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.

Elon Musk's hostile takeover of the federal government has never been about rooting out "fraud" or "waste."

Musk — who rakes in billions in federal contracts from the administrative state he is illegally gutting — only cares about enriching himself.

If the average person suffers, so be it.
