If a machine invented by a machine invented by a machine invented by a machine invents a machine, who should be entitled to the patent?

If the law is changed so that a machine is entitled to a patent, will the machine be able to open a bank account in order to bank the royalties received from that patent.

Upon what would the machine spend the money?

If the machine fails to pay tax on the income it receives, should it get prosecuted? If it were convicted, what would be the punishment? If it were to be fined, but had already spent all its money so it couldn't pay the fine, would it be committed to prison? Or would it be sufficient to decommission it?

If a machine that has assets gets decommissioned, who would inherit its assets?
