In the sense that Taylor Swift and Elon Musk probably pay more taxes that can be used to offset the CO2 they produce by flying and being efficient for their work.

I don’t think anyone here can produce that information, tax records are private, right? We’d also need to know what percentage of our taxes go to cleaning up carbon emissions, which I think is… pretty low?

Fossil fuel is not subsidized with tax money. It’s subsidized with tax discounts. That’s happening regardless of tax income because the federal government doesn’t run a balanced budget.
