Take down tesla why exactly? How exactly does that help?
Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.
Lets assume you managed to somehow bankrupt tesla. You effectively managed to stop one billionaire from using one of his many companies as a fast ATM. This does not solve the problem (billionaires affecting your governing system) in my perspective but merely mitigates a temporary symptom.

His other companies aren’t valued as highly.

The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn’t public so we don’t actually know if it makes money or it’s as shitty as all his other companies.

Without Tesla he’ll have real trouble getting loans… or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he’s not self-made and relies on free money from the government.

You really missed my point by a long shot didn’t you?

Maybe you missed mine.

Musk is the First Buddy and the “richest” man on Earth. Trump basically has him running the government with his doggy department.

If Tesla goes down, he might go down with it. Trump would drop him in an instant - “sorry honey, you’re no longer HOT!” That doesn’t abolish all billionaires, obviously, but it solves an acutely troublesome one.

Godspeed to you my friend!
You’re awfully combative for someone “just asking a question”.

You’re right I might have carried some of the charge from the other user towards this one unfairly. Sometimes I should just allow people to live in their happy delusional solutions.

Frankly sooner or later they had this coming so here’s one more piece for them to downvote if it makes them feel better.
