- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

Why are you so accepting of rich people stealing from you? People like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates only became mega wealthy because of government funding they recieved. I too could be uber wealthy like Elon if the government freely gave me billions of taxpayer money with no strings attached. This is not a joke or hyperbole; our government has given Elon over $30 billion that he's pissed away investing in AI anime chatbots and silencing dozens of his baby mamas.
Doesn't that upset you? Doesn't it make you angry that your hard earned money is funding the drug addiction and lavish lifestyle of some halfwit from South Africa who hasn't worked a day in his life? Why is your focus on lecturing people with full time jobs wanting to afford a fulfilling life instead the Epstein-class who is stealing everyone's money to fuel their disgusting lifestyles? Why is your response to being stolen from, "just work harder so you have enough money after the theft"?
Because nobody has stolen anything from me. Except a few douchebags when I was a teenager who stole like 20 bucks from me.
Yeah... the fact this is how you think tells me you are living in delusional la la fantasy land. Whatever you need to cope man. Maybe you should start buying lottery tickets? That's a good way to get free millions of taxpayer money with no strings attached!
