What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

California's proposed Proposition 40 would impose a one-time 5% tax on the total net worth of any Californian worth more than $1 billion. Critics argue this policy threatens innovation and encourages businesses to leave the state. As a result, high-earning founders, including Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page, are reportedly moving their fortunes elsewhere.
