I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.

at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you're a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff

That's why we need to elect someone who will get the ball rolling on jailing Musk.

uh, dude, there's no time for that. the next elections are YEARS away, for the process to START?

Whether you think elections matter or not, whether you think we're still getting real ones or not, we're so far past that point. they're fucking disappearing people, dude.

Yes, the new version of "nobility" that doesn't want to pay taxes. They make a company and then get government handouts.

well, sort of. see, the way money works at that scale, everything is about leveraging stuff.

and a lot of his stuff is leveraged off tesla stock. so it won't kill him, but it will at least make an example of him, and be a substantial hit to his assets. like, change the way he lives hit to his income.

edit: assuming the banks don't just slobber all over his dick giving him a pass and free money. which they may.

Eutelsat is providing a Nazi-free alternative to Starlink, and NASA is being shut down and I doubt the ESA or CNSA will want to cooperate with SpaceX.
