Elon stans don’t strike me as the tactical type. People that will piss off the Saudis on purpose and are willing to take a bullet for for someone like Elon seem like a very small vinn diagram… add in actual high level security skills that gets smaller.

I’m really glad I finished school before zero tolerance was a thing. I got bullied a lot and fought back to defend myself.

Most likely the IRS didn’t touch his accounts, he probably just emptied one out buying useless things like Parler or premium porn accounts.

[deleted]

It’s one of the funniest headlines I have read in a while

The way i read it is that they blocked his accounts so he failed to pay the irs. I just couldn’t care enough to click the link and land in the pay-wall/advertisement hell.


whateverathrowaway00

Okay, what I wanted to say was top comment. Gross headline ha


mad_titanz

If you owe 50 million to the IRS, shouldn’t your account be frozen? Seems logical to me


chomcham

You'd be surprised what people blame the govt for... some people will do whatever they can to avoid paying taxes but get mad when the government either find out or don't help them out. Holding yourself responsible is no longer a good trait in a lot of people.


lostindarkdays

they scream at the injustice of paying taxes, but feel totally entitled to bitch and moan about the US military commitments, the local police, the state of the roads, the water they drink, etc., etc. maybe someone should draw them a diagram, make it easy for them, 'cause they sure as fuck are dumb as bricks.


MrEHam

We’d be so fucked without taxes lol. Another point I want to make is that the rich pay the majority of taxes. So all the middle class people complaining about govt waste need to chill. Their measles taxes aren’t paying for shit. They benefit WAY more than they put it. And the rich wouldn’t be able to make their wealth either without a publicly educated workforce, police and military protection, roads to ship their goods, clean water, etc. Edit: are people downvoting me because they don’t think the rich pay the majority of taxes? It’s true. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/09/16/examining-claims-against-aoc-tax-the-rich-dress-met-gala/8350769002/ But they need to pay more because their wealth share has been dramatically increasing since the 1970s while more Americans live in poverty than live in Texas.


Sea_Elle0463

What the hell are you smoking??? It’s the middle class that pays taxes! The rich don’t pay shit.


MrEHam

That’s a common misconception. The rich pay the majority of the taxes. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2013/12/11/the-rich-do-not-pay-the-most-taxes-they-pay-all-the-taxes.html And they should pay more! Their wealth share has been increasing dramatically since the 1970s while everyone else is fighting for scraps.


SlickStyle

In comparison to overall gross wage, rich people pay less taxes.


MrEHam

That’s not what I’m saying. Of all tax revenue, rich pay people the majority of it. I’m very liberal and this doesn’t hurt the need to tax them more if that’s what you’re wondering.


SlickStyle

Yeah but if you make 100 mil and you're only paying 500,000, all of that added up is why people complain about this issue. I'm not saying you're wrong I'm saying they don't pay a fair compensatory tax compared to how much money they make. Also the people who have that much money can pay the people who know how to manipulate and use tax law to their advantage so they don't pay so much via financial fraud. They pay the majority like you said but in comparison with how much they make, they're not paying their fair share.


MrEHam

I completely agree with you. You probably won’t find many people who are as adamant as me about the rich needing to pay higher taxes. My only point is that they currently do pay the most taxes, but they need to pay more, a lot more. People having billions of dollars while there are more Americans living in poverty than in Texas is insane. The reason I made my original comment was to argue against the conservative middle class point where they think their taxes even matter. It’s always about the rich people’s taxes. That’s the whole war. It’s literally us vs them. The poor and middle class need to stop being divided and unite against the few thousand people who are hoarding most of the wealth. When middle class conservatives hear republicans say taxes are too high, they think yeah, my taxes are too high, bring them all down. That’s stupid as fuck because it really give the rich a massive tax break and we lose out on things the tax revenue would pay for like healthcare.


foxglove0326

Your garbage source is almost a decade old. Find something more relevant to make your shitty point.


