Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

More like $277 million overall and $260 million for the Don.

Seems like he got a really good deal given that he and his buddy Jared will milk the NASA budget dry and he'll be able to reap back billions more than that for Tesla too.

WHY does the richest guy on the planet want our tax dollars?!?!?!

That makes no sense whatsoever.

American labor means nothing to him it’s so devalued.

Please tell me you were being sarcastic.

And if not, look up subsidies here: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/

For example, Tesla and Space X

Rich people don't get to be rich people by saying "ah, no, I've got enough money now". They accumulate. And sweeet government money is easy pickins

Yes. But he now has all the money. I’m not sure he could spend it all if he tried. And now this.

He won already.

No. He won't stop until he really does have ALL the money. This is really quite simple. It's what they do.
