Elon will kneel to the King. Let the Bribes Roll In.
June 5, 2025
No one in his or her right mind would challenge King Trump if in Elon's shoes. Tesla stock plummeted 14% today. The drop was 100% political. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and figurehead of a sprawling tech empire, picked the wrong fight. His opponent? The most powerful man in the world: King Trump.
What began as a sharp critique by Musk of the administration’s “fiscally reckless” and "abomination" budget bill quickly escalated into a political firestorm. Trump’s response was swift and ominous: threats to revoke government subsidies, including EV tax credits and federal procurement agreements. But that may be just the beginning.
If Elon Musk doesn't back down immediately, he and his empire may soon receive notice of civil and criminal investigations. The whole empire can collapse and Elon may end up in jailed or exiled.
The Empire Strikes Back
You can imagine the whispers in Washington. Speculation can easily mount on the many ways Trump's federal agencies can cripple the mentally unstable Musk. The Department of Justice may revive dormant antitrust concerns or any other civil and criminal investigations. The SEC could scrutinize Musk's tweets and public statements, questioning their impact on shareholder value and market manipulation. OSHA and the NLRB might look into labor complaints at Tesla’s factories. The IRS could start asking new questions. Trump can crush Musk in just a few weeks.
Elon cannot win this battle much less a prolonged war against King Trump. If Musk is mentally sane, he will immediately back down and kneel to the king. He will find ways of funneling a few billion to the King to appease him after having offended him publicly. If he's insane or under the effects of drugs, he will continue escalating a war that he cannot win.
King Trump is seeing Musk's crazy betrayal as a once in a lifetime opportunity. By crushing the richest man in the world, Trump would demonstrate that he is the most powerful gorilla in the zoo. He's not only larger than life, he's larger than money. He's the King.
A Costly Duel of Egos
Elon Musk may be brilliant and brave, but brilliant bravado means very little when fighting the federal government. The rules of the game are completely tilted in favor of the government. Elon doesn't stand a chance. If Trump orders federal agencies to investigate Musk, the system will bring him down. If Musk sobers up--and he will--he will back down tonight or tomorrow.
Unless Musk quickly changes course—publicly, visibly, and humbly—he may face a financial and reputational storm unlike anything seen before. Tesla can become a penny stock in just a few trading sessions after a full blown federal attack against Musk and his companies. Regulatory headwinds could stall all of Elon's companies in record time.
Word to the Wise
To those who cheer Musk as a maverick, understand this: federal agencies have the power to cripple even the richest man in the world if the King demands it. King Trump doesn’t forget slights, and rarely forgives those who challenge his authority in public.
If Elon doesn’t kneel, he risks becoming the next Icarus: flying too close to the sun of power, only to plunge into regulatory and financial ruin.
King Trump doesn't tolerate defiance. If Elon doesn't retract by tomorrow, he will regret it forever.
