Tax-shopping is done by everyone, and the states are fully aware that tax shopping is a thing. Claiming this as a moral failing of Elon’s is bending the truth beyond breaking point.
Do you have sources for your other claims?

- manicdee 8y agoDid you look for a car or house that best suited your needs and budget?
- geofft 8y agoI'm not convinced that if a thing is legal and done by everyone in power, it is therefore not a moral failing. (The obvious counterexample is slavery, but there are less Godwinesque cases too.)
- manicdee 8y agoThe moral failing is picking this thing that is common in business and singling one person out for doing it. But there is no case to suggest that tax shopping is a moral failing. It is just the same as a person looking for a house or a car: you find what is in your budget and make decisions based on comfort and other non-fiscal concerns.
