So every billionaire’s “eccentric”?
Kay bye
Where? Europe? Japan? Canada? where policies are more progressive than the US?
He's not an "eccentric billionaire," he's a psychopathic robber baron fascist.
Let him move to a small island without modern communication of any sort.
Then just as he leaves the US, tax him 95% of his net worth.

Thanks for letting the IRS know. Now's the time to hit them with the 90% tax rate please.
There's been a few of these stories lately, about billionaires "thinking about" leaving the US. Just shut up and do it already. Nobody cares. Good riddance.
Right. Like what are we supposed to miss? The taxes they don’t pay? The money they’ve stolen? Who cares?
I mean “job creators” is such bunk. They harvest worker’s lives for personal gain. There’d be a rough transition period if they vanished but well… we’re used to it.
They have this vain idea that the world would grind to a halt without them, but they’re parasites. I’m sure we’d flourish.
