Part IV of The Donald Trump Tax.

“The guy is our Einstein.”
– RWT Jamie Dimon, talking about RWT Elon Musk
***
I wrote The Donald Trump Tax after Joe Biden’s election. Silly me…brainfarting some concept about penalizing wealthy fascists for trying—and failing—to manipulate our 45th President.
Part II popped into my head after the Robinhood trading incident. Rich-boys don’t like the poors gaming their casino.
Part III happened a while later. That post inspired what you’re reading now.
Thinking about the third post fresh, it might be too harsh on a group of higher-earning folks. I state that wealthier Democrats should also be subject to this penalty called “The Donald Trump Tax” because they played a part in enabling the stupidest presidential administration (until this current presidential administration, I mean) in the history of the United States.
But maybe I was a tad harsh.
True, the higher-earning, “both sides are bad” Democrats did play a part and they did it for the benjamins, yes. But I can’t lump them in with the well-off crowd who supports Project 2025, Peter Thiel’s Silicon Valley incels, or Team HitlerJesus. Those Democrats don’t deserve it.
However…they do deserve a penalty for their role in our current predicament. My solution is two different fines: the Donald Trump Tax and the Elon Musk Tax.
Wealthier Trump supporters would be subject to both the Donald Trump Tax and the Elon Musk Tax, while the wealthier Democrats only pay the Elon Musk Tax.
Each tax should be enough to hurt, so the double taxation will doubly hurt the Nazis, as it should. Why? Because Nazis are bad.
My thoughts on the Donald Trump Tax have been explained, re-read those posts if you want. Now I’ll talk about the Elon Musk Tax.
First off, the idea stems from a conversation, maybe three years ago. It was before Apartheid Clyde showed his Nazi side. (For the record, I always thought he sucked.)
The person I talked to was not a Trumpster. Solid Democrat. Executive-level, big company, does well. But while he voted Democrat, he also had had it with the Left. Wokesters, too. Though he was no Republican, he resented poor folks who took from the rich. Many like him, and his mindset wasn’t the worst, by far.
But one day…whoa. He revealed a stupidity, one which prompted me to deduce that others like him believed what he believed, back in those simpler times.
Casual as can be, he stated that Elon Musk invented the electric car. To him, this was the reason why he is worth so much and shouldn’t pay taxes.
Like I said…whoa.
This conversation hits funny now, after Elon Nazi-saluted away his Tesla brand equity. I remember when so many saw a once-in-a-generation genius and confused his intellect with Nikola Tesla’s (which was by design).
World: a lot of non-Trumpster Americans will never admit it because Phony Stark has revealed his fascist core. But, a few years back, too many people saw him as a genetic superior, the Super-Duper-Man of Trickle-Down Economics. We’re not talking full-on Master Race energy like 1930s Germany, but the mojo was still somewhat master-racy and it still exists.
TDE needs a person to embrace a fake idea in order for the effect to take hold. Because they were finagled and went along with it, the ones who reaped some of the rewards should pay a penalty. But less of a fine than others.
To recap: wealthier, Nazi-MAGAt, white nationalist, regressive, science-hating, fossil-fuel-loving, American-Taliban assholes should pay both the Donald Trump Tax and the Elon Musk Tax, while wealthier Democrats pay the Elon Musk Tax.
If my solution seems drastic, remember: these are unprecedented times.
In all seriousness, the USA should not be in the position that it is now. Disappearing Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is a travesty. The threats to all Americans’ rights are real. RFK Jr. is going to kill more people with his ramshackle management of HHS. And Elon Musk and his DOGE charade got enabled by privileged stupidity.
Some profiteered from turning their critical thinking skills off. So we tax these folks and invest in education.
The world needs more critical thinkers. The USA needs to #TaxTheRich.
People are protesting and speaking out. Join in. Non-violent resistance scares those who need to be taxed.

I write fiction and have two dark comedies available, Fearkiller (Volume 1) and Notes from Trillionaire Island: Fearkiller (Volume 2), as well as Revolutionizer Alpha, the first book in a sci-fi series. I also wrote a story about God. It was weird, but then I decided to make the story and its sequel free. And all of the sudden, it didn’t seem as weird. Writing about God is much less weird when you write about God without charging money for it. Here’s my professional site, my trade. Follow me on Medium.
