Billionaire Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA personnel during the partial government shutdown poses “great legal challenges,” according to the White House.
The world’s richest man recently shared a social media post offering to pay TSA employees amid the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, which began in mid-February after lawmakers failed to reach a deal on funding the agency. TSA employees are working without pay which has led to staffing shortages and long security lines at airports nationwide.
If you took a billion dollars from a billionaire, and gave it to everyone, we would all get $3 dollars.
Now do that a thousand times. We would all 3k each. But who would pay for it your ask? Since billionaire have stocks and assets and not cash we would need to sell everything. Who would buy it? China maybe? So we give china tesla, Amazon, all the boats and mansions, and we get 3k.
I don’t think this is a good idea. It’s short term influx of cash, but long term we work for china now.
