This week alone Elon Musk's fortune grew by $36 billion, yet he goes out full blast to criticize a proposed wealth tax on billionaires. Kinda makes you want to tax him a whole lot more, doesn't it?

Love you Marianne, but taxing unrealized gains is a horrible idea.

He's only made money if he can successfully sell the stock at the price of the last trade. The problem is there is little liquidity in the market so if he tried to dump a billion dollars worth of the shares the stock would go down significantly and then the paper gains are gone.

Nope. Elon is using it to improve society and is putting his wealth to more productive use than the government can at the moment
