Recently, Musk has made several big moves in succession, first elected to the United States academician, and then 40 Starlink satellites crashed, and recently he has once again become the focus of the world, that is, to give 36 billion yuan worth of stocks to donate to a charity. In the eyes of the public, the richer the people, the more they cut the door, but Musk has donated such a large amount of wealth, why is it? It all started with a war of insults between Musk and U.N. officials, who hoped he would donate $6 billion to help end hunger in the world.
The answer Musk gave was that if the United Nations could give a detailed bill, he would definitely pay the money. At the beginning of this remark, many people thought that Musk did not want to donate money, plus the two began to spray each other, so no one thought that Musk would donate money. Only recently did people realize that Musk was real, directly donated 36 billion yuan of stock, equivalent to 6 billion US dollars, for a while his admirers worshiped this man even more, have said that he not only cares about the stars and the sea, but also cares about the life and death of the earthlings.
This is not the first time he has donated, before that he has donated to different institutions many times, and the image of a caring entrepreneur has long been based. In this regard, netizens have also said that looking at other American entrepreneurs, either pay attention to the universe or pay attention to the problem of world hunger, and the ideology and pattern are by no means achievable by ordinary entrepreneurs. It is true that few people around the world can have musk's awareness, and after his funds arrive, the global hunger problem will be greatly alleviated, but some people immediately question Musk's approach.
Some netizens believe that his donation of shares to the charity is just a tax avoidance, and this charity is more likely to be Musk's own. As we all know, the tax rate in the United States is very high, no one can evade taxes in the United States, but if you donate money to charity, then you can deduct a part of the tax. According to experts, musk can avoid at least 50% of the tax amount with this donation, and the tax avoidance amount reached $2.8 billion. Being able to avoid taxes and win the praise of the world is a practice that Musk can kill two birds with one stone, and most American entrepreneurs do it.
But whether Musk is really doing charity or using charity as a way to make a profit for himself may be answered after a while, because it will take a while for the money to reach people in need. Before that, Tesla's stock ushered in a sharp rise, Musk is not as perfect as the eyes of admirers, I am afraid that no one can give an answer. But hopefully he will deliver on his promise, because the world really needs people like that, especially the poor who suffer from hunger.
