FUN WITH NUMBERS: HOW TESLA PAYS LESS IN TAXES THAN YOU 📢

Alright, kids, time for today’s math lesson! Grab your calculators and try to solve this riddle:

🚗 Tesla’s 2022 earnings: $5.5 BILLION

💰 Federal taxes paid: $0

🤑 Tesla’s 2023 earnings: $3.1 BILLION

💵 Federal taxes paid: $48 million (a whole 1.5% of earnings)

📉 Tesla’s 2024 earnings: $2.3 BILLION

💸 Federal taxes paid: $0 (Again!)

Now, let’s compare that to an average American making $50,000 a year.

🎯 Federal tax rate? ~12%

🎯 Amount paid? ~$6,000

Tesla paid less than 0.5% in taxes over three years—or the equivalent of a regular worker paying $250 per year.

And just to make things extra fun, guess how much Tesla happily handed over to China in taxes during that same time?

🇨🇳 $1 BILLION. That’s right—Tesla pays 20X more to China than to the country that made Elon Musk the world’s richest man.

So, next time Musk pretends to be a champion of American values, remember:

He’s making billions, paying almost nothing here, and writing billion-dollar checks to foreign governments. What a patriot!
