Can a NIMA 14-50 receptacle be wired up with #10 wire ?

Not properly.
What if you doubled up each wire ?

Not legal.
Would that meet code ?
No.
what if you found one wired up that way ?

Redo it with wire sized for the maximum amperage of the
receptacle which is 50 amps.
The one at Amazon is rated for 50 amps. Amazon says the outlet can
use 4,6, and 8 copper wire.


Any help appreciated.
Thanks
