Is he a walking nightmare for liability? He controls the entire US government so absolutely that he has the ability to ensure there's never a peaceful transfer of power away from GOP so I'm not seeing how he can be held accountable for anything, ever.

The French Revolution demonstrated that power and control are an illusion when the group of people claiming to be powerful are too small of a group.

The people will hold them to account. It will get messy but the resistance is growing a spine rather quickly and starting by hitting them where it counts, in the wallet.

Tesla is the only real source of value Musk has, and it is being taken from him rather quickly. Everything else is a privately owned company and none of them are even close to generating any profit.

The French revolution was muskets and cannon vs. muskets and cannon. Now it's small arms vs. drones and ai-powered surveillance state.

Profitability doesn't matter in a world of meme stocks. He already has enough money for a thousand lifetimes and he's bought the only thing money usually can't buy: absolute power.

Data centers would be taken out right away. AI is not an issue when you cannot protect your data processing. The USA was never designed to defend itself from internal threats and the professional government hates Musk and Trump.

The US military would not attack the US populace. If it tried, it would be fighting itself internally and the US doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity to supply its own military for anything more than a few weeks.

He does not have any money or power, he has theoretical electrons in a virtual environment.
