While I was watching this crazy dude drive his new lawn tractor back home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8b_M6pMv8s) he mentioned something interesting. He claims his accountant told him that because it was on Youtube, the purchase was tax deductible. I assume the claim is that Youtube videos are a business and business expenses are tax deductible.
Some research revealed this link which has some good information:

Side note about this guy driving his new machine home from the store:

EDIT: that is not the article I actually was looking for. Apparently driving lawn tractors on the road is a thing.
