A Gen Xer sold his company for $1.6 billion. He kept less than $100 million and gave the rest away because he doesn’t ‘believe in billionaires’

Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust

Tax the Greedy Billionaires @taxgreed.bsky.social · Jul 10

Grok spewing hate speech is a prime example of how extreme wealth sows division and spreads toxicity in everyone's lives.

The richest man in the world shouldn't be allowed to poison public attitudes about racism and antisemitism with no accountability.

The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names.

June 2025 was the 3rd-hottest June on record.

Extreme weather is wreaking havoc across the country.

We know that just 57 cement or fossil fuel companies were responsible for 80% of CO2 emissions from 2016-2022 – and yet the GOP tax bill handed Big Oil a $1 billion tax break.

Americans didn't want billionaires to get another tax break. In fact, likely voters overwhelmingly agree that billionaires pay too little in taxes already.

74% of likely voters think billionaires pay too little in taxes. This includes 72% of independents and 60% of Republicans. Only 5% of likely voters think that billionaires pay too much in taxes.

We hope every member of Congress was paying attention to Mike Flood's town hall, because the message doesn't get any clearer than this.

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity

AI is creating new billionaires at an unprecedented pace and everyday Americans are footing the bill.

The data centers required for AI consume a massive amount of electricity and strain electrical grids, driving up energy costs for millions of people.

Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

Massachusetts collected nearly $3 billion more in tax revenue thanks to their millionaire surtax.

Analysis by The Budget Lab at Yale shows that implementing a federal surtax of 10% on Adjusted Gross Income above $1 million could raise $1.5 trillion over the next ten years.

The ultra-rich are not just the worst polluters–their donations to climate action are also another way of hoarding money and gaming the system
