        More like a: “let’s see if the peasants care and are willing to do anything about it and worst case, he’ll get a pardon” crime.

      Nah. Seize his assets, but make him stay here. Make that Nazi bastard experience life the American Way™ - living paycheck to paycheck at a minimum wage job (cause the moment his net worth guess to zero, his political influence does as well - another trademarked advantage of American living).

        He’d still be a celebrity, a couple of talk show invitations and he’d be better off than the bar majority of Americans. Not to speak of other opportunities he’d have.

          Zero assets? Yeah, I really doubt that. He’s not smart. And his popularity? You think any of these sociopaths in power actually like each other? Not a chance.

          The moment there’s no chance of material gain by sucking up to him, he’d be tossed aside.

          I really wish we’d stop hero worshipping the most worthless fools amongst us.

            So here in Italy a few days ago, a small mountain town got invaded by 10000 people because a random tiktok influencer posted that she was there skiing.

            Never underestimate people’s stupidity and attraction to celebrities.

        Pipe dreams. Billionaires have beat the system. They’ll never be on our level, even after “losing” everything.

        It sucks. But unless some external force is involved, they’ll never ever face repercussions for any of the bad they’ve ever done. This is the system they’ve built and designed for themselves.

        Oh, I love that idea. Actually, first give him some time, where he gets to work for less than minimum wage at a totally shit job.

        Then release him, with the criminal record. See how he does…

          I really don’t think it’ll work. Americans absolutely love their celebrities. Elon musk will never be poor, people will just give him money for existing.
