Because the rich tech bros need more subsidies.

I get concerned when I see that.

The IRS brags about how effective it's collection system is, and their Dunn notice system is very effective and collects a lot of money. After that it's farmed out to in house collection agents. So at one point politicians were talking about privatizing the Dunn letter system. Great, you give give a company the address, amount, etc., they send out the Dun notice and get a percentage, and then give whatever is not collected back to the IRS. That's like handing a business free money, when you already have a system that does it cheaply without the fee. But it's hard to convince people that the government does some things effectively. I t wasn't privatized.

Then they had a pilot program for privatizing collection efforts after the Dunn letters. The upshot was people's (taxpayer;s) right were violated frequently and sometimes very badly - even after the IRS trained the private company's employees in taxpayer rights. The collections weren't as good and taxpayer's rights were violated.

There's a lot of people trying to make money off the government, and Musk is successful at it.
