Just two days before launching an effort to slash red tape for commercial space transportation, Donald Trump last month purchased up to $5 million of bonds issued by SpaceX, a major federal contractor run by Elon Musk, according to ethics filings made public on Thursday.
The SpaceX bond buy was among 517 trades Trump made in August, transactions that spotlight conflict of interest concerns that have hovered over his presidency.
Beyond SpaceX debt, Trump purchased up to $25 million of Meta shares, up to $6 million of Microsoft stock and a smaller amount of Oracle shares, filings show.
At no point did I say anything about “may as well vote GOP”. Just because both parties are insanely corrupt, doesn’t mean the GOP isn’t pure evil, while the democratic party is “just” greedy corrupt pieces of shit. The democratic party is still 10x better, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are bought just as much as the GOP.
Equivalating both parties without the bit you just wrote is an example of a “both sides” argument.
And leading every criticism with a disclaimer gets tiresome and takes away from the main point. I’m not doing that. Stick with what I’m saying, and don’t try to conclude on anything I’m not.
