How to Earn a Billion Dollars

What would actually happen is tax revenue would drop because the guy would hit the limit and quit followed by the company collapsing without anyone leading it. Commies will literally never learn.

Musk was AWOL running the US government for months without any apparent impact. Even after he got back to work, he's running enough companies he's clearly part-time on at least some of them.

Jobs died. Bezos and Gates stepped down. Things continued!

Yeah, they're goofy, for the same reasons the extreme libertarian anti-tax folks are goofy. Each pretends the complexity of humanity can just be waved away.

You really believe CEOs or business owners are single handedly holding billion dollar businesses together? Why don't these companies regularly die when they die or step down then?
