Elon Musk responds to the "SpaceX IPO tax avoidance plan" discussion: will not sell any shares
Mars Finance News: On May 16, U.S. real estate investor Barrett Linburg posted an idea for an “Opportunity Zone” tax structure around a potential IPO for SpaceX, saying that if SpaceX were listed under the code SPCX and achieved a valuation of 2 trillion, Musk could sell his shares after the lock-up period ends and move the capital gains into a qualified opportunity fund to receive long-term deferral benefits and even tax-exempt treatment.
The proposal envisions Musk using Opportunity Zones where Texas-based Starbase and the chip manufacturing project Terafab are located to make infrastructure investments, and then having SpaceX lease back the related assets to achieve effects such as capital gains deferral, depreciation tax deductions, and a long-term tax-free exit.
Subsequently, Musk himself briefly responded on social media, saying: “I am not selling any shares.”
