Tesla Boosts 2026 Capex To +$25 Billion, Is Musk All-In On AI/Robots?
People are very dumb.
Despite only seeing links to this through Instagram, Facebook and X, it looks like, yeah, this is true as navigating through ‘pay.gov’ you eventually come to a page where you can donate ‘Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt’ via “Bank account (ACH), PayPal account, Venmo account, Debit or credit card.”
I mean, why would they say no to free money?
With the US national debt sitting pretty at $39,074,637,550,015 dollars in money, it’s impossible for an average American to even make a dent in that number. Even if you Venmo’d them a million dollars every day it would still take millions of years to pay off the debt.
ON TOP OF THAT, the money is owed to the public anyway. If you willing pay this, you’re paying twice.
Despite that it hasn’t stopped people contributing. According to a Grok AI summary (ugh, ok, MASSIVE pinch of salt then) “lifetime totals reach about $67 million.”
People are very dumb.
Do bare in mind though that that’s a lifetime total and this scheme has been running since 1961. It’s only the Venmo/Paypal option that’s new when it was added in 2025.
Wait, so none of this is news? Why the hell am I even reporting on this?
