Musk's wealth is entirely tied to his assets and the valuation of his companies.
It would be a shame if Trump were to nationalize SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter via executive order.
- Musk started those companies while overstaying his visa illegally. We should just seize all of his assets.
  
  Readers added context:
  Musk did not start Tesla or Twitter.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter
  
  Mask hasn't started shit. He buys his way into companies
- A lot of Trump's moves away from green energy and back to fossil fuels arguably hurt Musk. He specifically mentioned in his inauguration that he will ensure anyone can buy whatever kind of car they want: meaning he wants to continue to support ICE vehicles.
  
  Musk's company doesn't exist to sell cars, it exists to sell stock. The cars are part of the commercial. His entire fortune is built off of low interest rates and high speculation.
- Nationalizing Twitter would probably increase skunk's net worth.
He can just assassinate him. The Supreme Court made it legal for the President to assassinate citizens.
- PLEASE!
MAGA Republicans are truly a party of the people not the elites or the oligarchs.
- Sarcasm implied?
  
  Not to single you out, but I have noticed a lot of people having a hard time picking up sarcasm lately, and obvious satire/sarcasm getting downvoted to oblivion.
  Like I get that hackles are raised as fuck right now, but I don't quite get the connection...?
Ohh. An "insider".
- Are you under the impression that people are going to say things like this on the record?
  
  Not op, yeah do don't really expect someone notnto be anonymous, but we're also jaded to all these anonymous insiders making a big reveal confirming what we all already assume is happening in the admin and... just nothing happens. It's just another news story to go between the feel good story of orphans being saved from the orphan crushing machine and "is this highly corrosive industrial solvent coming out of your faucets? More at 11" in the news cycle.
- AKA anyone with a membership to Mar-a-Lago.
Like he won't just lie and make stuff up anyways.
We can't cut his funding? What?
- We can surely cut more than just funding ;)
