Evidence (2024-07-03): In late June 2024, a post on the Facebook page SpaceXMania claimed that "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg sued Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., for $10 million.

This isn’t just a normal celebrity argument; it’s a big $60 million defamation lawsuit. That’s right.

Evidence (2023-11-16): In a move that has left many scratching their heads, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has filed a $60 million lawsuit against Whoopi Goldberg and The View. According to Musk, the talk show hosts have been spreading lies about him and his companies, and he’s had enough. [...] The lawsuit, which was filed in a Los Angeles court, accuses Goldberg and the other hosts of making defamatory statements about Musk and his companies, including SpaceX and Tesla.

Claim: “Elon Musk sues The View and Whoopi Goldberg for $60 million.” (Facebook posts, 2024-05-25)
Evidence (2022-07-27): Today, Whoopi Goldberg may be known for being a firebrand on "The View" to some, but that barely scratches the surface. Before she became a daytime talk show host, Whoopi Goldberg was one of the few actresses to become a coveted EGOT winner. Goldberg has taken home all of the industry’s coveted awards — and was, in fact, the first Black woman to do so, according to Vulture. [...] In short, Whoopi Goldberg has had a career filled with "firsts," and it’s no wonder, then, that she’s earned a $60 million net worth (per Celebrity Net Worth) for her groundbreaking career. Plus, she takes home an $8 million annual salary from "The View."

ABC says "The View" is an editorial show and that the network clearly adds a disclaimer that the views therein are those of the hosts. "That doesn’t give them the right to lie," says legal expert Alan Dershowitz, "and Musk is gonna clean up."
Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2024-06-02): President Joe Biden is proposing a tax increase of roughly 7% over the next decade, which is far lower than the 300% increase that former President Donald Trump claimed. About 83% of the proposed Biden tax increase would be borne by the top 1% of taxpayers, a level that starts at just under $1 million a year in income. Taxpayers earning up to $60,400 would see their yearly taxes decline on average, and taxpayers between $60,400 and $107,300 would see an annual increase of $20 on average.
Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2024-04-18): During the 2020 campaign, Trump falsely claimed that Biden’s tax plans would result in "doubling and tripling your taxes." As we wrote then, while Biden proposed to raise an additional $4 trillion in taxes over the next decade, the increases would have fallen mainly on very high-income earners and corporations. The plan would not have doubled or tripled people’s taxes at any income level (on average), according to analyses of Biden’s plan by the Penn Wharton Budget Model, the Tax Policy Center and the Tax Foundation. More recently, after winning New Hampshire’s GOP primary in January, Trump claimed Democrats "want to raise your taxes times four," but the Tax Policy Center said Biden’s 2024 budget would, on average, increase after-tax incomes for low-income households and "leave them effectively unchanged for middle-income households." The Tax Policy Center noted, "The top 1 percent, with at least roughly $1 million in income, would pay an average of $300,000 more than under current law, dropping their after-tax incomes by 14 percent." That’s a sizable amount, but the top 1% wouldn’t be the "typical" American family.
Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2023-03-27): To be sure, Mr. Biden's budget isn't set in stone — instead, it reflects a starting point for negotiations with lawmakers, who ultimately craft and pass spending bills and new tax laws. But the White House's push to raise taxes on the wealthy reflects a push to place a higher burden on the richest Americans in order to increase funding for education, housing and health care, among other priorities. "As Biden has made clear since his 2020 campaign, he wants to raise taxes substantially on high-income households and corporations and provide modest tax cuts to low- and moderate-income households," wrote Tax Policy Center senior fellow Howard Gleckman in a blog post. "And, like it or not, that's what his budget does." [...] The biggest lever hiking taxes on high-income households is tied to the Biden administration's proposal to boost the highest rate on capital gains taxes from 20% to 39.6%, the Tax Policy Center noted.

Evidence (2024-03-11): Quadruples the Stock Buybacks Tax. The Inflation Reduction Act’s surcharge on corporate stock buybacks reduces the tax advantage for buybacks over dividends and encourages businesses to invest in their growth and productivity as opposed to funneling tax-preferred profits to foreign shareholders. The President’s Budget proposes quadrupling the stock buybacks tax from one percent to four percent to address the continued tax advantage for buybacks and encourage corporations to invest in productivity and the broader economy. [...] President Biden has already secured additional funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that is enabling it to crack down on the high-income individuals and corporations who too often avoided paying their lawfully owed taxes and to improve service for the millions of Americans that do pay their taxes. Already, the IRS has collected more than $500 million in unpaid taxes from fewer than 2,000 delinquent millionaires, launched enforcement action against 25,000 millionaires who have not filed a tax return since 2017, and started cracking down on high-end tax evasion like deducting personal use of corporate jets as a business expense. President Biden’s tax plan would build on this progress with reforms that will finally make the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share. The President’s Budget:
Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2024-06-14): So, Biden’s policies would increase tax collections by about 7%, which is a whole lot less than "quadruple." (Quadrupling would mean a 300% increase.) [...] Biden does propose to quadruple one particular type of tax. He proposes raising the tax on stock buybacks for certain corporations from its current 1% to 4%. In a stock buyback, the company would pay shareholders the market value of their holdings to take possession of their shares. [...] Trump said Biden wants "to quadruple your taxes."

Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2024-05-10): President Joe Biden's top economic advisor on Friday laid out plans for the country's looming debate over trillions in expiring tax breaks enacted by former President Donald Trump. [...] The administration also wants to quadruple the tax on stock buybacks and add a 25% minimum income tax for billionaires, Brainard said.
Claim: Joe Biden wants “to quadruple your taxes.” (Donald Trump, 2024-06-02)
Evidence (2021-03-18): Biden said in a March interview with ABC News that this increase would raise $230 billion, which is about double the Tax Policy Center’s estimate for lifting the rate on those earning about $400,000 a year. Such a move would capture some people whose top rate is currently 35% and all of those in the 37% bracket, said Howard Gleckman, senior fellow at the center. [...] Those earning more than $1 million annually would have to pay higher taxes on capital gains, which typically make up the largest share of income for the wealthy, under Biden’s campaign proposal. [...] These business tax hikes make up the largest component of Biden’s campaign proposal, raising about $1.3 trillion in revenues over a decade.
