In the realm of public affairs, there’s a recognizable dichotomy between those who generate value and those who consume it. Elon Musk, the visionary pioneer, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the government advocate, illustrate this point vividly. Musk operates at the heart of our prosperity engine, whilst Sen. Warren calls for ever-more expansive policies.

Sen. Warren is particularly vocal about income disparities, frequently exclaiming, 'Tax the affluent!' Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, is a candidate of choice. In 2018, it's reported that he contributed zero in federal income tax. When set against this backdrop, however, it’s essential to understand the full picture.

Whilst Sen. Warren was championing her zero-tax narrative, Musk was in the act of breaking historical records - delivering a staggering $12 billion in taxes to the US government. That’s an amount unparalleled in history, and conveniently omitted by Sen. Warren.

Arguably, if Musk were to direct these $12 billion towards his entrepreneurial efforts instead of lining the coffers of distant bureaucracies, perhaps the world could have reaped greater benefits. In his role as a creator, Musk accomplishes feats many times beyond the scope of federal agencies.

NASA, for instance, has conceded the task of building spaceships to private initiatives. The agency's bureaucrats seem to have accepted their limitations. In the meantime, the baton was passed to Musk, who demonstrated his abilities by launching astronauts into orbit after a nine-year gap in NASA’s capabilities.
