Except he almost certainly won't be paying anywhere near that amount, if anything.

God bless Willie Nelson…

Basically, and it's not even like this is a corporation that has some level of money machine go burr, it's straight up one man who did this and is responsible it should be cut and dry and he should be spending the next few decades in prison.

Considering he’s made $400B since acquiring Twitter, this was just a minor cost of doing business.

admit any wrongdoing.

So, the Trump school of leadership.

Antonin Scalea capped punative damages

This idea needs to be fine tuned. The problem is that parasitic oligarchs don’t have a real income.

For those who don’t know, the parasite oligarchs take the vast amount of stock that they own and take it to a bank. The bank gives the parasite a loan with the stock as collateral. Right off the vat, the parasite gets to claim debt on their taxes. The parasite will then take the loan and use it to buy more stock or companies or anything that generates more wealth.

Loan gets paid off with the generated wealth. Due to generous tax loop holes put into place by politicians). The parasite gets to claim that they didn’t make any money and get a tax bill of zero and sometimes a refund.

What really needs to be done is they need to charge a percentage of his profits. Say 20 to 30%.

Lol. That's not how the state serves capitalism. Fixed fines!!! Gotta put the burden the poor every time.

Because that's the law.

Idk, swelling the weight of a bag is a dick move and I think it should be punished harshly. /s

To be clear, the punishment wasn't him loosing 2B, he wouldn't even notice the difference. The punishment was being told he was wrong by a jury of his "peers".

This does not work because he will find a way to have 0 income (legally). I don't know how we can make the billionaires pay, but we should tax the assets not the incomes.

That’s the problem with Mr. musketeer he doesn’t actually show income. That’s why we’re always complaining about how billionaires don’t pay income tax.

How much as he made from his Twitter deal? He made it illegally, confiscate it all.

Is this your first time in capitalism? That's how every fine works. There are no punishments for the privileged.

The president is a pedophile who has been prosecuted for like 30 felonies. They're not fining the creep at all. That's reality.

It should be the amount he made from it + a fine. It's how the middle class get handled.

Next time please also let me know I should do that

He'll pay it, then make it back by lunch.

I mean I dislike the guy as much as you, but almost all of his “wealth” is paper wealth. He may very well not be able to liquidate 2% of his wealth (fine with me).

...is Musk worth a trillion dollars now?

It's hard to prove intent against a billionaire. It would've been easy if he was a poor black dude.
