WHERE DO I SIGN UP FOR SOME OF THAT $10 MILLION ELON?


(Ed.'s Note: Following the announcement last week after the latest explosion of one of his Starships that SpaceX founder Elon Musk would donate $40 million to Cameron County schools and another $10 toward the revitalization of downtown Brownsville, some enterprising businesses are trying to get noticed – and perhaps catch the billionaire's attention.

Just yesterday, SpaceX announced that the Brownsville Independent School District – with a $550 million annual budget – will receive $2.4 million of the $20 million Musk promised for schools. According to the Musk Foundation, grants are made in support of:  Renewable energy research and advocacy; Human space exploration research and advocacy; Pediatric research; Science and engineering education; Development of safe artificial intelligence to benefit humanity.

Granted, $2.4 million is a drop in the bucket [0.36363636363636%] compared to $550 million, but why look a gift horse in the mouth?

This mural went up in the last two days on the wall of Los Elizondo second-hand clothing storefront. Or is it slightly-used clothing? The reference to Mars is the claim – somewhat unfounded – that rockets will be launched to Mars from Boca Chica Beach. In reality, there have been no rockets launched from the SpaceX testing site other than the testing of the prototypes.

The SpaceX launches actually take place at Cape Canaveral, Fla., but that hasn't stopped local SpaceX boosters to try to curry favor with the billionaire. Where do we get in line Elon?)

Musk is another Howard Hughes who brought the aviation industry the "spruce goose" that never flew.

Like Hughes, Musk has learned how to obtain
a plethora of funding from the government to
redistribute while his rocketships ignite over our environmental ecosystems and fall into the ground spreading debris over our beaches.
No politician in Cameron County will stand up to him for the reason why he is using the free money giveaway as a gimmick so he has control over us and to continue the show at boca chica Beach that resulted in families being relocated who lived there.
The only difference between Hughes and Musk is that Hughes stayed in California and lived in Vegas.
Welcome to Cameron County Mr Musk, you are a genius.

Article on the New York Post: Obama urges skeptics to trust COVID vaccine because ‘wealthy and powerful’ are taking it, so it's a "good thing to get."! Obama is talking to the smarter woke-up people, and not to the idiots vacas who already took the unsafe vaccine! There's a reason the J&J vaccine was stopped! It's not enough they want you to take two shots, now they want you to take three! Still, there will be idiotas who will take it three times, because they trust the honest government y el pinche enano Dr. Fauci! Enjoy your blood clots pinche vacas retardados! Hahahaha!
