Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires think they can buy our democracy.
They are wrong. Together, we will defeat oligarchy.

A new poll of CA millionaires found:
- 57% support Prop 40
- 78% agree billionaires have too much influence in state elections
Read this week's Closer Look to learn what CA millionaires *actually* think about taxing their peers in the billionaire class: patrioticmillionaires.org/pe…

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

As Nigeria navigates the shift towards a more sustainable future, tax policy can play a critical role in supporting the fossil fuel phase-out while strengthening domestic resource mobilisation.
TJNA’s policy brief, in partnership with Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Taxation as a Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Strategy: Nigeria, explores how taxation can support this transition and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable economic future.

Mark Zuckerberg’s threat to leave CA if voters approve a 5% billionaire wealth tax was a bluff.
He’s not alone. Since Prop 40 was filed, CA gained 32 billionaires & billionaires in CA got $381 billion richer.
Yes. It’s time for a billionaire wealth tax. It starts in California.

IMF surcharges help fund the IMF by covering lending, intermediation costs, accumulating financial reserves and managing risk. Austerity in the Global South should not fuel the institutional functioning of @IMFNews.

Share this post as widely as possible. No matter where you live, this referendum affects you.
Thank you all so much.
To my friends in California: the whole world is watching.
YES on Prop 40. NO on Props 41 and 42.
The forces of democracy will prevail over the forces of oligarchy.

We have just 12 days left to win a historic victory.
The clock is ticking.
California's billionaires have poured $300 million into a massive disinformation campaign designed to deceive voters and mislead the public.
To counter it, I need your help.

California voters are dismantling, one by one, the excuses billionaires around the world — from @BernardArnault to Jim Ratcliffe to @MartinLorentzon long used to avoid paying taxes.
The arrangement @Meta has just made for Zuckerberg shows, for example, that the supposed issues of “losing control” billionaires constantly invoke is a smokescreen.

California voters can make MAGA billionaires who support Donald Trump — like Peter Thiel, the founder of @PalantirTech , and Sergey Brin, the co-founder of @Google — their fair share.
They can show the world that it is possible to stand up to the same tired arguments billionaires always use to avoid taxation: threats to leave, claims that they can’t pay, warnings that innovation will suffer, and so on.
