So in your mind the possibility of Musk being extradited could lead to those colossal outcomes?

The starlink thing died yesterday but, I can't imagine a reaction this strong from the US financial sector or MAGA.

I disagree with the intensity of this response, if it were to happen.

In my mind he just doesn't get extradited, because it's too much trouble and sets a bad standard for American billionaires.

So Musk decided not to leverage this influence and instead acquiesced to a foreign government for funsies.

Sounds like him.

He acquiesced once he could no longer absorb the personal economic cost of defiance.

But the threat of extradition would raise the stakes considerably.
