He's pretty deranged already. All he has to do to be a super villain is hold the IIS resupply missions hostage for $44 Billion.

- kelseyfrog 4y agoI'm not seeing that play out in a way that works in his benefit. Resupply missions like CRS-2 involve contractual agreements. In this case it is a legal agreement between Space Exploration Inc and NASA[1]. If SpaceX was found to be in breech of the contract, I'm confident for a reason such as(or perceived to be) "Musk wants to extort the US Government to make up a $44B shortfall on a loan for Twitter," that a judge would compel him under threat of contempt of court[2] for failure to comply with a lawful court order. Maybe that's where we differ, but I don't think he's so deranged that he would go to jail for six months over it. Besides, the next person in charge, seeing Musk imprisoned and without the same incentives, would easily comply, leaving Musk with a punishment for literally no monetary gain. 1.
