Musk claims SpaceX and Tesla wouldn’t have flourished under them in 2008

Posted in Elon Musk, space travel, sustainability

Elon Musk is at it again on Twitter, this time taking shots at the White House’s plan to impose a “billionaires’ tax” in the U.S.

Musk agreed with another tweeter’s statement by writing “SpaceX & Tesla would probably have died,” if there was a similar tax initiative in 2008, as “both narrowly escaped bankruptcy in 2008.”

## Elon Musk could pay an additional $50 billion in taxes.

@JimPethokoukis Good point. SpaceX & Tesla would probably have died, since both narrowly escaped bankruptcy in 2008.
