The fucker has so many lawsuits. He's violated so many laws. We saw how long it took for Trump to have suits. I have to believe people are working on them for Musk.

Are there any criminal cases against EM or are they just civil?

If they are just civil, they will basically have no effect on him.

Elon is losing civil case all the time. He just doesn't care

"The bigger they are, the bigger the fall"

I just hope that phrase does eventually apply to Elon with how much his business pressence has expanded over the last few years.

The phrase I know is “The bigger they are, the ~~bigger~~ harder they fall”

But I doubt that will apply to EM, as much as I wish it would. There are plenty of people like him who never see any comeuppance. He has enough money to insulate himself forever.

He’s losing SEC related lawsuits about twice per year and at some point they’re going to take some serious action against him. It won’t be this year, it won’t be next year, but I expect that in ten years time he’ll be pretty screwed.

Sorry but that just sounds like hopium and just reinforces my belief that:

they will basically have no effect on him.
