Is there a website that tracks every California billionaire (who built their entire career inside the state and benefited immensely from it) who moved to Florida or Texas because CA passed a modest new tax on the ultra, ultra wealthy to help pay their share for the state that made them rich?
Seeing both Google founders flee the state, then Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel and now Uber CEO Travis K they're all cowards who want to take their ball and go home instead of slicing a tiny portion off their insanely high wealth that will already last them hundreds of years

@mathowie Thought I'd peek in Wikipedia, and...

"In December 2025, Page and Brin, worth a combined $520 billion, terminated or moved out of California sixty limited liability companies that hold their assets."

SIXTY? It saddens me that these two were once dorky ass grad students. Look what money turned them into.

@archagon back when I was a grad student I made $800/mo from a research grant and my apartment was $400/mo and I carry the lessons I learned from those years and still think about it every day, 30 years later.

@archagon @mathowie Imagine the horror if they got taxed down to only having $400 billion between the two of them? The belt tightening would be excruciating! They might have to share one belt to tighten.
