Musk claimed this week that a proposed tax on billionaires would actually hurt the middle class.
in income taxes in some years, and, in the case of Musk, a laughable $68,000 in 2015 and $65,000 in 2017., you might think that he’d reflect on his situation and say, “You know what? This is fine. The tax won’t affect my life in any way whatsoever, but it would help millions of people who make less money over the course of their entire lives than I do
. So go for it—make me pay my fair share.” But...surprise! Instead, he’s thrown a predictable hissy fit over the whole thing.Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday evening criticized a Democratic tax proposal that would target American billionaires to fund a safety net expansion, saying it represented the start of a new campaign from Democrats to redistribute wealth from the richest Americans. “Eventually, they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you,” he wrote on Twitter.
What we love about Musk’s endorsement of this idea is not just that, despite having more money than God, he can’t fathom the idea of having to cough up a little more cash than he currently does, but also that he has the audacity to try and convince middle-class people that Congress taxing his unfathomable wealth will ultimately hurt
