But at least in the USA, the left treats the rich pretty uniformly (no distinction is made between rich born-here citizen, rich citizen immigrant, or rich foreigner). Many don't even know Elon Musk was born in South Africa, nor do they really care.

Tax evasion is seen as a moral problem no matter how you accomplish (so hiding it with your other citizenship is just as bad as using a shell company).

Tax evasion is a legal term, not a moral one. Tax evasion isn't a problem in USA given that it has the highest compliance rate in the world. Jurisdictional arbitrage is a freedom and should be protected as such.
