In reply to the discussion: Elon Musk Warns 'The Only Way to Get Us Out of the Debt Crisis' and 'Prevent America from Going Bankrupt is AI and Robot [View all]Paper Roses
(7,600 posts)9. Hey Elon, with your trillions, you could do some good.
With all your money, most comes from the US, you could help the American people survive the mess you and trump have created.
You could finance healthcare for those who count on Medicare, support SNAP, and other critical situations this country is in.Your trillions could do so much for other parts of the world.
Remember, you can't take it with you! Might as well do some good after the mess you have created.
