Recent Tesla founder "Elon Musk. Musk "with U.S. Senator Elizabeth. Warren got into an argument online, warren questioned Musk's tax payments, and Musk responded strongly: You only need to open your eyes for 2 seconds to know that I will pay more taxes this year than any American in history.
According to relevant data, Musk's total tax payment this year will reach $7.6 billion, equivalent to 48.5 billion yuan, which is by far the highest taxpayer in the United States.
It is no wonder that Musk is so angry, paid so much tax money, and the result is still questioned, who may be unhappy, not to mention that Musk is still the world's richest man.
Musk has been in trouble lately
Just earlier this month, "Musk" posted a "Chinese poem" on the Internet, which caused speculation from the "Seven Steps Poem" of Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Cao, a famous figure in China's Three Kingdoms period.
Musk seems to want to express his helplessness through the connotation of this poem, but what can make this technology maniac so depressed, speaking of which, he has to mention a series of policies issued by the US Department of Commerce last month.
The first is to increase the "tax on the rich"
The U.S. plans to raise a 5 percent tax on the rich with an annual income of more than $10 million starting next year, and an additional 3 percent for those earning more than $20 million a year.
So far, hundreds of billionaires have cashed out more than $65 billion from the U.S. stock market, including Tesla's Musk.
The second is the New Energy Conference
In addition to a large number of cash out from the stock market, Musk also expressed dissatisfaction with a series of plans of the current government, and directly said on the Internet that he hopes that people over the age of 70 will not run for senior government positions in the future, which is directed at Biden, but this also brings trouble to Musk.
At the beginning of this month, in order to accelerate the deployment of new energy vehicles in his country, Biden met with many well-known car companies in the United States at the White House, including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, etc., but he did not invite the new energy vehicle giant Tesla, is it not very strange? The new energy vehicle reform conference was said to be good, but the result was not to invite the biggest protagonist.
After that, the reporter also specifically asked about the matter, but the government official replied that he was not invited to ask him, and he knew in his heart. This answer is also confusing. However, it can still be guessed that Musk has indeed encountered some troubles.
Musk is outspoken and in trouble
As we all know, Musk graduated in physics and is a very good scientific and technological doer, which has also developed Musk's character traits of not being good at words and being outspoken.
In a media interview, Musk bluntly said that the United States does not need so many financial talents, these people will not be of much help to the United States, and he also mentioned the financial master "Buffett", and said that he does not like Buffett's work, his work is very boring. In addition to joking with Buffett, Musk has also questioned Microsoft's products, arguing that their products lack innovation, but this statement has offended Bill Gates.
Musk's outspoken and unintentional expressions may only be a random expression of personality characteristics, but it has offended many people.
The recent series of events superimposed together has triggered many people who are dissatisfied with him, and they have taken the opportunity to smear Musk, which is no wonder musk will be so depressed, it seems that it is really popular.
Summary: With the continuous growth of Tesla motors in the US market, as his business rivals, GM, Ford and other traditional car companies naturally hope to find various ways to hinder Tesla, it seems that the new energy vehicle reform in the United States is not as calm as we see on the surface.
