Indeed. Over time, Tesla will generate hundreds of billions for the government in terms of employee income tax, product sales tax and property tax, in addition to profit taxation.

If we bump up the estate tax in the U.S. to 50% (which I think is likely in coming years), then out of the 101 million shares (from Elon's 2018 compensation plan) the government will end up taking 74.4 million shares (or 73.6%)... nearly 3/4.

No, he’s saying: I just paid a shirtload of taxes, I don’t care, I’m not doing this for money. Still not convinced? I’ll pay more. Get off my case.
… but it seems to have backfired a little.

The FAA expects to conclude its Environmental Assessment by Dec. 31, 2021 for the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy Launch Vehicle Program at the SpaceX Boca Chica Launch Site in Cameron County, Texas | Permitting Dashboard cms.permits.performance.gov/permitting-pro…

The hard work by FAA, US Fish & Wildlife and Texas Parks & Wildlife is much appreciated, as well as the strong local support from Cameron County and Brownsville / South Padre!

Sales taxes usually exclude essential items and some provide credits to low income earners. Take the GST in Canada for example.

And since you give all Tesla employees shares, your ownership is automatically diluted
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15. Nov. 2021
Yes, that is the other major source of dilution. All employees receive stock after a year at Tesla and we now have over 100,000 employees worldwide.

Eh, the real cause is the basis step-up at death. I can't see any reason this whole loophole should exist -- hold appreciated stock, borrow against it, die with your heirs paying no tax on the appreciation.
Of course that only works well when rates are really low, like now.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15. Nov. 2021
That loophole does seem questionable

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley
@teslaownersSV · 15. Nov. 2021
Yeah if you are told to sell your stocks just to pay taxes then you could lose majority share in Tesla right ?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15. Nov. 2021
I had majority control for the first 5 years or so of Tesla, but car companies need lots of capital, so now I’m around 20% or so, despite putting in as much as I could along the way

@itsALLrisky · 15. Nov. 2021
What do you think of a tax structure where there's only a sales tax?
So that rich folks who buy a lot of stuff would get the largest tax burden, and low-income families who don't buy much would pay the least
This would punish extravagant purchases instead of capital-building
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · 15. Nov. 2021
Agreed, taxes are best applied to (especially extravagant) consumption, whereas capital allocation taxes reduce goods & services output, so actually bad for the people.
Probable capital allocation skill of heirs is lower than original creator, so I am in favor of an estate tax.
