That tweet is the equivalent of crossing the Rubicon. There's no going back for him.

  Musk has crossed that river's tributaries so many times since 2019, including with what looks suspiciously like bribing the electorate to get Trump into office, that historians will be arguing for centuries about which exact error was ultimately Musk's undoing.

Elon may have forgotten while writing this tweet, probably under drugs influence, that he was not born in the US, was there illegaly for some period of time, and that his companies are 99% depenedent on the US government. Which is run by an 80 years old narcissist and wannabe dictator.

  It would be hilarious if Trump deported Musk. But alas, he's rich and white so it's extremely unlikely.

    i don't think skin color protects any of us from this administration. (the money? maybe)

      Given Trump didn't care about protestors chanting to hang his own vice president, skin colour definitely won't save Musk: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/25/trump-expressed-support-hanging-pence-capitol-riot-jan-6-00035117 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/25/trump-expressed-sup... Like you, I'm not so sure the money won't. But at the same time, I think about half Musk's money is an absurd overpricing of Tesla shares, and most of the rest is SpaceX, only minimal resaleable stuff in xAI and x.com, even less in TBC and Neuralink — if there was suddenly no FAA approval for flights, no help selling Starlink to everyone (worldwide), SpaceX just dies.

  Musk surely has a backup plan. There is always China, and russia.
