For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub.

TLDR
First time she filed she was single and had low numbers, second time she filed including her husbands business assets value, which he is a partner in so the numbers are higher than reality.
People get married and assets go up. Once you learn the details almost everything the right says is misleading.

Her husband being a multi millionaire is no minor detail. But then multi millionaires are the only ones with the leisure and resources to run for office.

So much this, especially when you layer in things like low term limits. Low term limit caps resulted in two things here: politicians having to run for a different positionevery few years and an outsized share of millions running for office. In either case you wind up with a lot of green elected officials every election and none of the reelected ones have strong networks. This seems to have lead to lobbyists having even more sway than usual along with an increase in partisanship.
That's how much his business is worth, not all cash in the bank.
I'll trade all the cash I have in my bank for $30M in business assets
Even if said assets come paired with $60M in liabilities?
With a long note on debt, absolutely. I'll take a $30M loan over 30 years with $30M in accrued interest in a heartbeat
Based on what I could find a majority of that networth comes from her husband's businesses, a winery and a venture capital firm. And the jump seems to be related to lawsuits being settled which previously decreased the value of those businesses.
That being said there are plenty of criticisms to made for both Republican and Democratic members of Congress's ever increasing networth and shady stock trades.
So the difference is 349 billion vs. almost 30 million.*
Can we get a visual please?
It would look something like this:
Except hers would be 10x smaller.
* and it's bs anyhow, see this comment
You see, millionaires are bad, but billionaires are good, because highly publicized charities.
Every MAGA is siphoning up every penny they can get their hands on, but she's the problem.
Trump entered office in 2016, in deep, deep financial trouble. Technically, the average American had more money than him. Now he's a billionaire, and everyone around him is looting America.
But she's the problem, because she married a guy with money, sort of like how Trump's own daughters Ivanka and Tiffany married billionaires.
Just like Hunter is a criminal for trying to trade on his family name, like EVERY other rich kid. Nobody batted an eye when Jenna Bush was given a multimillion dollar hosting job on The Today Show, even though she had literally no experience at all, and there were thousands of more experienced people who would have loved that job. But affirmative action for non-nepo babies is terrible. And nobody seems to notice how the Trump demon spawn are going around the globe, successfully doing exactly what they accuse Hunter of doing UNSUCCESSFULLY, mainly because he didn't have the backing of his father, while Trump is using his sons as proxies to apply governmental pressure to their negotiations.
They also like to say that AOC is worth $30 mill, or some random big number, when she's still paying off her student loans.

Per whatever source, this one as an example: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/elon-musk-tesla-trump-doge-neuralink-spacex-b2876212.html - way too fucking much. This planet cannot afford billionaires, and even moreso for multi-hundreds of billions-aires.
Conservatives still the loudest champions of woke and dei I see lol that broke mind virus do be a bitch to live with
Elon Musk is a Nazi. He should have his security clearance stripped from him and thrown in jail.
end wokeness, jack proesbic married a russian honeypot, nothing more than putins mouthpiece. coming that most if not all GOP are millionaires as soon as they get elected.
governments have always been business's best friend and loyal subject.
This must be the source for my MAGA parents telling us AOC was worth $30 million on NYE. Sigh.
At least they accepted it when we found multiple sources putting her net worth in the neighborhood of $100k.
To drive up assets in value. It sounds a lot like laundering schemes.
