But wait! There's more!
Musk was awarded options in 2012 as part of a compensation plan. Because he doesn’t take a salary or cash bonus, his wealth comes from stock awards and the gains in Tesla’s share price. The 2012 award was for 22.8 million shares at a strike price of $6.24 per share. Tesla shares closed at $1,222.09 on Friday, meaning his gain on the shares totals just under $28 billion…
The options expire in August of next year. Yet in order to exercise them, Musk has to pay the income tax on the gain. Since the options are taxed as an employee benefit or compensation, they will be taxed at top ordinary-income levels, or 37% plus the 3.8% net investment tax. He will also have to pay the 13.3% top tax rate in California since the options were granted and mostly earned while he was a California tax resident.
Combined, the state and federal tax rate will be 54.1%. So the total tax bill on his options, at the current price, would be $15 billion.

Good info and tweet! Sometimes it amazes me a public figure like Warren will post something without knowing the facts.

What makes you think she doesn’t know the facts? Why should that matter?

Just knowingly propagating a dishonest narrative that she’s convinced herself, over a lifetime of social climbing, is a righteous and good one. Meanwhile it has always been entirely in service of her own personal social status, but that’s at a level she is unaware of. Standard human fare. Robotic in its predictability.

Good lord, the man is going to convince me to buy a Tesla at this rate.
I thought we reached peak silliness about a decade ago.
How wrong I was.

Reid is an idiot. Elon Musk is the complete opposite of a "freeloader", lol.
