This poses a bit if an interesting quandary for society. Which society paid for Musk to be educated? He grew up in South Africa. How much tax does he pay there relative to where he built his stuff? Where should he pay his taxes? What about other people who grow up elsewhere and move? Is it ok to hire a load of doctors from other countries?

There is the glimmer of a movement here - the Yelland led move to 15% minimum corporation tax is part of the move to solve this very problem. The EU is trying to solve this. But it's reaching the point of dealing with cross border fiscal policy and that's really hard without become a real federation. And Inthink that is the ultimate global goal here. Which is ... science fiction Imagine how immigration would look different if South Africa had a lien on ex-citizens taxation - if a slice of every sales tax paid in Nevada by a Mexican citizen went back to Mexico City. I am not sure how it plays out - but it's possible that countries that benefit from immigration have to pay for it.
