Which is fine, but really isn't the huge issue you are making it out to be.  Certainly nothing to do with Russia or any kind of threat to democracy.  If California decided to do the same, Trump would benefit to the tune of at least 10 EC votes. 

All in on majority rules, Canadian. Don't the people there believe in this as well I believe.

Not really. We have a parliamentary system that is similar to the EC. In our last election, for example, the Conservative party won the popular vote. But, the Liberal party won more seats in parliament, so they got the opportunity to form the government.  It encourages parties to be mindful of all regions of the country rather than concentrate support in small areas.  I wasn't happy with the result, but I recognize the winner and believe in the system.

Nope. Your assertion, your burden of proof. AFAIK, he paid about $11 billion in federal tax in 2022.

Now you are shifting the goalposts. At first, you said that Musk didn't pay his fair share. Then, you refused to define what his 'fair share' would be. Now, you are discussing Tesla a publicly traded company in which Musk is a minority shareholder.  Stop being so slippery. 

too bad 

My takes are included in the detail Reading ok for you still?

Elon Musk owns almost 13% of Tesla shares, which is worth $73 billion. He also has stakes in SpaceX and other businesses, giving him a total net worth of $203 billion.

Elon Musk’s sprawling empire — spanning everything from electric vehicles and social media to space rockets and miniature brain implants — may soon make him the world’s first trillionaire.

How many here agree with the Ham? Musk pays his fair share?

 

Keep shifting. You are now talking about wealth, not income. AFAIK, there is no wealth tax.
