Are you? How much tax did you pay this year to fund essential services, Musk paid $11billion in 2021, how close are you to that? Quite far off? Perhaps you should get a job then and start giving all your money away, who knows if everyone does it it might come close

Ive paid enough tax this year, I have a job. Work my arse off thanks.

And I do that for my family not myself.

I make pittance compared to that cunt, I am not in a position to give money away, he is.

Also, please dont make him out to be altruistic just because he pays what he is required to...by law..

If he pays what is required by law, as you have also done, what exactly is the problem? Where is his obligation to pay more? That's not saying he is altruistic, but him not volunteering more tax payments doesn't make him evil. Nevermind those tax payments are billions of dollars.

"How dare he have more than me!!!" basically

We should just have a year out where all the rich people just pay $10,000 tax each and remind the people dependant on it to be grateful.

Yeah, pretty much. People are big mad at the bad, evil billionaire, who... checks notes.. pays his legally required share of billions in taxes, shares this publicly as well, but it still isn't enough, because he has more he could give... to taxes?

Why doesn't Musk solve world hunger or something more useful?! /s
