Being one of the world’s wealthiest people doesn’t mean having billions of dollars sitting in a bank account.
In this clip, Elon Musk explains that his wealth is largely tied to his ownership stakes in companies like SpaceX and Tesla. He says that maintaining sufficient voting control is important to him because he wants to remain in charge of the companies he has helped build.
He also addresses the subject of taxation, pointing out that his wealth is tied to company ownership and that those holdings can be subject to significant taxes.
Musk makes another interesting remark: there is no magical way to avoid taxes, and if such a method existed, he would know about it.
This highlights an important distinction between personal wealth, company ownership, voting power, and available cash.
Does owning a large stake in a company make someone wealthy, or does having control over that company matter just as much?
