Elon will pay more tax than any human in history next year

More taxes means what? Sure the aggregate will be more but based on % of income, that 4% is patently ridiculous considering a hard-working middle class man pays 20-30% and earns far, far, far less in a lifetime than Musk will "earn" in a few months.

Hey, if you don't want to pay taxes... maybe stop contracting with US corp.

Elon has stated in many intervoews he pays >50% tax on his income. You're uneducated

Elon Musk

Tesla Inc.

2014–2018 Wealth Growth:

$13.9B Total Income Reported:

$1.52B (10.94% of wealth)

Total Taxes Paid:

$455M (3.27% of wealth)

Hence, why we need a capital gains tax to stop mammon worshipers.

I've already explained this. Wealth growth is not income. Also it's very funny your data cuts off in 2018 before TSLA turned a profit
