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?

Why are they focusing on taxing a class of people, it's divisive. I wish they would fix the tax code so no-one, corporations included, who makes more than 100k pays less than 20% in fed taxes. They should also fix the salary cap on social security tax.

Except @elonmusk will have to sell shares to pay the taxes, reducing his control of @Tesla which is now key to getting off of oil over the next 10-20 yrs. Nearly all his wealth is invested. Meanwhile, US Gov puts >50% of every tax dollar towards war, mostly oil wars. @RalphNader

Elon Musk added another $36 billion to his net worth,enough to end US homelessness.Which is bogus, F*ck that dude! But think about all the Celebs & Politicians posting about Elons & Bezoes, everyone of them has a nonprofit, several worth billions, they didn’t fix anything either.

No it makes me think that the tools you guys develop to expropriate people like him will eventually be modified and turned against people lower on the totem pole of privilege.

Elon pioneered a complete new industry and deserves every penny he had EARNED. Pretty sure you wouldn’t like to be taxed more just coz you worked harder and sold more meals now would you??
Who is using the money more wisely? Elon or the government? Someone who risked everything he had to accelerate the transformation of society from oil to solar, while increasing international cooperation? Or govts. that start wars & pandemics, killing millions to skim off the top?

Unless his taxes going up means mine go down, I honestly don't care.
