Elon Musk's net worth tops $300 billion — a record

Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $300 billion, making him the first person on the planet to reach that milestone. It also means the Tesla chief executive is worth tens of billions more than the second-richest person on earth, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos.
Musk was worth $302 billion as of Thursday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That's an increase of almost $10 billion from the previous day, thanks to a jump in Tesla shares on Thursday.
To give Musk's wealth some perspective, consider that it is greater than the annual GDP of nations such as Finland, Chile and Vietnam — and exceeds the market value of Netflix and PayPal, a company that he co-founded. The surge in Musk's assets comes as lawmakers are considering a billionaires tax that would take a bite out of the wealth of the nation's roughly 700 billionaires.
Under the plan, tradable assets — such as Tesla's stock — in a billionaire's portfolio would be valued annually. If those assets gained in value, the billionaire would pay a tax on that gain, even if they haven't sold the asset. Under current law, a gain is only taxed if it is "realized" when its owner sells the asset and makes a profit.
Not surprisingly, Musk and other billionaires are voicing their displeasure with the proposed tax.
Musk would be liable for perhaps a one-time $50 billion tax hit under the Democratic proposal. Forget it, he said on Twitter.
"My plan," the SpaceX founder tweeted Thursday about his fortune, "is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness."
Other billionaires are also voicing their anger at the idea. John Catsimatidis, the billionaire grocery chain and real estate magnate who owns Gristedes, condemned the proposal as something you would "expect Putin to do," referring to President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
Leon Cooperman, the outspoken billionaire investor who has long denounced Senator Elizabeth Warren's separate proposal for a wealth tax, has added his voice to the exasperation coming from some of the uber-wealthy.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Cooperman said of the tax, "I doubt it's legal, and it's stupid."
Below are the 10 richest people in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

1. Elon Musk: $302 billion
2. Jeff Bezos: $199 billion
3. Bernard Arnault: $168 billion
4. Bill Gates: $135 billion
5. Larry Page: $129 billion
6. Sergey Brin: $125 billion
7. Mark Zuckerberg: $118 billion
8. Steve Ballmer: $116 billion
9. Larry Ellison: $115 billion
10. Warren Buffet: $105 billion

Pretty good for someone on the spectrum.

Musk will reach the 10 figure mark IMO quite easily when the EV industry completely displaces ICE automobiles.

We fought a revolutionary war to free ourselves of British corporate agents, and now? We are letting one of them subvert the Constitution and reconquer us.

Someone needs to tar and feather that guy before this gets out of hand.

Musk is not british you moron

Musk is not british you moron

Musk has three citizenships. S. African, Canadian, and American.

Anyone that is Canadian, is, essentially British, whether they know it or not.

See, the thing about laws in Canada, Australia, and N. Zealand, is whether they are nullified, or how they are interpreted? All comes down to decisions of the monarchy.

In the United States, OUR administrative branch is chosen by the people. In those nations, the top executive, IS THE MONARCHY. And it is the same for all of them.

How do they get their judges? They are appointed by the crown. So, essentially, the interpretation of all law, and all foreign policy, is controlled by the crown.

If you have heard propaganda by the global empire that the Crown is a largely figurative position, or that Canada, New Zealand and Australia are independent nations, then, they have accomplished their goal.


The next goal, is to make you believe that the Empire is not continually subverting the policies of the USA.
