I thought the guy has no cash cos he doesn't take a salary and his fortune in shares is unrealised gains so we can't tax St Elon? God knows how he funds this.
Elon Musk's epic bacon adventures

Borrows against his assets. Like every other billionaire who doesn't want to pay tax.
Quite scary really. Someone with both the incentive and ability to make social media even worse for the world is now Twitter's biggest shareholder. And it cost him a tiny fraction of his make believe fortune to the point where he probably isn't worried about whether it works out financially or not.
Its all so that he can tweet people are peados if they mock his ideas (submarine for example) without fear of being cancelled... Im sure longer term he envisages tesla solar and battery powered tunnels in mars filled with monkey (flying there on space X and being driven round in automated tesla moon cyber buggies) who have tweeting chips implanted in their brains so they link directly to starlink to pile on anybody who isnt a musk fanboy on twitter - it really is the only convergent strategy for all his businesses
He's basically a pantomime bond villain. - fair play to him for that though because if it was me I'd be dead from hookers and coke in no time with even 10% of his money
It has to be one of the stupidest excuses for not pummeling these guys with taxes.
Wouldn't even 0.1% be enough for that?
Inflation... Have you seen the price of hookers these days
They only increased for you, mate
sh!t... you burned me and your moms earning more...
double win for you and yours
He's now affecting the people who post in this thread. Where will he stop?
He got turned away from Berghain this week, then tried to say it was because they wrote 'peace' on the wall outside

He sold over 16B worth of Tesla stock last year.
I thought he then re-bought the stocks and claimed it was an exercise in proving he pays taxes?
He spent some/most of that money to exercise some Tesla options but no idea how much.
So why are you making excuses for him then?
He has some plans for Twitter now that he has joined the board.
This is actually a good idea to be fair
His influence will be somewhat limited given that they have capped his shares at no more than 14.9%. I suspect that won't stop him from pretending he's the CEO.
The man's got a mental age of 12.
It’s his draw.
That's kind.
The cults heads have just exploded
Fine: The sack of shit's got a mental age of 12.
Better?
They seem to think it's because joining the board would limit him to owning 14.9% of Twitter, and he's turned it down because he wants to own all of it.
Failed the background check.
Upcoming tweet on how he didn’t want it anyway.
This guy is just a rich David Brent.
Seems to have deleted it, along with his twitter poll asking if the should remove the 'w' from twitter.
Turns out he's actually pretty rich so could probably just buy a building to help some people in needed though.
it's amazing that so many people worship this guy as if he's some genius when he's clearly just a big petulant man-child egomaniac sociopathic cuntbag.
Yeah, probably got his wrist-slapped. He probably doesn't really care.
Best description i've seen of him yet.
I think you're mistaken? We have already established he's cash poor so can't afford to even pay taxes.
This is why you have to separate his business ventures (which have made him the world's richest man by a country mile) with his meme lord persona on social media.
he's such an annoying bastard. he acts like a 15 year old. he has the insecurity of a teen.
It really is mad that he has legions of 'fans' when all he does is act like a petulant man-child.
I've never understood why people are so subservient towards certain celebrities.

For fecks sake.
I mean 40bil is out there but it does make more sense than say 40 1bil dollar yachts etc.
