Burn more than you consume means to use more energy (calories) than you eat.

You car gets 30 mpg.

You have 10 gallons of fuel in the tank.

You drive 90 miles, burning 3 gallons, so now you have 7 gallons in your tank.

You stop and put 2 gallons into the tank, so now you have 9 gallons in your tank.

Your car used more energy than it 'consumed', and is now 1 gallon lighter than when you started out.

The courts decided that if the IRS did not give you a way to report the income, then the IRS can not take you to court to try and get their cut, and that you would not be guilty of not paying taxes on the income.

The IRS is only allowed to turn over your tax info when ordered to do so by a court. As an example, look at how difficult it was for the Ways & Means committee to get Trump's tax info. It took 3yrs, and went all the way up to the Supreme Court before they finally got the info.

Are you familiar with the Willy Wonka character Veruca Salt? "I want it now, Daddy!"

He didn't want to wait for his prayers to work. He wanted a fig, and he wanted it now, and because he didn't get it right then and there, he destroyed the tree, so now it will never give him or anyone else a fig.

He got short term satisfaction, at the expense of everyone's long term satisfaction. Odds are there was a family who owned that tree, or harvested from it, either saving up for the long term, or selling them to have the money to live on, but did he think about them?

Matthew 21 (21-22) has been twisted so many time.

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Good thing we have 12 yrs to get ready, right?
If only there was a way to install more electric production, or reduce the amount the power plants need to pump out... something like millions of homes and businesses installing solar/wind power.
Oh wait, that is expected to happen, so never mind.

Because Forbes is only counting verifiable facts.

Musk won't say who got it, and no one is saying they got it. All we have is Musk saying that he gave it to charity.

If you look at the article it says:

"Our estimates factor in the total lifetime giving of American billionaires, measured in dollars given to charitable recipients—in other words, we are not including money parked in a foundation that has yet to do any good. To that end, we also do not include gifts that have been pledged but not yet paid out, or money given to donor-advised funds—opaque, tax-advantaged accounts that have neither disclosure nor distribution requirements—unless the giver shared details about the grants that were actually paid by such entities. This is a list of individuals and couples who are U.S. citizens; as a result, we excluded extended families like the Waltons, controlling shareholders of Walmart, and excluded big givers like Hansjoerg Wyss, who lives in the U.S. but is a Swiss citizen. Net worths are as of January 18, 2022."

Musk said he gave $5 billion to charity, but won't say who got it, and no one is saying they got money from Musk. So his donation is likely "given to donor-advised funds—opaque, tax-advantaged accounts that have neither disclosure nor distribution requirements". In other words, a tax write off.
