I have to admit I am not up on this. I’ve been so busy with my business, and other work, that I’m kinda behind. What tax dollars is Musk stealing? Can you link up some examples?

If I am understanding you correctly. You hate someone (that you don’t know) so deeply, that you couldn’t care less if 150,000 people lose their jobs? And that isn’t even counting the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of support jobs.

Personally, I don’t celebrate anyone losing their job. I might wish Ill upon people from time to time. But I’ve never hoped the fallout affects innocent people. Sometimes my anger gets the best of me and I wish Ill upon my competitors. So I get it. But when I factor in the human toll, my emotions become tempered.
