@chamath@chamath appreciate your persistent warnings, but of limited value in this echo chamber. Could you and your ilk leverage your resources to message directly to union members to illuminate the fallacy of this misguided initiative?
@HaplessRetard@CarolynK59@TomSteyer@JamesTate121 Not to mention the thousands of multi-millionaires their companies have created who all pay the top tax rates. Not everybody can borrow on equity. These tax-and-spend idiots are destroying CA
@TomSteyer Applaud your commitment to our state. But an impulsive, unilateral asset grab is a bad idea. $1T in wealth exited in the last 4 weeks alone and more to come. Businesses/ founders can/will relocate overnight. This will be Detroit, just much faster!
@garrytan Signed. Thanks for your commitment to fighting to take back CA! Unlike others running with their toys like petulant children with zero conviction, commitment to the place that made them rich and their vindictive scorched earth mindset @balajis
@GavinNewsom Can you objectively disagree with any of his assertions? How exactly are you helping us CA residents trolling @realDonaldTrump in Davos while CA tops all negative metrics and meanwhile @RoKhanna is architecting a brainless capital flight?
@emissionite@byersblake Hopefully the creators of super intelligence, deserving of the wealth they have created, can use some of their vast resources and reach to indeed educate the voters rather than threatening to run.
This is the best summary of the personal impact of the California Wealth Tax I've seen. Founders, if you have super voting shares, your tax liability may be substantially higher than your net worth. Private company shareholders, especially those in heavy industries, face a similar risk. Note this tax can apply to founders and shareholders with far less than $1B in net worth as well. As a lifetime Californian, this pains me to say, but founders of any unicorn company or any startup that could become a unicorn this year, really need to start planning a potential move or many will face 30-50%+ wealth taxes and potential bankruptcy. I'm still hopeful that voters will see the serious negative impact on California's tax revenue, services and jobs and will vote this proposition down... but it's so egregiously bad that you need a backup plan.

@TheChiefNerd@RoKhanna@karaswisher these innovators created incredible companies generating tremendous global value, creating hordes of multi-millionaire employees who continue to feed CA’s insatiable deficit appetite despite record tax revenues. Fix the real issue!!
@tedlieu Maybe if the LAPD and local government had acted quickly to stop the looting and meaningless Waymo car burning, may not have forced his hand even if you think it is political. Heard you say it is un- American to deploy soldiers. It should be un-American to loot/burn!
@CollinRugg Protest peacefully and wave the Palestinian flag if you like but burn the American flag and hoist the Palestinian instead???Arrest them, charge with destruction/desecration of a NATIONAL symbol, creating a threatening environment etc etc and jail / deport (where applicable)!!!!
@GovPressOffice@CAgovernor@CAgovernor What small % of kids is this impacting for this to be a priority for CA legislation over declining public schools, fentanyl explosion, homelessness, crime, highest in nation energy prices, highest taxes, population exodus?? Focus on our state or step aside!
@GovPressOffice@elonmusk@Tesla Bringing an R&D center back does not bring back the tax rev and CA GDP contribution lost when Corp HQ and revenue centers move. Stop being cocky, focus on CA and the right priorities!
@Baron_AMMassa@LondonBreed Fair criticism on the retail exodus, several enduring problems (self-inflicted and macro issues) but don’t always engage in hyperbole. This around union square this Wed aft. Not filthy, not overrun by homeless, yes, pleasant surprise.
@khaledjlassi11 @LondonBreed Powell and Post streets on a Wed aft. Desolate but encouragingly clean. The forlorn cable car yearns for the return of the bustle. It must, and with committed, urgent leadership, it can!!
Why does everyone think (with merit) that the guy defending the store at his peril is likely to be the one arrested?? Declare an emergency on crime / lawlessness. Accept no excuses!! I don’t care if it is happening everywhere or not. Fix CA!
@GavinNewsom@AGRobBonta as a proud, loyal , hopeful citizen of California,annoys me profusely to wake up every day to another shameful clip of lawlessness inevitably in a CA city!! Why are you not incensed that YOUR / OUR state is the laughing stock of the country??/