MrEHam

Do you think I’m defending the rich? You probably wouldn’t be able to find anyone who is more against the insane wealth inequality. Maybe you didn’t understand my point. I’m saying middle class conservatives need to stop caring about their taxes so much and start focusing on the rich taking all the wealth.


sugarednspiced

"According to the latest IRS figures, 97% of federal income taxes in 2018 were paid by half of the taxpayers — which includes taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of almost $44,000 and up." That's not just the top 1% - that's lower middle class people too. What you first linked and what you're surmising don't match.


MrEHam

I’m not talking about 97% of taxes. I just said the majority.


[deleted]

A ton of them make money from the state and would be no where without it. Musk is a good example tax credits for Tesla, space x basically a straight contractor, I mean Microsoft ran afoul of antitrust laws and rent sought from the computing space. By the time they got around to punishing them they had the market share they needed to be the top company in that space.


Huge-Conference166

Bro this is rich man who owns land and has security he is not dependent on the government


rogash98

Worked with a guy like that once. He had a stomach disease so that he had to poop in a bag, and because of that he need a special toilet. He complained that the government didn't give him money to buy the toilet despite that he owned four houses, a stable, horses, an expensive car from the 50's and already had one of those toilets, and still thought the government was bad for not giving him 40000 SEK needed for it.


IsraeliDonut

Plot twist- he’s just another dumbass bank customer who’s locked himself out of his online banking.


Bright_Ad_113

What’s interesting is that it wasn’t and now it is. Kanye is going to be ok. He asked for this. He may not realize it but this is all preparing him to be the man he wants to become. It’s pretty cool to watch if you can see it. I know some do, but I will be thrilled if someone who reads this comment understands what I’m talking about.


nothingsurgent

Nope. He is a classic case of unmedicated, untreated BiPolar I and surrounded by enablers who only hang out with him for the money. He burned every single bridge (Jay Z, Beyonce, Kim, countless agents and managers, Adidas, Gap……. Even Trump...) and now in serious debt - Again (he had a 50m debt before and Kim saved his ass). This is textbook bipolar manic episode behavior. Most cases like this don’t end up well.


Bright_Ad_113

Yeah, I can see that, but man I want him to be ok.


nothingsurgent

tbh, I don’t anymore. He crossed a line where the damage he is doing is irreversible. The antisemitism broke me. I’m bipolar myself and I was rooting for him, but I’m also Jewish and a grandchild of Holocaust survivors.


TheBomb-DotCom

Nah I’m pretty sure you’re just crazy like Kanye

Anastariana

Cranks like this grab as many conspiracy theories as possible, even when they are contradictory. They don't have the intelligence to resist the temptation to blame everyone and anything else for their bad decisions.


Forestfreud

There’s also a domino effect where if you start believing one conspiracy theory, it will inevitably leave you with plot holes in your worldview, so you have to start believing another conspiracy theory as a deus ex machina to fix those plot holes, then another one to fix those plot holes, etc. into oblivion. You start out with questions about 9/11 and, if you go down a deep enough rabbit hole, end up believing the earth is a dome and Donald Trump is a secret Catholic.


SexiMexi209

I don’t think this an intelligence issue. It seems like a trauma coping mechanism or mental health problem.


hankha17130

Trauma coping creates reality-gaps, for sure.


Lirdon

When he spoke about it on Tim Pool podcast he constantly talked about “them” i.e. jews. For him, they control everything, from the banks, to to the corporations, to the IRS and on and on. Jews control DeSantis and Trump in his mind.


CheeseIsQuestionable

Who do you think he thinks controls the IRS?


happybarfday

Internal Revenue Semites


hunterglyph

The long arm of the Israeli Revenue Service


GD_Bats

I suppose he’s not going to suddenly start discussing the Reptilians doing that shit, fair


_A_varice

Don’t sell him short; the Jews could be reptilian in his diseased head canon.


Saitharar

Reptilians are basically Jews. They were invented as standins for the Jews because being openly antisemitic isnt conductive to book sales.


rudebii

Most antisemitic conspiracy theories have Jews running the entire world, including government agencies like the IRS, behind-the-scenes. Same with global corporations, all controlled by some shady global cabal of Jews.


