Musk apparently makes $0 in salary, so what we are talking about is the tax involved in exercising his ISO shares that I believe are worth in the area of $140 Billion. https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/elon-r-musk/?sref=GYlFC92K https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/elon-r-musk/... If realized as long term gains, that would be taxed at Federally (20%) : $28 Billion CA (13.3%) : 18.62 Billion or TX (0%) : 0 Billion I love California, but I would move to Texas for $18.62 Billion. Note that there are fewer than 100 people in the entire world who have more money/wealth than Musk's potential CA tax bill. https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#19efc38a3d78 https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#19efc38a3d78 Having said that, I should also note that I am no fan of Musk. I just wanted to show how much money is potentially at stake.
