>> Imagine a prosecutor telling a jury that Elon funds a lavish lifestyle (with lots of details of the excess) with loans against his Tesla stock.

Not going anywhere. Even if Tesla goes to zero, Musk still is a billionaire, 10 times over with SpaceX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX#Ownership,_funding_and_...

It's not greed, he just hates that some don't bow to him.

Indeed, and to that end, the punishment could be that he is barred from serving as an executive or board member. I think that would be a far deeper punishment to him than if you took every penny of his.

It would sting, but I doubt he would find it that hard to start again in another country if he had to.

Is it schadenfreude to hate hubris?
