    Lol

    The homes he plan on building remind me of those old Company towns of the old coal mines. So long as you worked for the company a house was provided.

    Each home probably comes with a tesla charging station and a discount for the base model tesla.

    When I moved from Austin up to Dallas 8 years ago, my one bedroom apartment down there was $750/month. I just checked, it’s $1250/month now. $20/hr isn’t enough to afford a decent life there anymore.

    Their idea of affordable will be well into the $200’s. The fact Lennar is involved says everything. They build the worst pieces of garbage in Florida. No way $20/hr will sustain a life there, which is what they want. They want the peasants to struggle, so they can control them. Without money, there’s no choice. With money, there’s power and control.

    If I remember correctly I heard around 60% of the the populous is currently living paycheck to paycheck. With the stagnant wages and the constant rise of expenses I believe it.

    While he's at it... Maybe he'll build me a new house. Hey Mr Musk, how 'bout it? I live in West Monroe, La.
    I'm just an 'ol poor truck driver. :(
    We'll call it pre-employment housing. When you become president, I'll take Pete's job.. the transportation secretary's post. Or... FMCSA secretary.
    You can PM me. No matter what anybody else thinks about you, I like ya.... :thumbup:

    Yeah, Elon is a hero to me. Recently, he made $12 billion in just 5 days.
    Democrats hate him and want him to fail because when Biden became President, Elon switched from Democrat to Republican.

    Dunno what to think of that guy... at times, what he says makes sense, and at other times, I wonder if he's just a shill or "decoy" for the globalists. I don't own a Tesla or anything else he makes... probably couldn't afford it. I know this: most of those uber-rich wanks didn't get rich by being "nice guys." :confused:
     
    ducnut and jaffles Thank this.

    Remember when it was alleged that Walmart wages were set at a level where Walmart expected its workers to also get welfare from the state to survive. Maybe Elon has the same strategy????
