Yeah. How much taxes paid? Hmmm....
Elon doesn't pay any.
I wonder how Jeff is doing?
Charities? Hmmmm...
You tell me, Hank, How much have Elon and Jeff given to charity? And to what charities?
Gimme a break. They could each afford to do incredible good worldwide. And without compromising one iota of their standard of living.
But do they?
No.
And are you really serious about them needing extreme (if by "extreme' you really mean "obscene") wealth as a motivator? Do you think that if we cut Musk's $400B fortune down to, say, $100B (Or his $1T Tesla pay package down to, oh, I don't know, say another $100B), he'd lose all his motivation and just lay about, drinking beer and playing video games?
