    You all realize they don’t have that money laying around to pay the IRS right? They own companies, those companies are worth that much. To pay that you would have to liquidate those companies. So no more Amazon, Tesla, Space X, etc…

      Don’t be a bootlicker or bot or idiot.

      When they sell their shares to buy twitter or pay the tax man, those companies still exist. It just means that other people get to buy those shares and that’s a good thing, because that way those companies get owned by the public.

      Tesla and SpaceX still exist even after Elon overpaid by some $30B for his Twitter adventure.
