Isn't that musk too.

I think his whole career has been built on his connections, most via his father, to the upper echelons of the US government, but he's not alone in that by any stretch of the imagination, i.e. one of his business partners was John Kerry's stepson. He's a lobbyist, so people pay him for his ability to work those connections.
Did he really make tens of millions of dollars - he served on the board of Burisma Holdings for 5 years, on a retainer of up to $50k a month - so a total of $3 million for the term. That's a lot of money, but it's not tens of millions. Did he have another source of income in Ukraine?
Added: There have been a lot of allegations, predominantly from Trump and his allies, but to my understanding, these are without foundation.

It wouldn’t have come to it if Trump weren’t out for Biden blood.
The DoJ probably wouldn’t have bothered with him. If they did, they would’ve investigated him, and his lawyers would’ve come to a plea deal (which in this case they did) and the presiding judge would’ve accepted it (which in this case she didn’t). Whether or not her clear sympathies for trump influenced her judgement has yet to be established in a court of law, but it’s not unreasonable to suspect.
It’s all bonkers. The side being held to a high standard is treated as equal to the side flaunting that they hold no standards at all. Pardoning his persecuted son is nepotism, yes, but there’s zero chance the man would’ve had fair and open proceedings. It’s not in the same league as pardoning people for cash or because they broke the law to help you break other laws, which is mr. trjmp’s case.
