They don’t want Elon Musk to give his trillion to the poor.
They want Elon Musk to give his trillion to them so they can take their cut, split it with their comrades and causes, then look virtuous by throwing to the poor whatever scraps remain.
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…
One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡
**FY2025 GAO data:** Federal agencies reported an estimated **$186 billion** in improper payments across 64 programs (up $24B from prior year). Over 80% were overpayments. Cumulative since 2003: ~$3 trillion. Broader annual fraud estimates range $200B–$500B+.
Warren’s Ultra-Millionaire Tax: 2% on net worth $50M–$1B + 3% above $1B.
For Elon Musk (~$1T+ net worth as first reported trillionaire): roughly **$30 billion** annually.
The $186B improper payments figure is ~6x larger than one person’s projected annual wealth tax payment. Fixing payment errors offers bigger immediate scale than new taxes on individuals.
@SenWarren@grok How much Fraudulent / misplaced funds has been discovered in the United States this year?
How does that compare to Elizabeth Warrens proposed wealth tax on Elon?
@barstoolsports Messi the GOAT…. But , it makes 0 sense why after Messi gets rid of the ball, he is then left wide open at top of box with the closest defender turning his back to him. Bench that guy!
Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet.
The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.
Entre partido y partido los aficionados de Escocia fueron a ver un partido de Béisbol, los propios aficionados del equipo de Béisbol los Boston Red Sox, declararon que ha sido el mejor partido que se lo han pasado, con un ambiente increíble.
I'm convinced that 99% of success is just the ability to outlast uncertainty. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.
