I was wrong with my number yesterday. Got the final number and the wire is complete. Wanted to be accurate. Do I expect all of it to be used wisely. Of course not. But I'm still proud to be able to give back to our country. I've said it for years. After military service, paying your taxes is the most patriotic thing we can do.

@mcuban You don't expect it to be used wisely, but you're happy to be forced to hand it over. One of the most absurd things I've ever heard. And yet I still believe you'd spend that money far better than the government. Taxastion isn't patriotic. It's extortion to evil, inept people.
@mcuban A true patriot unlike the MAGA grifters. 👍
I never thought I’d look at you and think this but you are truly precious. Not a lot of people would come back to say they were wrong in a previous statement. Whether you had to wire $288 million or $275 million, your point has been made eloquently. Everyone should pay their taxes, like you, because it is the most patriotic thing you can do.
@mcuban Taxation is not “giving back to our country.” It is the government taking it from you under the threat of jail.
@mcuban So about 220ish million from 2023? Assuming similar income Does that come out close to the 39% or what effective tax rate is that?
Interesting. If you wanted to “pay your fair share,” why not just let them take the $288M? I guess you don’t care about giving back after all. Another democrat billionaire virtue signaling to the sheeple. Why haven’t you called on Briben to pay his “fair share” of the $41M he’s somehow worth on 55+ years of “public service.”
Everyone give Mark a break. He‘s paying his taxes like we all do, and I bet he’s paying more than say, Bezos is. That 288M will find it’s way to Ukraine where a village of six will be fed potatoes and knee scrapings for one week, while the remaining fund will be used for more important things, like administrative fees and “war stuff”… Hey, he paid his taxes. Lighten up. And he paid 288M! I’m getting a bit of a chubby just thinking about that…
@mcuban Wouldn't a real patriot pay at least twice what they owe?
@mcuban Paying $275 million to fund the war in Palestine and Ukraine is crazy.
