          Basically, the US is being held hostage on numerous fronts by Musk. The man influences s so much of American life in including infrastructure as well as critical technology in aerospace, that pissing him off risks massive geopolitical losses for America.

            Nationalize his business and sanction all his assets for aiding and abetting the enemy and working as a foreign agent against the US and our allies. Lock him up or deport his ass to Russia.

            An egregious federal crime that could relieve him of those powers might be useful in this case.

                They’re buying up bunkers and mega yachts invade they need to escape the hoards.

                I wonder what the plan is when all their domestic staff revolt though? Working for rich dudes means you know where most/all of their important shit is.
