I've had employers do this too. I don't think honest rich people like Warren Buffet or George Soros do this. But there are more then just trump and musk that make creditors sue for their payment. And they keep finding new patsies to fall for it and supply them or do the work for them. Service providers think they hit it big when a big Corp or rich guy calls them for service. It's usually because they are shopping around for someone they haven't stiffed yet. I wonder if TESLA moved to Texas because they were running out of suppliers they didn't already owe.
