can someone please explain how meta is paying the tax for him?

> said shareholders holding a majority of the company’s voting power have approved amendments …doesn’t this mean Zuckerberg himself?

This counts as paying the tax, so that’s a win no matter how they shuffled the bill around amongst themselves.

As part of this deal he agreed to stay in California for 8 years. So let's keep taxing that wealth year after year.

How much of a tax would it take to make him move to Texas with the others??

How poorly is the law written that it allows for this?

It sucks that Zuck doesn't pay the taxes himself, and that Meta did it for him. But this is way less worse than the likely alternative of him not paying any taxes given it current political situation.
