I'm all for corporations and the wealthy paying their fair share of taxes, which they often don't.
However, revenue is **not** income and gains on investments are unrealized gains until you sell your shares and withdraw the cash.
If I'm reading Tesla's income statement correctly, they expect to pay something like $1.4B in taxes on $5.2B in income for 2025. _Figures calculated using fuzzy pre-coffee math in my head and may not reflect any reasonable accounting standards_

I think people are upset about that loophole. Businesses buy yachts, trips around the world and bribing politicians for their owners and the common person is just trying to not die.
