Oh, the legal system won't do shit because it's broken as fuck... but I'm hoping Harris wins and the constant stream of Tesla subsidies gets cut off.
That fucker should be destitute.

It won't. The US has made SpaceX its primary service provider for launch services. We've also made it a point to try and insource our production of electric vehicles, and Tesla remains the primary manufacturer for these kinds of cars.
We can't stop. We won't stop. We'll just keep shoving Elon money with one hand while wagging a finger at him with the other.
The guy you are responding to said Tesla, you changed the subject to another company elon owns. Tesla losing value would be extremely harmful to elon. The guy you responded to knew what he was talking about. You are just adding noise showing that you know of other companies elon owns.

I addressed them both. But SpaceX has been in the news more recently, after winning a number of high profile government bids.
Tesla losing value would be extremely harmful to elon.
Tesla's valuation has already been linked to a number of stock manipulation schemes, several of which the SEC has outright called him on (despite failing to follow up with any meaningful sanctions). It won't lose value so long as he can continue to artificially prop up the price through manipulation.
The guy you responded to knew what he was talking about.
What sanctions is Elon currently facing? Show your work.
SpaceX would keep running when Ford Jr steps down or is removed
rich people only get in trouble when they fuck over other rich people. see also, martha stewart
No. Those laws, rules and regulations only apply to us peasants.
Oh man, I would love it if he spent hundreds of millions on the Trump campaign, only for him to majorly lose.
Would love it to matter. Hard to say if it does.
Quickly somebody write a headline asking if he'll survive October!
If Trump wins, there is 0 chance that there are any consequences. If Harris wins, there could be legal consequences for Elon eventually.
But if the vote buying is allowed to continue, it doesn't matter whether Elon goes to jail or not, the operation will still have had the chance to influence an election. They should be taking action to shut this down as quickly as possible. But I'm not holding my breath.
Americans love to watch the "Will billionaire flagrantly violating the law face any kind of consequence?" because the answers live somewhere in between "LOLZ, Nah" and "Very light tap on the wrist" and its so fun to find out which one we get.
Ugh.
Other than giving him an excuse when he inevitably skips out on the cheque? No.
