Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

    Selling stocks is also income

    No, that is liquidating capital. It attracts capital gains tax, not income tax.

    Also that would imply he’s sold 99% of his stocks, which is also false.

      The only way it would imply that he sold 99% of his stocks is if I had said he donated all of his wealth, which is not at all what I said. I said he donated income and he did, multiple hundreds of billions of his income.
