        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.

        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.
