These words were in the final sentence of the Declaration of Independence signed by the Founders of our nation. Some of them sacrificed their lives . Even more lost a fortune .

Take George Washington as an example . Before the war he became rich in land speculation. When selected as commander of the Revolution forces he declined a salary . He used personal wealth to create a valuable spy network .He shelled out $160 ,000 (today about $5million) of his own money to the cause . On top of that the British raided Mount Veron confiscating his wealth . While he commanded the troops he lost about 50% of his wealth in lost business . The post war depression wiped out most of what remained. When he travelled to the Constitutional Convention he did it on borrowed money.
He was effectively broke

I only reference this because Trump is not taking a salary . He donates his pay .

And neither is Elon Musk for his to date unofficial role .

Trust me . Musk is paying a pretty price.

The opposition has targeted Musk businesses ;especially Tesla which is ironic because Tesla was the standard bearing success story of the left's dreams of a carbon free future.

Not only has sales plummeted.

But Tesla has been targeted by criminal arson and vandalism attacks .

They have accelerated in recent days .

Yesterday 350 protesters gathered in NYC at a Tesla showroom in a nationwide "Tesla Takedown" protests. Six arrests were made, five for disorderly conduct and one for resisting arrest, obstructing government administration

Protests are one thing. But this movement is lawless . Musk told Joe Rogan what was at stake. He said straight that he feared for his life if he revealed all he had learned from his DOGE work


Musk has admitted he’s had to carefully choose his words when speaking out against corruption in Washington.
In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, the business magnate claimed he was astonished to find out just how corrupt some of the inner workings of the US establishment are, and admitted speaking about certain details could put his life at risk.
“This is really going to get me assassinated…” Musk said on The Joe Rogan Experience when asked if he would crack down on insider trading (https://nypost.com/2024/09/27/us-news/trump-calls-for-nancy-pelosi-to-be-prosecuted-over-visa-stock-trade/) and corruption in the capital.

We already know that if Clueless Joe had won then Musk would've been extradited and arrested already because his web site dares defy the Censorship Industrial Complex .

Musk the patriot has indeed pledged his life fortune and sacred honor to the nation .
