      They can mean cash flow problems. In Musk’s case, it may just be leverage. Just like Trump, he knows that he’s the bigger guy, when dealing with contractors. They can swallow the loss or fight it in court.

      If it’s planned, he should be prosecuted for theft, however, as always, it’s considered a civil matter and he’s protected by the corporate veil.

      Yeah yeah, promises, promises. They keep saying Trump is going to jail too, but that never happens either!

        If he ever goes to prison we should let him keep a connection to the internet so he can continue to embarrass himself for our amusement, sorta like Andrew Tate when he got people from the outside to compose increasingly unhinged tweets for him (shout out to when he claimed he was fighting ghosts in his cell, because he was being haunted???).

        It’s more amusing watching him lose billions of his theoretical dollars and publicly brand himself a business failure.

          Yeah, I’m totally amped to see him pop up in a “worst of tech” article a few years from now. “How do you destroy a wildly successful social network used by millions of people, including celebrities and politicians? Just add Musk!”
