People get around a consumption tax by obtaining items from around the system. And I doubt people like Gates or Musk need to buy much.A consumption tax does that. The more well to do people buy more things, so they pay more tax.
People find ways around taxes and politicians get votes by making loopholes. You can't do that with a consumption tax. Plus it gets all that unrecorded money like dope dealers, prostitutes, people who work under the table, it doesn't matter. Everybody has to pay when they buy things no matter how they make their money.
