This is f*cking insane
Everyone is talking about Jensen Huang's affair this week. Almost nobody is talking about what he said about paying $8 billion in taxes
Nvidia CEO, asked about California's billionaire tax:
"The fact that I can afford to pay $8 billion in taxes over five years is a privilege"
"I'm not afraid of paying taxes. I'm just afraid of being poor"
In 3 minutes, he explains why he's fine paying it while other billionaires spend millions fighting it:
0:31 - "I don't mind paying taxes. Why not?"
0:33 - The one thing he hates: tax dollars wasted
1:05 - "I am the ultimate American dream"
2:13 - The question: $8B over five years, still worth it?
2:37 - Afraid of being poor, not of taxes
2:51 - Why he pays his people as much as possible, not as little
When billionaires fight a tax, most people blame greed
Jensen is teaching the math underneath:
country → education → company → merit → success → taxes
Old way: pay as little as possible, to the state and to your people
New way: paying more is the proof you won
Better than any $2,000 finance course I've seen
Is he right or is that easy to say when you're a billionaire?
@GrgMorehouse@5149jamesli Because it wasn't because of a spy at all! He had another extra marital affair with a white woman, so fucking what? It was all a pretext to boot the guy and place an israeli-friendly CEO in his place.
