lol, not the rich. If only there were some legal mechanism to freeze his accounts...
Good thinking. We freeze the accounts of other Russian oligarchs. Why not this one?
Basically, the US is being held hostage on numerous fronts by Musk. The man influences s so much of American life in including infrastructure as well as critical technology in aerospace, that pissing him off risks massive geopolitical losses for America.
Not stamping him down would pose the bigger risk long term then.
No rich person has thought of the long term in a while.
They’re buying up bunkers and mega yachts invade they need to escape the hoards.
I wonder what the plan is when all their domestic staff revolt though? Working for rich dudes means you know where most/all of their important shit is.
