Hi Glenn- I read the below short piece years ago from Prof. Steven Landsburg (economist @ Rochester) and it really resonated with me. I have failed multiple times to explain/convince friends of the argument, but I know you have the economic chops to understand and/or refute it! If you agree with it, then Briana does a wonderful job of admitting that it is literally impossible to tax Elon Musk as it will not reduce his consumption at all.
