@elonmusk This is true. There are loads of blaggers in IT who came from a project management background, being paid huge salaries even though they're clueless.
@michaelromose @spurtmagoo @SarahKSilverman@elonmusk@SenSanders So why the petulance? No one likes paying tax, but someone's got to build those roads for Teslas to drive on. If we can fathom that trade off why can't Elon?
@elonmusk@itsALLrisky@SenSanders Taxes on consumption eg Vat are regressive and inflationary which is counter productive bc ultimately goal of taxation is to control the money supply while funding public services
@0xdeee @KedarHaldankar1 @elonmusk@SenSanders Tax is zero sum, whoever doesn't pay means everyone else has to pay more. The false and absurd narrative is that the money is better off in Musk's account than in the government's, even though it is literally doing nothing there.
@elonmusk This is not true. You choose to take stock in lieu of salary and bonus. So it's not the only way. Another option for you is to take a salary instead of stock. Richest man in the world complaining about paying a bit of tax ffs.
@wholemars You're missing the point. People are exploiting these rules in order not to pay a fair contribution in tax. That means other people have to pay more tax, which is unfair.
@davelee@elonmusk It's really nothing like robbery. He has to pay CGT one day, it's just bringing it forward. Unless you are suggesting his intention is never to pay it?
@mcuban That's a criticism of tax policy rather than crypto per se. There's no inherent reason for cryptocurrency to be treated for tax purposes any different than fiat currency.
Will August indeed close >$47K?๐ค
Btw these are worst case / floor estimates, so do not worry about Sep >$43K, my base case prediction is based on S2F: $100K. I use the floor stuff for options.
@Gryffindor_clan @Tesla@elonmusk Driven in strong rain and the awd on the Model 3 has phenomenal grip even on summer tires. This guy must have been driving dangerously and too fast for the conditions and location.
@jspeters_@ekarassik@elonmusk@TesLatino It's not that. Tesla have the only decent network. That's a big reason people paid extra for Teslas. If that network is now going to be practically useless because it's full of other evs then the incentive to own an ev is reduced. Owners might get turned off evs altogether.
