President-elect Donald Trump may have another month until his inauguration, but he’s already revealing his plans to make America great again.

Being a businessman, it is only natural that Trump would focus on the American economy and helping businesses thrive since it’s his wheelhouse. Voters who supported him are likely expecting quick and decisive action to revitalize their finances and help end their struggle to make ends meet.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday night, Trump announced his plan to motivate business owners to invest in the United States.

“Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals. GET READY TO ROCK!!!” Trump posted.

X users reacted to the announcement, and some were quick to point out perceived flaws in the president-elect’s plan:

I am not ok with whoever is richest can destroy every and anything. Wait a minute!!! That sounds like Bill Gates! @Sassafrass_84 am I missing something? @elonmusk They can do more damage in a much shorter period of time. We need to care for all things all life great and small.

“Handouts” to the world’s largest corporations. While smaller corporations will be hindered by slow approval processes.

This is blatant corporatism.

Does that mean that polluters can polllute as long as they will invest $1 billion? That Boeing can manufacture shoddy aircraft as long as they will invest $1 billion? That drug manufacturers can produce addictive drugs as long as they invest $1 billion? How do you define bribe?

And what about small businesses?

As someone who sits on a planning commission this is exactly why our local residents are revolting. The companies with the deep pockets already have the ability to bypass what’s good for the community as a whole. Sometimes there are considerations that are more than money.
