Musk has paid no tax previously despite billions in income. He says he's against government assistance yet takes billions in Federal subsidies. Total hypocrite.

"I'm not sure getting a recipe into a cookbook is a great example of personal gain"
I agree.
But getting a gig at Harvard paying 400k a year, would qualify as a good example of personal gain.
"She took a DNA test that even confirmed she does have some Native American blood"
Yes, and if I remember correctly, her Native American DNA was between 1/64th and 1/512th of her total DNA.

Did he break the law? If he didn't break the law, and you're unhappy with his taxes, then your issue is with the tax law. Right now, your side controls the entire federal government, so if you're unhappy with tax law, guess who that means you have a beef with?
As of 2020, Tesla had 71,000 employees in the US. That's 71,000 jobs created, 71,000 families whose livelihood Musk is responsible for. That, plus $11 billion in taxes this year. Are we entitled to more than $11 billion from him?
"yet takes billions in Federal subsidies. Total hypocrite"
Again, take it up with your congressional delegation if you think federal policy is so stupid. Do you pay more than the law says you must? If the federal government offers subsidies to makers of electric cars, Musk should turn that money down, and give an advantage to his competitors?
