Elon Musk sold a large chunk of $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ stock for the seventh straight day Tuesday, bringing him nearly halfway to his Twitter promise of selling 10% of his stake in the company.
A well known Tesla investor made a calculation on Elon Musk's stocks sales. And he found out the biggest winner is —— the U.S. government.
Musk is racking up the tax bill to the U.S. government. In fact, the U.S. government will be the primary benefactor of Elon Musk's stock sales, receiving many billions in dollars for these 3 weeks of stock sales.
Musk reply the author on Twitter and he said the electric car maker would contribute a massive sum in federal tax revenue in the coming years amid an ongoing dispute over a Democrat-led push to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
Tax the stock gains.
Tax the stock options.
Tax the employee income.
Tax the product.
Tax the property.
Tax the profits.
Good luck, @elonmusk
