Let’s remember: Musk bought Tesla. He was already ridiculously wealthy in order to get himself into this position of basically robbing the U.S. government.

  This is true but he was nowhere near as wealthy as he is now, not even close.

    Of course. That was also my point, as I think it is yours. There is an event horizon after which an individual can corrupt government and really accelerate their wealth accumulation even faster.

      What you see as “corrupt government” others see as a “virtuous cycle”… The main problem with your thought process is that your conflating “wealth accumulation” with “wealth creation”!
