I'm reading a lot of STUPID comments by Democrat leaders talking about how just a 5% tax on Elon's trillion would pay for so much!
Um, they are aware this is not cash, right?
If Elon sold 5% of his stake to raise the cash to pay the tax, it would crash the stock.

🚨 BREAKING: The US military has just carried out an operation which KlLLED the leader of the vioIent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua
This is EXACTLY what we should be using our military for 🔥
Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley are being AVENGED
More of this! 🇺🇸
POTUS: “At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Ni��o Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth. Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity.
During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls.
With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones.
Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive
This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong.
GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
THIS is exactly why socialism never works.
There is no one in the government, and especially in the US Senate, smart enough to know how much money someone else should earn.
In America, the sky is the limit. We don’t impose a 100% tax on earnings above a level set by the government.
Socialists do that. And that’s why there are no trillionaires, billionaires or rich people in socialist countries. Everyone is in poverty together, except for people in government. They’re the only rich ones.
Elon Musk has continued to state that he paid more than $10 billion in taxes in a single year, 2021, primarily federal income taxes triggered by exercising Tesla stock options and selling shares. Multiple outlets described it as one of the largest individual tax bills in U.S. history.
According to reporting based on leaked IRS data, Musk paid about $455 million in federal income taxes on roughly $1.52 billion of reported income over a five year period, 2014-2018. In 2018, he reportedly paid $0 in federal income tax because he did not realize taxable income that year. @SenSanders@NYCMayor@SenWarren #elonmusk #Spacex #Musk @elonmusk@SpaceX@x@ap@EveningEdit@FoxNews@FoxBusiness
There's a fine line between deceptive practices for self-gain and lawful use of engagement to expose illegal activities. They're a sham and busted. Not enough hate group activity, so they decided to drum it up by paying the haters to create it. And you defend this, despicable 🤮
@Fishkat1@SecMullinDHS@DHSgov@SenatorAndyKim So what is the relevance of that text?
Is it a crime to infiltrate a hate group and pay informants before sharing details with law enforcement?
Not that DOJ claims this is even definitively established. They just claim "no information."
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
