@wekeys @stux Patagonia is a little different. They've been using their corporation to generate revenue for environmental causes for decades.
It's more accurate to say Patagonia is an environmental non-profit exploiting the tax code by paying taxes than a for-profit dodging taxes by using a non-profit.

Holdfast Collective is a 501(c)(4) who will/can do political lobbying,
It's great if they push good thing, but inside this Holdfast Collective there is familly of Patagonia, a nice way to bypass taxes.
If we have to make a scale between Elon Musk and Patagonia Owner, it's clear that Elon is worse, but they both bypass taxes in a cynical way.
