The tweet didn't imply anything about taxes. It implied that he knows this is the peak of the market and he's trying to get out before the collapse happens without drawing attention to it.So, to touch on all of those points. Pelosi is much more of a crook than Feinstein. Dick Blum had made a pretty damn good fortune before she married him, and while they are not the cleanest, they are not the dirtiest. Paul Pelosi was a middling investment banker who got right exactly because of his wife. My very educated opinion on those.
My point was that the tweet alleged that Gates was conspiring to avoid taxes by getting divorced. There are just too many good ways not to pay taxes and retain more control, especially if you are that rich, and that committed to not leaving money to the next generation above a certain amount. But it literally did allege that he was "conspiring" to do something with his wife. Hence conspiracy. I am not an accountant for sure, but I am sure any accountant on here could come up with a number of charitable trusts, remainders etc, that would be a lot more satisfactory than divorce.
I do agree that "conspiracy" has become overused. I will endeavor to find other words, but there is a lot of conspiracy thinking out there. It isn't necessarily an insult. Sometimes seeing a conspiracy is seeing a conspiracy that is actually happening. I mean, people do conspire. Racist is more overused, and more abused, to the point of being useless unless discussing the hypocrisy of the new racists, err the anti-racists, or whatever.
Implying he knows something is coming, I'd assume
