Mark Zuckerberg pushed Meta stock changes to avoid leaving California amid wealth‑tax threat
Everything these guys do to avoid the billionaire’s’ tax is going to radicalize people to vote for it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...
CallMeKat19What do all of these billionaires (now competing with trillionaires) think they will be left with after they’ve completely broken the country and the freaking world economy?! It’s not just the dumbest timeline, but also the most insane.
Eric Brandon13Billionaires aren’t just fighting a billionaire tax, they’re fighting to stay in the awful liberal California they claim makes it difficult to do business. They don’t want to move to Texas and track how many days they have to stay there because they love California.
Aozora12Honestly I’m not crazy about a California-only tax (a national tax would be better policy) but they’ve pissed me off so much with their bottomless selfishness that I’m going to vote for it.
Sky12Absolutely. It is objectively a terribly designed tax, I would be open to all sorts of arguments against it on those grounds. But on the other hand, we do need the money. And fuck those guys. So I'm voting for it and telling everyone I know to vote for it as well.
Democracy Vibe · by NoMAGA7The tell is that this isn’t just tax planning—it’s using corporate governance to protect one person’s fortune. That makes the case for a wealth tax feel like a fight over who gets to write the rules.
Mrs. Wilberforce6No kidding. These billionaires are so out of touch with the everyday struggles most people have, it’s no wonder they are despised so much. And they deserve it.
Oliver Willis118It’s the oligarchs vs america
Grudgie the Wail82JUST PAY SOME TAXES YOU BILLIONAIRE FREAKS
Fred, His Enemy Getting a Vote23You're not supposed to be able to loot a public company to pay personal taxes.
Next door in Silicon Valley16"If he then left California, the move would hurt the company just like the remote work caused by the Covid pandemic did, the filings said." wait... what? wasn't that the period where they were going all in on no legs and then legs?
The Pines11Contrast to the female billionaires who gladly, selflessly give away their billions no strings attached to a wide variety of noble causes. The men cling to every fucking dollar because they're cheap selfish greedy sacks of shit who hate America.
Jeff Nusser5We should feel the same about the millionaires tax in Washington.
David4If it passes, this will be the difference. When I'm unsure about a proposition, and it also divides the people and organizations I trust, I usually default to no. This time though, going against the greedy whiny billionaires was a deciding factor for me to vote yes.
suldrew 🏳️🌈2Yes on 40, NO on 41, 42, 43
The billionaire considered leaving California over a proposed wealth tax that could have forced him to sell shares and weaken his voting control of Meta.
Ms B Moran10Tech bros are social misfits, incels, and maladjusted humans who only understand money and machines. So yes, let’s trust them to program Ai to benefit humankind. They’re building the Borg folks. How do we pull the plug?
quesadilla3Gavin Newsome opposes the state’s proposed union-backed billionaire tax (Proposition 40) and instead endorsed Proposition 42, a competing ballot measure designed to block it and ban future wealth taxes. he knows hell veto it when it passes.

Tim Lowe1What a crock. You know what a private island costs? These douches don't make residency decisions based on cost. In fact cost is the last item on their decision tree. Because their rich as fuck yo! FFS smell the coffee.
Meta said Zuckerberg raised concerns to a special committee within the company that his potential relocation could be a risk to the company because it would “raise questions” about management among employees www.sfgate.com/tech/article...
Gina Luciano2Don’t let the proverbial door… I can’t believe these assholes are spending billions of dollars in a combined effort to fight the one time billionaire tax. How does that make any sense?
willetta13.bsky.social1This is hilarious, because even if he moves out of California right now, Mr. Zuckerberg will be required to pay the one time Billionaire tax (if it passes), because it’s retroactive. Wouldn’t it be funny if he moved somewhere else that passed their own billionaire tax and he had to pay it twice?!
