also no billionaires just sit on 270billion of liquidity ready to be taxed 14 billion from. It's just largely his google stock value in 2026. So does california force him to sell all of his stock and assets so that he is forced to report 270 billion income/cash on hand and they can get their grubby hands on it lol?
