He's far to rich to ever face the consequences of anything.

If he continues the way he's going, that's not going to last all that much longer. One does not retain their financial security by crumbling every project you touch into dogshit. Tesla and Twitter are both on the fast slide into the gutter.

He is being propped up by Saudi investors, which are aligned with Russians on more fronts than one.

Don't think for a second that his wealth is connected to the success of his businesses, never was. It's always been connected to his investors. His investors own him. His investors are the Saudis.

Musk is America's new 9/11, just, in slow and prolonged motion. Same money, same people behind it.
