What Is Elon Musk's $443 Million to a Trillionaire?
Scott Galloway says $443 million is $443 to someone worth a million dollars, once Elon Musk is treated as a trillionaire. He first calls the midterm giving $440 million, then uses $443 million for that ratio. A millionaire who thought a candidate threatened the car wash, the government contracts, and the tax credits would spend $443. It is the price of a good dinner. That is why the money aimed at Talarico does not look large from Musk's side of the table.
Kara Swisher calls the giving staggering and says it is nothing like Michael Bloomberg's $80 million. Scott Galloway says the money has an impact and that the return is falling, and that checks like this keep cutting at democracy until Citizens United is overturned. He still wants the company-building. Before a gain is spent on a boat or on a political campaign, which he notes is not tax deductible, he wants it taxed at a minimum of 40 percent.
