He’s still rich and will be insulated from any consequences of his actions.
One thing about Musk I’ve noticed is that he is a risk taker. I don’t want to sound like I’m praising him, but it’s just an objective fact. Whenever he makes a decision to do something he throws everything at it. Those decisions are really stupid most of the time, and if a person of average wealth ever tried to do them they would just fail outright, but Musk is able to get away with it through some luck but also just the capitalist system working in his favor. When he jumped on board the Trump train, I had a feeling Trump was going to win because of how Musk risks everything to get what he wants.
I think alot of liberals and maybe some leftists are hoping that he’ll get “caught on a technicality” but hes probably never going to lose his wealth or diminish in influence unless acted on externally. The rules and laws of capitalist society are the ones that prop him up. That’s what I think of when I see these headlines that make it seem like the walls are closing in on him because Tesla sales are down, or he did a nazi salute, or called someone a pedo etc.
Alternatively he could Steve Jobs himself, but that is relying on pure chance.
It would take another billionaire to snap his neck in one of the traps he keeps sticking it out in and they have too much class solidarity for that. Or one of the other Mario Brothers to hit him with a fireball.

I’d argue he’s more on the Matthew Perry track than the Steve Jobs one. Either way, it leads to the same place (but far too slowly)
