        Yeah.

        And there’s a very good chance that Elon spends his waning years in and out of every court, trying to stay out of jail.

        And that’s actually the optimistic version, from Elon’s perspective. There’s been plenty of rich assholes in history that didn’t have to worry about the courts.

          I mean really depends whether or not he manages to continue to succesfully own the US government. He made basically statements along the lines of if trump loses the election he could go to jail. I assume he’s betting on either the trump administration killing democracy… or being able to buy the next election too. Or perhaps just often enough that the supreme court never gets fixed.

      He hasn’t bought it yet, maybe everyone else will stay buying Intel stocks after this news and it’ll get too expensive for him.
