‘We’re All Paying for It’: Kash Patel Called Out Elon Musk for Getting Rich Off Taxpayers.
Kash Patel is set to become the latest of President Donald Trump‘s unfit and unqualified loyalists confirmed for a leadership role in Washington, with Senate Republicans ready and willing to install the QAnon promoter and 2020 election denier as the next director of the FBI. Once he becomes head of the powerful law enforcement agency, Patel is sure to go after Trump’s personal enemies, but he may have trouble targeting one of his own: tech oligarch and tightly embedded Trump whisperer Elon Musk.
Patel criticized Musk, labeling him a monopolist, accusing him of mass data collection, advocating for more aggressive government oversight of his companies, and arguing that his wealth came from federal contracts, i.e., taxpayer dollars.
He explained, “I mean, we’re all paying for it, this is why he’s so rich,” going on to call the billionaire the “biggest” contractor for the Department of Defense.
