@DallasAptGP .

A crazy tax idea for Elon Musk. He could become the biggest OZ investor in history. The IPO is the trigger. SpaceX goes public June 12 under the ticker SPCX and the valuation might go to $2 trillion. The largest IPO ever. Insider lockup runs 180 days. It expires around December 15. The day it ends, insiders can sell. Every share sold throws off a capital gain. For Elon, holding billions in SpaceX paper, the gain is staggering. Under the new Opportunity Zone rules that take effect January 1, 2027, any capital gain rolled into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days of the sale earns a five-year tax deferral. Sell in late December 2026. Invest in early 2027. The tax bill is not due until 2032. If the QOF investment is held for ten years, the entire appreciation comes out tax-free. No capital gains. No depreciation recapture. Zero. But Elon isn't going to suddenly start investing in apartments or hotels in low income areas. He is going to remain obsessed with investing in his core businesses. Good news. The town of Starbase, Texas sits inside an Opportunity Zone census tract. Grimes County, where Musk is building a $55 billion semiconductor fab called Terafab, has three OZ tracts of its own. Elon could sell SPCX shares after lockup. Roll the gain into his own Qualified Opportunity Fund. Use that fund to build infrastructure at Starbase or finance the Terafab site. Then lease the asset back to the public company. SpaceX pays the rent. The rent is deductible to SpaceX. The depreciation flows to Elon and offsets his other income for a decade. Then he sells the QOF interest in 2037. No tax on the appreciation. No recapture on the depreciation. The original gain that funded it all was deferred to 2032. The IPO funds the infrastructure. The infrastructure runs the company. The taxpayer pays nothing for ten years and almost nothing forever. This is the crazy idea. The mechanics are real. The zones are real. The IPO is real. I am glad to advise his tax team. 🤠

Democrats have been insane for a long time. In 2020, 62% of Democrats say they'd prefer a giant meteor to strike the earth and extinguish all human life... than see President Trump get re-elected. These people are insane.

@FredLambert @DVanLangenhove if child protection was the goal, why doesnt Starmer focus on, I dunno, the pandemic of gang rape of children in the UK? because its really about restricting speech, we all know it

@DVanLangenhove Man, you are really working hard to make sure X/xAI/Elon are able to produce sexualized images of kids. Nice legacy you are working on.

Keir Starmer has asked British media regulator Ofcom to work out plans to ban X in the UK, pointing at the Online Safety Act to implement such a ban. In reality both the UK and EU have already worked out plans to ban X. If Republicans lose the 2028 election or if the Trump cabinet doesn't put enough pressure to avert such a ban, it will be implemented sooner rather than later. This is why we, Europeans, must use every day of this window of opportunity of free speech to try to save European civilisation from destruction by the E.U.-elites. We must not take this freedom of speech for granted. Luckily, @repluna, who serves on the House foreign affairs committee says legislation is being drafted to “sanction not only Starmer, but Britain as a whole” if it moves to ban X.

@tofer_dreamer @WSJ @WSJopinion right. must be why EU X subscriptions have accelerated ??? c'mon man

@WSJ @WSJopinion EU citizens seem for most of them very proud of the fine. The critics comes mainly from outside.

From @WSJopinion: It’s rare for a single policy move to create so much economic self-sabotage and diplomatic harm in one stroke, but Europe is succeeding. The European Commission proves its critics right by fining Elon Musk’s social platform. on.wsj.com/4poPnGn

@GlobalPropGuide right. so people want to live where woke b/s is banned

@netanyahu Thank You, Israel!

Prime Minister's Office: Today's action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation. Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.

@elonmusk imagine being a populace lectured on child safety by your same govt that brutally resisted a national enquiry into child rape gangs. disingenuous much?

@ellymelly libs chose Dutton. Dems chose Kamala unelectable losers. End of...

Why do you think people voted for Albo? Not joking answers - but real ones. How does a country on the edge of ruin vote for the dude who ruined them???

@TcameronTodd Thin edge of the censorship wedge. They deserve zero electoral faith that it is anything but this. Own goal indeed Labor doing what dems did in US... own goaling their way to us sufferring Dutton as PM

Good strategy is about choosing the highest impact areas to expend resources; time, expertise and taxpayer’s money I doubt this would be in the top 1000 problems in Australia right now. Own goal

@TcameronTodd Massive own goal from the dems. They thoroughly deserve the lesson they are copping, but will it stick?

The world is an interesting place The whole point of democracy is choice The system has produced the outcome, and that needs to be respected Now let’s see how Elon does finance and RFKJr does health 🤔 If nothing else, it will be a lesson

@elonmusk Just not for Australians.

It’s a great car

@TcameronTodd Superb event !!

My day today and tomorrow is running a digital event for a General Practice Owners I love GP. Without a strong primary care layer, our health system is screwed #SGPO

@TcameronTodd Novid....

#ThePortal is just a big FaceTime New York to Dublin is crazy diversity 🙄 Hope it closes that cultural divide

@TcameronTodd Hustle culture FTW

How busy do you heve to be to need this 😂

@TcameronTodd The water running underneath. And the dulcet tones of the coxswain.

Was 60 minutes into a 90 minute workout and realised I only had the noise cancelling on I usually listen to an audiobook (business) working out and occasionally music I’ve had lots of ‘noise’ lately and enjoyed the silence What do you listen to working out?

@fmk_RoI After living in France for a year, I formed the view that however it came, the coffee quality was almost always a bit shit

@MikeCarlton01 Here it is in real trouble. Thriving globally though (union, not league obvs)
