      Depends on how brazen Trump gets. If he executive orders Elon and the Executive Orders all of his money goes to him directly, yeah… Trump can fire Musk.

      Remember fascism is a concentric cone. If Trump decides he doesn’t want Musk, only his money, he will.

        Right. This is a lesson the Russian Oligarchs keep learning the hard way. Anytime Putin wants their money, they fall out a window and their assets are forfeited to the state (Putin).
