The billionaire “trolls” left-wing senator Bernie Sanders
Last week, Elon Musk sold 6.36 million shares of his company after conducting a survey on Twitter on the idea. Analysts say the move is likely to drastically reduce his taxes. He must get rid of another 10 million shares to keep his promise to sell 10 percent of his assets in Tesla.
Before the sale of the shares began, Musk could have been “charged” by the tax authorities with 15 billion dollars.
Others argue that precisely because billionaires’ money is in stock, it is difficult to tax. In fact, Musk began selling shares after a Twitter poll where he said the sale would allow him to pay higher taxes.
Shortly afterwards, there was a verbal attack on the left-wing senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, calling on billionaires to pay more to the US state.
“I keep forgetting you’re still alive“Musk commented on the senator’s Twitter post.
“Bernie takes, not gives“Musk added.

Shortly afterwards, the creator of Tesla and SpaceX announced that it continued to sell shares in Tesla. The idea is to collect enough money in the fight to pay all possible taxes. This led to a collapse in the share price of Tesla, and according to some Musk lost 50 billion of his fortune.
