@Vertex_Alpha@NoLimitGains Its not macro bozo. Hes playing the ai infrastructure stack and hes closer to it than all macro strategiests alive. The richest people on earth are not macro strategists.
The richest man on earth just tweeted "Bitches. Money. No Taxes. Party."
- He's worth $800+ billion
- He pays 0% federal income tax through legal structures
- He owns the platform he posted it on
- He's about to take SpaceX public at $2 trillion
- He runs 6 companies simultaneously
- He sleeps 6 hours a night on a factory floor
- He posted this at 11pm on a Saturday like a 21 year old college kid
Meanwhile you're stressed about your 9-5, your landlord raising rent by $50, and whether your ex saw your story.
The man literally running the world's most valuable private company just told you the whole game in 4 words and you're going to scroll past it to argue about politics.
Bitches. Money. No Taxes. Party.
He's not joking. That's the actual priority list of the most successful man alive.
Maybe stop overthinking and go grab life by the throat.
At some point, usually in your 20s, you'll notice that the people around you stop believing in themselves. And no matter how hard you try, you can't save them. By all means, do not let it infect your mind. Stay on your path.
@BitcoinNewsCom To add, one of the hallmarks of a low iq individual is their insatiable but unconscious desire to reason by analogy. There is no independent thought, just juxtapositions that don’t appreciate nuance. May these people be delivered from me.
@Praiseakinlami You're functionally illiterate if you sleep 5 hours or less a night. This is terrible advice. You can do all the things you said not to do and make it. The ship you get on is more important than how fast you spin your wheels, so focus the advice on that.
Larry and Sergey can’t stay in California since the wealth tax as written would confiscate 50% of their Alphabet shares.
Each own ~3% of Alphabet's stock, worth about $120 billion each at today's ~$4 trillion market cap.
But because their shares have 10x voting power, the SEIU-UHW California billionaire tax would treat them as owning 30% of Alphabet (3% × 10 = 30%). That means each founder's taxable wealth would be $1.2 trillion.
A 5% wealth tax on $1.2 trillion = $60 billion tax bill, each.
That's 50% of their actual Alphabet holdings—wiped out by a "5%" tax.
Section 50303(c)(3)(C) of the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act states: "For any interests that confer voting or other direct control rights, the percentage of the business entity owned by the taxpayer shall be presumed to be not less than the taxpayer's percentage of the overall voting or other direct control rights."
This means if a founder holds shares representing only 3% of economic interest but 30% of voting control (through Class B supervoting shares), the tax would presume their ownership stake is at least 30% for valuation purposes, not 3%.
The wealth tax is poorly defined and designed to drive tech innovation out of California.
