'Doesn't Make Sense': Elon Musk Asks Why Taxpayers Fund Anti-American Activities on College Campuses

By: Twitchy - Politics Posted On: May 05, 2024 View: 14

This is a very good question; weird it takes a guy like Elon Musk to ask it.

Doesn’t make sense that American taxpayers are forced to fund anti-American activities https://t.co/7ZAso8wN3W

Here's the post he's quoting.

Federal funding of universities, 2023:
Columbia: $1.2 billion
Penn: $955.6 million
NYU: $805.5 million
Yale: $776.8 million
Cornell: $736.2 million
Harvard: $676.1 million
UT Austin: $645 million
Berkeley: $451.4 million
Princeton: $403 million
GWU: $200.2 million

That's a lot of money from the taxpayers to institutions that teach students to hate American taxpayers.

It's really insane.

It also goes back to what this writer has been asking since the campus insanity started: How are these schools not getting fined, censured, and otherwise penalized for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act?

They clearly are allowing violations to happen on campus daily and the feds -- who have no problem using the power of the purse in any other instance -- are largely silent.

And all the while….having BILLIONS in endowments. Something has to change.

Something has to change.

What about them paying their fair share?

Also, we need to see how much countries like Qatar fund these colleges...

A lot, too, we wager.

And that needs to stop.

My friend @willchamberlain has a novel solution to the problem: seize the endowments.

And when it crashes, so will these institutions.

We're fine with that.

It has long been thus.

That’s why American taxpayers shouldn’t fund the Federal Government anymore.
It won’t even defend our borders.
Meanwhile it’s funding racist universities at home and pointless wars overseas.
Why are we even paying taxes anymore when they’re not being spent to help Americans?

Excellent follow up questions.

Yup! No sense at all!
Why do we constantly fund people, organizations and countries who wish to destroy us? https://t.co/odNcSatBlD

We all know why.

So… we are funding these institutions, and then we are forgiving loans of the students who attend these institutions? https://t.co/IM7XGuPZ4Q

But we're still evil, racist, inherently violent colonizers.

Heads they win, tails we lose.

Any university allowing antisemitism should not receive ANY funding from the taxpayer. Period. https://t.co/XRfydFl9Rn

Antisemitism and anti-Americanism.

You're free to speak your mind, but you're also free to pay for it yourself, then.