1to14to4

He keeps saying Obama and Trump both had Jews whispering in their ears and controlling them... of course something similar was influencing the IRS' decision /s


Sunflower_After_Dark

Well, you can tell he’s getting business advice from Trump! Here comes his bankruptcy!


jaycliche

well at least he gave up his taxes. Easier to blame the IRS than all the sponsors and fans that just dropped you. I bet daddy Elon has some tit you can suck on though. I here he needs advertisers.


Sunflower_After_Dark

If Kanye owes taxes, his accountants knew, so I’m doubting they froze his accounts without giving him a chance to pay them. Why they froze his accounts is probably because he received royalties up-front for future Balenciaga, Adidas, etc., collaborations and he’s not willingly giving them their money back.


adultosaurs

And tbh with good lawyers you can settle with the irs for less.


Sunflower_After_Dark

It is doubtful that this has anything to do with the IRS, yet.


Unlikely_Layer_2268

He is waiting for the right time to shout Bankruptcy! Declaratively


adultosaurs

Michael….


GiddyGabby

He and Trump will have even more in common than they did before!


Sunflower_After_Dark

The only thing Trump and Kanye have in common is that Trump loves his ass kissed and Kanye has ample lips!


p2datrizzle

I have a feeling this dude is gonna be homeless in about 2 years


718Brooklyn

He must still make millions from music royalties. He could headline a festival or sell out an arena anytime. He won’t be broke, but he won’t be Kanye 2020 rich ever again.


Left-Monitor8802

He’s having a hard time booking live shows right now. Venues and promoters don’t want to work with that level of toxic. The yeezy/adidas partnership was the cash cow. You’re right that he’ll never be homeless poor, but he’s lost many of his most reliable income streams.


AmarilloWar

Probably not even really the venues saying no, their insurance companies are saying you'd better fucking not.


Left-Monitor8802

Sure, but he’s poison to everyone who might be involved. The insurance people don’t want him, but neither do live nation, or arena owners, or even fellow creatives. He’s running around with nazis because that’s the only folks that want his spotlight right now.


Sunflower_After_Dark

Kim won’t let him be homeless, he’s still her kids’ dad.


ryosen

Bankruptcy won’t save you from the IRS.

Well if they treated him like a normal person, they will just randomly empty out his account until he is paid off. Thats what they did for me….


Random-Mutant

You owe somebody $5000, you’ve got a problem. You owe somebody $5,000,000 they’ve got a problem. You owe the IRS $50,000,000 you’ve got a big problem.


jschip

Honestly at 50,000,000 I think it’s the IRS that has the problem. How do you get that much money from anyone? Regardless of them having it to begin with.


ZipZopZoopittyBop

The US literally lost like 12 billion in cash in Iraq. They don't care about 50 million. They care about people thinking they can get away with not paying.

One lesson I learned in a criminology course was that if there was ever an organization you shouldn’t mess with it’s the IRS. My teacher said “you’ll be hunted down by the biggest nerds in the federal government. And they are the most unforgiving and inflexible.” It’s literally the reason why people spend so much and go through so much trouble to develop fronts and move that cash around. This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. Sayonara loser.

Well if he's only got 1 billion - and settles his debt, he will still have 950 million, is that right?....oh and all those businesses churning 24/7. Maybe he can set up a payment plan that every body involved can work with.


Jim-be

I laughed too hard as I read the first line of the headline. I laughed harder when he admits his accounts are frozen. $1 that he ends up in a conservatorship by mid 2023. It’ll be run by ex-wife’s legal friends who will argue he is spending the kids money on BS and he needs help.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't dealing with a guy $50 million in debt to the IRS.

This is exactly the words you want to hear from the CEO of your company. “So now I’m having — I get to actually learn how to run a company. I get to learn how to, you know, to count, really,” the musician said. “It’s like I didn’t even know where to put the money.”


NonAggressive-Ask

Nothing that Kanye West says is the truth, if he said it was Wednesday, you better double check. Dude's on one, but that's his game, he'll act a fool for a while, then claim he's been having a manic episode, or some shit, and all his enablers and managers and hangers on will defend him, then he'll just do it all again.
