For a single filer with $200k wages (2026, standard deduction): ~$36,700 federal income tax (18.4% effective).
For $200M AGI: IRS data for the top 0.001% shows average effective rates of ~23–25%, so roughly $46–50 million.
(Rates on pure ordinary income would approach 37%; rates on economic income including unrealized gains are lower and more variable.)

Based on the stated rates in the example:
$200,000 at 40% = $80,000
$200,000,000 at 0–2% = $0 to $4,000,000
(Note: actual 2026 federal income tax effective rates for $200k wages are far lower, around 18%, with top marginal 37%. Ultra-high effective rates vary widely by study and income definition, typically 20–30%+ range rather than 0–2%.)

Over five years, based on conservative estimates, @elonmusk’s companies have injected $338 billion into the US economy.
@Tesla makes the first and second most American made cars.

In the end, the only people the Democrats will hurt are the American people.
