IMO this is not rocket science...Elon Musk is the world's richest person, Democrats have proposals for taxing the ultra-wealthy.
Whether they will ever implement them is another question but Dems have at least floated ideas such as a wealth tax that would force billionaires to pay a small percent of their entire wealth every year.
A ProPublica story based on leaked IRS docs showed that Elon Musk's average tax rate was 3%, and in some years he paid nothing at all in taxes.
https://www.propublica.org/artic…
Tax on billionaires was even considered for inclusion in the social spending bill last year, which failed but came within a couple votes of passing. If you are Elon Musk, who you gonna support?
- 2020 primary was the first time you had all these American politicians like Sanders and Warren come out in favor of a wealth tax. When Elon Musk says the leftyuekit

This makes sense.
If I buy twitter for $44B, I can maybe adjust the “knobs” to lean towards the political outcomes I want. Namely, we can get more congressmen who support lower taxes on big tech innovation companies and the mega rich.
Tesla annual revenue: at least $50B and growing. This year might be $100B. In ten years could be $500B.
Musk net worth: $290B
So let’s say I buy twitter for $44B and over time I can control the sentiment on Twitter ever so slightly to affect tax rates in my favor. Maybe I get corporate tax rates down by 2% or 3%.
Just two or three percent! Twitter pays for itself in a few years. Over ten or twenty years, it’s a windfall.
Oh but wait! I can’t just do whatever I want with twitter, there’s a board and shareholders and.... can I take it private?
- Yeah remains to be seen if you can really control sentiment on Twitter so much. Was just pointing out that when Elon says left has gone crazy, he's probablyyuekit
- referring to this, not social issues people assume. After all Elon Musk is a pretty liberal guy, he microdosing LSD in his mansion with Grimes all day.yuekit
- Yes but he obviously loves money.nb
- I would note that you don’t need to that much of an influence over twitter to get a few more ultra right tax congressman elected.nb
- Politics in America is generally close. And because you don’t care what state they’re in, you influence whoever you can.nb
- It definitely gives him more influence. For billionaires the #1 policy issue is remaining a billionaire.yuekit
- microdosing or not ... you can still be totaly far off... bro lives beneath the poverty line..neverscared
- u don´t have to be liberal to boot up psychoactive drugs..around here far rightwinger convervatives do it too...neverscared
- i´am pretty confident tha he can blast off his bitcoin resources too with twitter and cash out some good sums while manipulating.neverscared

No need to fear Musk's Twitter when the DHS Disinformation Governance Board is here to get disinformation under control:
The Disinformation Governance Board is a United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) board announced on April 27, 2022. ... Its aim is protecting national security by combatting foreign misinformation and disinformation.

- America is fucked.MrT
- LOL "einstein"? How pathetic. They are rabid children that can barely form sentences, drooling, crawling, for any attention just like daddy T.formed
- Hunter has the decency to avoid attention, beyond the obsession from the right-nut-jobs, with his 'laptop' being a true fetish. So bizarre, pathetic and lazy.formed
- stopped reading at 'hunter has the decency'. lolhotroddy
- I left out what? How stupid are you?monospaced
- Why do conservative morons care about a nobody like hunter? Because they’re brainwashed fucktards who don’t have shit else to say.monospaced
- You literally can’t make an argument in favor of trump without making yourself look like a bigger fucking idiot. It’s insane how rrtaeded you sound.monospaced
- Oh trump is a good president. Why because hunter and her emails derp derp I’m a moron.monospaced
- Your trump derangement syndrome made it about trump. I just pointing out that plenty of trust fund kids behave like trust fund kids.hotroddy

- It was too much for Elon to sell even more Tesla stock to buy twitter on his own. Being the richest in the world, but actually having no cash :))grafician
- I get the need to buy twitter, but not right now. The timing is not right for him. $40B is not 10% of his folio...grafician
