He already did.....to himself in a shell game bullshit the day after gutting the SEC so he could get away with it and take the leverage off his Tesla shares he used to buy it in the first place.

No one has stated the importance of this. He knows whats going to happen with Tesla, its only a matter of time.

u/ThinTheFuckingHerd 1d ago

They should've expected terrorism? Also, Nazis were leftists who wanted big government. So, like the OPPOSITE of what Trump's admin is doing.

The Nazis didn't want big government, they wanted the exact opposite. They wanted a centralised system of control, and reduced the powers of everyone below the executive and created overlapping decision making structures precisely to limit democratic power and place it in the hands of a single authority.

It's almost exactly what Trumps admin is doing. They're funnelling power into a single executive, rather than having it spread across many, the same as the Nazis chose to do.

The problem with this is: Anyone who invests in Musk, now and in the future, will continuously be paying for this.

The fact that he got away with it, means he WILL do it again when it becomes relevant. So he's going to let the debt on his new shell company nearly expire, pass that debt to yet another company who's shares will tank because of it, causing yet further people to suffer losses due to Musk's debt - And rinse and repeat until everyone's simply paid Musk enough money to pay off the debt.

Except, why would he ever? He can just keep stealing his debt payment from you.

How much money is tied up in Social Security right now?

u/Consistent-Task-8802 1d ago

This feels like quite the shift in conversation.

Can you explain where you're going with this?

u/WebMaka 1d ago

Where better for Elon to get money for his own debts than to siphon it out of Social Security?

u/Consistent-Task-8802 1d ago

Ah, makes sense.

That said: Bold of you to assume he'll pay his debt and not just pocket that money.

2

u/WebMaka 1d ago

Oh I never said he'd pay the debts...

Who pays for the damages caused by Tesla terrorists?

2

u/ThinTheFuckingHerd 10h ago

Tesla terrorists? Are those better or worse than the terrorists who tried to steal our country because they lost an election? One has to wonder ...
