Elon Musk reveals his tax bill 😳

So Elon Musk has just revealed his tax bill. Holy shit. Now look, I've actually been a supporter of Elon Musk and what he does for the world. And all these people saying, oh, billionaires, tax all the billionaires, tax the rich, the rich don't pay any tax, billionaires don't pay any tax. And they don't freaking have a clue what's going on in the world, and they don't realize how much economy and jobs and taxes the billionaires generate. And then to make it even worse, um, Elizabeth Warren went for, um, Elon Musk. She said, and I quote, let's change the rigged tax code so the person of the year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else. And she called him a grifter. Here's the freaking irony: Elizabeth Warren is employed in the government. All government are paid by private sector. Elon Musk is in private sector. Elon Musk pays Elizabeth Warren's salary. Elizabeth Warren says the tax code is rigged and calls the person of the year, the billionaire, a freeloader and a grifter, and she doesn't have a freaking clue about the economy, and she's in government. So it's nuts. Anyway, so, um, here we go. Elon Musk has just revealed how much tax he's going to pay. Now, he's worth $225.8 billion. So to all the people around the world that think that we should just take all the wealth off the billionaire, uh, it's funny because some people say, oh, if you take all the money off the billionaires and you've got— there's enough money to feed the whole world and give everyone— everyone will be a millionaire, everyone will have loads of money. One, that's not true. Do the maths. There's 7-odd, nearly 8 billion people on this planet, so do the maths on that. One. And two, people will not get or make more money until they learn to manage what they already have. So, you know, you can give someone who can't manage money £100, £1,000, £1 million. You can give people who claim off the system money, and if they don't know how to manage money, create jobs, create economy, create products and services, and do things that move humanity and the world forward, make our lives easier, faster, and better, if they don't know how to do any of that, the money will just go through their fingers like sand. So here's the thing. Who in government has ever built anything useful? Who in government has ever built a company or a product or a service that serves many people? None of them. They're just being paid by entrepreneurs like me and you. They're being paid by entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. So I'm not, I'm not particularly against government. We need government. We need some form of government intervention and government control and government rule. We have some, hopefully some quite nice safe streets and some healthcare and stuff like that. But don't get on the back of people like Elon Musk and call him a grifter and call him a freeloader when he has just paid an $11 billion tax bill. So, um, Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk has just tweeted he's worth $225.8 billion. He's the richest man in the world, and he has just paid the biggest tax bill in the history of the world ever. He's 50 years old, by the way. He's not 90 years old, so he's got a lot of production and creation to do, and he's just paid over $11 billion in tax. And you know what? I think that's a massive freaking shame. I think it's a travesty. I think it's disgraceful. I'll tell you why. I'd like you to answer this in the comments and then hit the share button. Let's see what everyone else thinks. Would you rather $11 billion of tax money was invested by the government or by Elon Musk? Who would use $11 billion better for our economy and our services, given the job? Would you give $11 billion to the government or $11 billion to Elon Musk? You let me know in the comments. Because Jordan Peterson went on record saying, oh, it's great what Elon's doing, it's great that he's paying the billions in tax. No, no, it's not. Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't pay any tax. I'm not saying billionaires shouldn't pay their fair share of tax. We should all pay our fair share of tax. At the moment though, the amount we pay in tax is unfair. I pay 70 pence in the pound in what I earn and what I sell on what I spend. I've worked it out, 70 pence in the pound. That's unfair and it's wrong. And Elon Musk just paid $11 billion. But here's the— just the freaking travesty of this. This $11 billion is going to go to the US government and they're going to fucking waste $9 billion of it. I know if it went to the UK government, they would fucking waste it. They spent nearly $5 million on a track and trace app that didn't work properly. They spent billions more They, um, they gave these loans out, you know, these support loans, and they've had to write off £5 billion worth of the loans because they've given them to the wrong people and they can't get the money back. And then they had, what was it, £9 billion, £11 billion of PPE that they couldn't resell or reuse. So they basically wasted £20 fucking billion of taxpayers' money on PPE that they've had to write off, on loans that they've had to write off, and on a track and trace app that didn't work and killed the fucking economy. Exactly. Taxation is license robbery. Inflation is tax, and tax is theft. Now look, if you use the money well— I like to have nice streets, although my city's gone down the shitter in the last, what, 10 years? So all my tax— by the way, I pay millions in tax, millions and millions and millions, and yet my city's gone like that. We're in freaking wars and lockdowns and everything else. Quality of life is going down and taxes are going up and up and up. And all these freaking public sector government people saying that we should tax the billionaires, and all the haters online saying we should tax the billionaires. If you take capital off entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs can't create, can't make jobs, can't grow, can't evolve, can't create new products and services, can't do inventions. And how many people in government have ever invented something? How many people in government have invented a rocket or a payment system or a battery-powered car? None. But yet Elizabeth Warren calls him freeloading off everyone else and calls him a grifter. Piss off. So I don't know Elon Musk, but for me, Elon Musk represents the quintessential