Besides the irrational ramblings of a syphilis riddled brain, it should be pointed out that the US pays about $933 million per year to NATO, not hundreds of Billions. The total defense budget is $980 billion. Facts matter.

Trump says NATO was "nice enough to give us Greenland. We got Greenland."

Elon Musk's fortune is from loans that are backed by his stock in tesla, SpaceX, others. Without them, Musk is still rich AF, just not as rich as AF. More importantly, since he is the CEO of those companies, they are funding campaigns. No loophole detected. They are corrupt and breaking the law.
