The government could do a lot of things. You could use that argument for like anything.
...that was not an argument in favour. It was simply to point out its achievable.

When you asked "why would X happen when Y doesn't happen", it's perfectly reasonable to respond "both X and Y could happen".

No, because they go by their own country's taxes, which could be more or less depending on the tax laws. The US unrealized gains tax would just be to the US since that tax is very rare.
Those rates could be lower or higher than the US's. If they're lower, then foreign investors are advantaged, no?

And?

They could be, you'd have to go country by country. Why would a home country implement a policy that puts their own citizens at a disadvantage?

...and that directly addresses what you said. You said "why would X happen". I told you.

You have a really strange tendency to object when someone answers a question you yourself asked, ya know.

It's not necessary to disadvantage them at all.

Though I still don't give much of a shit about disadvantaging a subset of centimillionaires.

He's such a genius that he doesn't even consider buying D&D from Hasbro. He'd just like to buy Hasbro. All to satiate his ego.
Hasbro has been a terrible owner for WOTC and have forced multiple games to make stupid changes for a few extra dollar bucks

That said. Musk should be banned from ever touching it. Also, DnD has always been woke.

Why would something that's always been done X way just randomly change? You simply said because it could. Yes, it could but it won't. Again, you can give that answer for anything. Why would someone that's has addiction problems to whatever just stop having said problems? And you would say because they could like that's an answer.

Again, why would a country implement ANY policy that is detrimental to its citizens?

We're not discussing what will happen. We're discussing our preferred approaches.

If the detriment is so small, and the benefit is so large, it could be worthwhile.

But that's besides the point. No disadvantage is necessary.

No, we weren't discussing preferred approaches.
Why would foreign investors have to pay unrealized capital gains tax when they already don't have to pay realized capital gains tax?
The government could implement a system similar to dividend taxes (with a DTA and tax-credit system) to levy either capital gains or unrealised gains tax. Whether they would is another question altogether.

The benefit isn't very high.
