Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it.

Think of the time being wasted by diplomats and experts in Europe and Latin America, as they start planning how to counter American attacks on Panama or Greenland. Time that could be spent thinking about a unified response to Russia and China.

In real life, the rivalry was mostly one-sided with Mozart being jealous of Salieri's position and fame.
Salieri was actually a huge Mozart booster and eventually Mozart got over it and the two collaborated on a piece and became friends.
After Mozart died, Salieri taught his youngest son music.
