    It probably helps that those two have income from France. Elon bc Twitter operates in France and I’m pretty sure Teslas are sold there, Rowling bc Harry Potter shit is sold in France

      Isn’t that income through a business they are employed at? Like Musk is CEO of Tesla but Tesla pays him in the US.

      Idk about EU/French law but I think in the US you wouldn’t be able to get to it, same way these people are avoiding personal income tax.

      I could be totally wrong.

        I also have no idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rowling has a closer connection and is more vulnerable, since they’re books and she’s the author and presumably the copyright holder?
