don't try to fix the symptoms which only serves to help the ones causing the problem in the first place.

Great news!

Yep. Then they will lobby to get back regulation that benefit them. You can't win while they're rich.

Healthcare should be free for all citizens, TBH. Privatizing essential services such as healthcare and electricity is a huge mistake.

I can definetely agree with that. Remember seeing a lot of my peers in college just hoping they had a shot at being in the medical field because they would only take a limited amount of people. Not to mention a lot of doctors end up quitting after graduating due to the stress it comes with.

IMO the ideal way to structure the US government, and healthcare since that was a recent subtopic, is to copy what China does. That way nobody will complain and they'll have to find another country to talk about.

Edit: they won't complain as the solution(s) will be flawless, obviously.
