    His money is literally the only thing he has and the only reason anyone interacts with him. The Tesla billionaire drowning incident will have consequences for him eventually. He will eventually lose his money and then his suicidal flaming downward spiral will really begin.

          People die drowning in cars all the time, it isn’t unique to teslas. Some girls from my high school did. Mythbusters did a video on how hard it is to break out from a car underwater unless you have a special tool. It won’t be held against him.

          But he didn’t do anything directly lol. It’s not like Bernie Madoff who was directly calling rich people and proposing his scams to them. Elon’s crap is just the typical capitalist indifference to safety and quality. It’s not any different if her Samsung refrigerator fell on her

            I’m not saying that the law will punish Elon through established channels

            I’m saying Tesla will be looking at a huge civil lawsuit at some point that could be a serious issue specifically because this time their dumbass car killed one of the Important People in America

      He was putting his finger directly in the middle of the Ukraine war with the starlink for Ukraine BS. Eventualy he went back but you can absolutely be sure nothing bad will happen to him anytime soon given everyone is in a mutualy benefitial relationship with him and he got a lot of leverage.

      You’re seeing this with Boeing even. Even if one of their planes crash with a couple of billionaires inside do you think they’ll care about that or the fact Boeing is like 1/3 of the entire US MIC or something?
