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?

This feels like quite the shift in conversation.

Can you explain where you're going with this?

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

Ah, makes sense.

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

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