Like most of the super rich, Elon is a democrat. He previously supported carbon taxes & subsidies for green tech, when that was a thing. Then, he jumped on board universal basic income when what's her name Cortez promoted it. His latest campaign is for direct payments instead of economic stimulus packages. Both parties have been promoting another round of economic stimulus packages, but sometimes it's about the home team more than the pitch.

Of course, the super rich don't pay income tax. They pay capital gains tax. They're exempt from social security, medicare, & SDI taxes because they're only paid in stock. Their businesses pay no income tax because they only report profits overseas & they only report losses for domestic markets.

The mane benefit from universal basic income is in allowing business owners to pay their employees less & offset the reduction with government income. Universal basic income is another way regular taxpayers will be forced to support large corporations.

Hard to find any example of a wealthy businessman or politician promoting an agenda which actually benefits the audience they're promoting the agenda to instead of just themselves. It's like a bug eat bug world or something. Us underachievers are all alone, losing on the internets as we lost in economics.
