Random thoughts...here we go!
Why was I born with the innate ability to pick a line up that ends up being the slowest?
Why when getting ready for an important sports event, do I always break a lace on my sneakers?
Why do I always get a talker behind me at the movie?
Why am I always just one number out on each winning lotto number?
Why when ordering my ice cream cone, my fav flavour is out.
Got a feeling that I ain't alone in any of the above!

You don't just the tax Elon will pay on inventory alone will be huge. Even if one draws no money for salary the business still pays taxes on lots of things which isn't imaginary money that goes to IRS, ultimately, it's still money out of his pocket.
Elon Musk says he will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year (cnbc.com)
It's a silly argument anyway, we all use every loophole to save on taxes, so even if he didn't pay much in personal taxes, he pays a ton in other taxes you don't. Rich people and big business generate and pay taxes with all they do along the way, without them none of that money they do pay to the IRS would exist, it's still their money just on a different line on a tax form.
Sooner or later all money will be taxed, when, how, and under what line Item is irrelevant.

Like your folks mine came from humble roots and not only prospered but helped many along the way ! God bless them and he blessed use by giving use good parents !
Anyone who has owned and run a business of any size, has dealt with this every day.
Excise taxes, sales taxes, inventory taxes, corporate income taxes, county, state and local property taxes, business license fees (tax), fuel taxes- that's just a few.
Once those are all paid- oftentimes, there's not much left to go on an individual tax return...

From what I've seen- it takes a special kind of broken person, to come up with- and actually follow through with- the crazy ideas, that become a lot of our greatest innovations. "Normal" people don't think that way, on average.

Being this old isn't bad - it's feeling this old.

What gives you the ability to know that he is?
That's obvious. See any number of Corvette memes.
You don't. You definitely don't. In no way, shape, form, or computation do you. One day of the payroll taxes they pay through their respective companies is vastly more than what you pay in a year's worth of total taxes. Period...unless.. you employ thousands of people?

Obviously not in total, but if you consider taxes as a percentage of income, I absolutely do.

My observation is obviously based on anecdotal evidence from his actions and comments. I have no way to PROVE he is an asshole, but I'm sure he's got one.
