Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2 Billion of U.S. Income in 2024

No surprise, of course. To some of us. The least we can do is install a minimum effective tax rate.

Limbaugh convinced the guy in the trailer home that what was good for a billionaire is good for a guy in a trailer home.

That guy is still in that trailer home, voting Republican. The billionaire's net worth has increased exponentially.

Poor Mac

Were you able to at least afford a double wide?

 

[Mac1958]

Right on cue.

 

[Billiejeens]

Right on cue.

I thought that your ability to get a double wide should be applauded.

All thanks to your beloved Dems giving Green energy tax breaks.

I thought EVs were saving the planet? Dems have been subsidizing “clean energy” for years.

So which is it? Are EVs saving the planet or are they bad and need to be taxed?

You seem unusually obsessed with other people’s money. Are you unhappy with your financial situation? Virtue signaling, perhaps?

 

[Mac1958]

And they just line up for me.

It's not Trump. Even before Trump, the gop had ruled out ANY tax hikes, even if they were revenue neutral by shifting tax breaks, in 2000.

All businesses everywhere only pay taxes on profits, not income.

I paid $28,000 in federal income taxes in 2024.

Tesla paid $0 on $2.3 billion in income.

This is the problem with our tax code.

Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2 Billion of U.S. Income in 2024

Tesla reported $2.3 billion of U.S. income in 2024 but paid zero federal income tax. Over the past three years, the Elon Musk-led company reports $10.8 billion of U.S. income on which its current federal tax was just $48 million.

Do you think Elon is the only beneficiary?
You are right, the tax code is the problem, not Musk.
Politicians write the tax code, and they aren't stupid.
Having said that, I find your thread title a bit accusatory.
But, it is pithy.

Is that what I said?

 

[Orangecat]

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Tesla is wise to avoid taxation through legal means.

Have you been living under a rock? Tesla makes EVs Biden and Dems have been financing these companies for years.

I'm all for it, but it's not happening.
