He never made $13B in a day. It's just a stock price fluctuation that can be given back tomorrow. He doesn't get to spend it. And even if you count stock fluctuations as income, he never earned it in one day, he earned it over 25

Unlimited free downloads is not an inconsequential benefit. Imagine if Spotify tried to host their downloads on a SquareSpace account, how many microseconds would it be before that account was banned. Even a 10 Mb APK isn’t cheap to host w

I'd argue no tax code is needed, just treat C corps like S corps and LLCs. 1) Increase the incentives to save and invest in the U.S/ 2) Restore progressivity to the tax code by taxing profits when paid to investors on a progressiv
