    Musk has not lost any cash at all.

    When the media talk about these billionaires that is the value of the equity that they hold in their companies; not their cash in the bank. When the equities fall, so does the billions that they are supposed to be worth. They can only realise the cash by selling the equities, which would cause the value of the remaining equity to fall.

    Eventually someone will explain this to the morons that want a wealth tax. How do you tax a made up number that changes every day?

    I can find you some expensive beer if you want it. Or you can have real ale with a head on it for £2 at Spoons.

    There is only cheap electric if you are getting it from the donkey walking on the treadmill in East Park. When it stops the lights go out.

    <doh> Sky News are still showing continuing coverage of some dead bloke not moving in Italy. People are walking past to see if he is faking it as they have him as the first stiff in their bet builders.

    You are rather dumb ... if the stock value of Tesla falls ... guess what... the company's market value, in cash terms, falls ...

    How do you tax a made up number? ... simples ... by applying a tax rate to that number and issuing an assessment / demand for the resulting tax ... it really isn't that difficult <doh>

    At what time in the trading day would you choose to do that?
    At closing bell would probably be best but you would have to issue a new demand the next day if share prices changed. (day after day after day) until the value of the shares were realised by sale <laugh>

    Fortunately, I am not as dumb as you. There is no cash involved here: these are bits of paper or digital records that are only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay to own them. The face value of the bits of paper is often only pence or cents.

    If you issue a tax demand and the only way to pay the bill is by selling equity then the market capitalisation of the company falls. This creates a doom loop that destroys the economy. Clearly you have missed the Plan for Change by Rachel from Accounts.

    Obviously just another of those far right white supremacists some ****wits claim we keep posting about.

    I just think he's one of natures gentlemen who is rightly proud and more than deserving of his MBE.

    I didn’t. I didn’t vote for them. It goes back much longer than 14 years.
    As usual you are completely wrong.

    My daughte was born in China to a Han Chinese mother , the CCP consider her Chinese .
    She holds a British passport because I'm English but she even refers to herself as Chinese.

    If i moved to China & take residency there I wouldn't magically become Chinese .

    If 2 Irish people had a baby in Pakistan the baby wouldn't be a Pakistani ffs

    A dog born in a stable is not a horse. Especially a dog that makes the young horses eat dog food because it refuses to eat horse food.
