Fred Lambert(@FredLambert):That's not accurate. Elon would probably be worth less than $100 billion under this wealth tax, because he would have been required to sell his shares of $TSLA and $SPCX, which would have crashed those meme stocks and further reduced his paper wealth.

If Bernie’s 5% a year billionaire wealth tax had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1 trillion he’s worth today. He’d still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior in America would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.
