Unfortunately he’ll still have hundreds of billions of dollars, even without Tesla, so his influence will never go away. He could lose 99% of his wealth and still be a billionaire.
Madoff made the mistake of stealing from people more powerful than him. Billionaires always steal from poor people, and thus incur no wrath from people who could punish them.
That’s because billionaire means nothing. e.g. Jordan Belfort was almost a billionaire, but still went to jail like small fry.The untouchable ones are oligarchs, that is what people are implying and it is much scarier to have a 6-year-old messing around as one.
I would also like to see Tesla either unionized or dead.
Prefer to see it dead and Elon’s method of influence gone.

What do billionaires do with their billions in prison?
Name one billionaire who has gone to prison.
Not a billionaire, but Bernie Madoff got real close.

Yep. Madoff committed the worst crime in America: messing with rich people’s money.
Elizabeth Holmes, and her story is very similar: overpromise, underdeliver, boast, defraud, intimidate.

Nice!
Sooo, two? IIRC she didn’t have enough time to build connections and she didn’t know how to walk in billionaire shoes.
I can guarantee these pricks are untouchable.

Use it to avoid going to prison.
Then the less respect he has from the general public, the better.
