Responding to a subpoena isn’t optional.
It’s obligatory.
If you don’t respond and are held in contempt you get prosecuted and you go to jail.

Elon Musk's absurd opposition to the billionaires tax shows exactly why we need it. Billionaires like him have benefited from policy choices that helped them build huge fortunes. One is the privileging of wealth, which this new tax would target. My latest:https://t.co/yZyQrLe7gE
