Is Social Security A Ponzi Scheme?
Or is Elon Musk a dick?
Musk said to Joe Rogan that social security is a Ponzi scheme. Because the people pay in and the agency pays out at the same time.
That’s not what makes a Ponzi scheme.
However, Musk and Trump and these Doge lunatics indeed could turn Social Security into a Ponzi scheme — by stopping it.
If the fund stopped paying out now, then everyone who invested a portion of their life earnings would not get that back — which is exactly what happens when the Ponzi scheme goes belly up. Those expecting future returns on their investment are shit out of luck.
People revolting against Musk
There is a new phrase going around, “Burn a Tesla.”
I’m not condoning that. But I do kind of puke every time I see one. And I actually shart when I see one of those hideous Tesla Trucks.
Musk sucks, I will say that. I really don’t think this can go on much longer before the entire world decides to shut him the fuck up.
Trump will not be Musk’s friend for much longer, that’s clear.
Then Musk will be like Bannon — a weirdo in the outskirts of Magadom.
