Oh please let Trump's first dictatorial move be to strip Elon of his wealth. We're all going to suffer some shit but let at least one oligarch stuffer too
It can start by denaturalizing him since he lied on his immigration forms and was in the country illegally when he first came here. That's not even dictatorial, it's the letter of the law.
"First they came for the Oligarchs and I did not speak out - because I was not an Oligarch, and really because wage inequality is the core problem facing our society so coming for the Oligarchs seemed like a pretty good idea to me."
And piss off all the all the billionaires? Not going to happen.
You do realize that all the billionaires don't have the same motives. A lot of billionaires would love to get rid of some of their peers.
Would be next to impossible to wound the king billionaire without negatively affecting the others.
Bezos might get a kick out of Elon and SpaceX getting their shirt kicked in a bit so Blue Origin or whatever can swoop in for those tasty government contracts
It's not to piss them off, but to send a message. Just like Putin, he's going to put the screws to somebody wealthy to send the message "I did it to them, I can do it to you."
