Why don’t these two, Musk and Bezos, spend their own extremely vast personal fortunes on their hobbies instead of wasting the citizen’s tax dollars!?! Why won’t they treat their workers here on Earth decently either? Considering all of the astronomical profits both make, and the lack of taxes they now don’t have to pay, it’s obscene. Why aren’t they reaching out to help people here on Earth and developing ways to test and treat Covid19? (or helping to feed and house all of those impacted by it?) It’s truly sad and a highly inappropriate way to squander our tax dollars when so many of our citizens have lost their jobs due to this pandemic and likely lose their homes as well, if they’re not already homeless. This is truly shameful and wasteful.
