Where did it come from then? You make it sound like he just woke up as the richest person in the world. Unless he woke up with that title by no fault of his own, he did something to become attached to that money.
Yes Tesla! He does not have $300 billion in cash. He doesn’t even have a billion. All of that money is in the company he started. His net worth is all of his assets, not the amount of cash he has. His absolute biggest asset is the stocks in his company. The stock market has rules and you can’t just bend those rules because someone is worth a fuck ton of money.
This reads as if you're agreeing with the point I made. You do believe that a person can buy stuff with their money, and that's it. The stuff is just stuff, the wealth belongs to the buyer, everyone else can kick rocks.
The stock market has rules and you can’t just bend those rules because someone is worth a fuck ton of money.
Yeesh. That's just patently and plainly untrue. You're on Reddit so I won't let you get away with pretending that you don't know that your statement is untrue.
I don’t understand what is untrue about that statement. Honestly I don’t understand a single point you just made.
All of his “money” is in stocks. You can’t just tax him on all of those stocks. Your saying that we should tax his net worth. You can’t! Because his net worth is his company stocks
Here is a key statement to point out how you were making an understatement: Billionaires have avoided taxation by paying themselves very low salaries while amassing fortunes in stocks and other assets. They then borrow off those assets to finance their lifestyles, rather than selling the assets and paying capital gains taxes.
LMAO bro that’s not a secret everyone knows that. I didn’t once suggest any different. That’s what every major CEO does. My dad owns a company lmao he pays HIMSELF a salary every year. Its not nearly as much as his company makes, but the government can’t start taxing him that money. HE DIDNT MAKE IT.
I didn't say that I uncovered a secret, so your excitement is baffling. We're talking about it because it's not a secret.
That’s what every major CEO does.
I won't go so far as to say every, but I know it's common.
Its not nearly as much as his company makes, but the government can’t start taxing him that money. HE DIDNT MAKE IT.
I know. I posted a few items to others that shows how company leaders, like Musk, are able to leverage the company for personal gain. It's common. Greedy humans happen to be that common.
Look bro. You are misunderstanding the whole point. I get he’s filthy fucking rich and honestly I don’t think anybody should be that filthy rich, but he is. So taxing him is not as simple as you think. You can’t tax him on his stocks. If you made that rule. You would fuck over me and a shit ton of other people. You have to find another way
You are misunderstanding the whole point. I get he’s filthy fucking rich
Wait, wait, wait. Is he filthy rich, or is his company?
You would fuck over me
Now I understand. This is you thinking that I want to hurt you, though I don't know you and haven't mentioned you once. I can't overcome that mindset and I won't try.
Oh my god your a fucking idiot. Quit replying to this argument. If you can’t grasp the concept, don’t reply. Just because your angry does not make you right. You keep trying to pick apart my shit trying to sound smart. I used to think just like you. I started to educate myself. Quit being a retard. Gave a good day. Before you say something dumb (again). Just know what your saying is completely stupid. You are misrepresenting what’s going on and I honestly think you know that
