You don't seem to understand.....President Elon believes his enterprises can do much better anywhere they can bribe themselves into supremacy!

But elegantly and most trenchantly observed, professor !

Here’s how foreign corrupt practices work: $x is paid to foreign agent; agent pays 1/2 x to foreign purchaser and kicks back 1/2 x to original payor

Result: initial payor gets 1/2 x tax free abroad, claims $x as business expense. Foreign corrupt buyer gets $1/2 x. less agents’ skim.

Really effective business conduct!
