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?

No. He's single now. Maybe you can marry him, divorce him and get half!

The reason he’s worth so much is because a ton of institutions tried to short his stock and they got squeezed. He also won’t liquidate his stock to actually pull money out.

A wealth tax would result in the nationalization of productive assets and cause a wave of unemployment that would make the great recession seem like a boom time. I don't expect leftoids to understand that since they must be bad at math, being leftoids.

Sounds like a great way to crash the stock market. Why own assets that can be taxed away repeatedly? Better to sell immediately.

Not really, good for him though

Because a self-made success in America is to be punished if you are leftist progressive. The level of green-eyed envy is stunning.

We all know how “Tax the Rich” laws work out. The billionaires that make big donations at Hollywood fundraisers get ‘ Special Exemptions’ and the “Middle Class working to get Rich” take it on the chin; every time.