entrepreneur. The quintessential entrepreneur is someone who takes a risk in the hope of and the pursuit of profit, who creates meaningful products and services that make a difference to many people, earns fairly and, you know, becomes wealthy doing it, but makes a valuable contribution to society. And who gave Ukraine internet? When, um, did Elizabeth Warren, did Elizabeth Warren who trolled Elon Musk, did she give the Ukraine internet? No, Elon Musk gave the Ukraine internet. Fuck it, get off the billionaires. Now look, if billionaires are making money through illegal or illicit means, or you know, they're, um, then obviously they need to be held to account. But so do government for how they spend these billions. And while people are going to celebrate, yeah, but you know, Elon Musk paid $11 billion, that's great. No, it's not. It's a fucking shame because I'm telling you, if I had $11 billion and I had to give it to either the government or Elon Musk, I'd give it to Elon Musk. You all said you'd give it to Elon Musk. And you know, with COVID and lockdown and everything that's happened in the world, surely what we need to do— because he's at the government— think, oh, we're in debt, oh, we've spent billions, wasted billions, but let's have a pay rise though. Okay, how do we get some money then? Oh, okay, well, tax more. Yeah, that's how you do it. And we'll try and tax the rich, but that's a bit harder. So we'll tax that middle class, that's easier. We'll scare them. We'll tax them more. Shh. 70%, 75% tax. Yeah, that's how we do it. Except they kill the economy. Why don't they think about actually supporting businesses, creating subsidies, giving supports and sponsorships and rewards and help for entrepreneurs? Why don't they encourage us to start a business? Why don't they give us some subsidies, some loans, some— why don't they just support small businesses? Because in the UK there's 6 million-ish small businesses and they get overlooked completely. They get overlooked by the government. You know, Nigel Farage said to me, well, the government don't even like the small businesses, they're all from Eton, they look down, I don't know. They don't understand that the small business, like the hairdresser, the restaurateur, the bar, the pub, the hotel, the club, the restaurant, the gym, the shop. These small businesses drive the whole economy, and yet they're getting thieved by the government. And these politicians in government publicly criticizing people like Elon Musk— he was Time's Man of the Year for a freaking reason, and he's just paid $11 billion in tax. I say hats off to entrepreneurs who take a risk. I say Elon Musk is a pretty inspirational guy. Good on him for paying his fair share in tax. But I'm not pleased that the government are going to get at him. Wendy said Musk is a dirtbag. Do you know him then? Have you met him? Give us a bit more on that. No, don't vote for me. Sanjay said vote for Rob Moore. Don't vote for me. But here's what you should do, I think. Please share this button. Share this button. Share this video. Hit the share button. Share this video. Um, because I think we need to support entrepreneurs and support small businesses. And okay, well, you know, Elon Musk is a massive entrepreneur, he doesn't really need Rob Moore's support. But the bars, the pubs, the clubs, the restaurants, the gyms, the hairdressers, the shops, the clubs, all of these, you know, the specialist shops, these, the, the individual boutique shops, they need our help, they need our support, because the government are going after them. Make no mistake, it about it, the government are going after them. You know, people say on my videos, oh, own nothing and be happy, and they're going to get rid of the middle class and they're going to get rid of small businesses. And I'm like, who's they? And really? And, hmm. But if the tax keeps going up like it does and that middle brand band seems to be where they feel that they can get the most money, um, then the economy is going to be fucked. The country is going to be fucked. And here's the freaking irony. Of Elizabeth Warren and people like her. You get paid by small business owners. You get 100% paid by Elon Musk. You say, oh, but I pay my taxes. Yeah, you pay the taxes on the money that you earn, that you get paid for by the public sector, by people like Elon Musk. So have some freaking gratitude, love. Come on. Anyway, rant over. Elon Musk has just paid $11 billion in tax. I salute you, Elon Musk, for what you do. I push back on the critics of Elon Musk. They don't even know him, especially people in government. However, I don't think it's a great thing that Elon Musk has paid $11 billion. I'd rather he keep it. I'd rather he invest it in— you know, do you know he made the information about his battery open source so his competitors could use his battery technology? Because he's looking to develop the world, not just his business. Do you know that he was under a lot of pressure when he gave Ukraine internet? A lot of apparent governments were trying to get him to silence Russia, and he said, no, I'm a free speech absolutist, so no, I won't do that. Hats off to someone like that, because he gets a lot of shit, and I don't think it's fair. Thanks for tuning in. Hit the share button. Elon Musk has just paid 11— or he's about to pay $11 billion in tax. He's just tweeted it. And I think we need more people in the world like him. Hit the share button. Let's support these people because they drive the economy, by the way. So do you know, here's the irony: all the people who hate on Elon Musk, one, they don't know him, two, they never met him, um, and three, ironically, they're paid by people like him if they're in the public sector, which they probably are, because you don't find private sector entrepreneurs bitching and moaning about Elon Musk. They find him inspirational. You usually find public sector— nothing wrong with public versus private, it's just a different sector— but you usually find public sector, or people who are getting paid in benefits, um, that are the ones that moan about Elon Musk, and they don't ironically understand that him and people like him are the people that pay them. They should understand about economics a bit more. Hit the share button. Thanks for tuning in, and remember, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything. And yes, my beard is looking big.
