Yea he’ll join all the other billionaires in jail. I would say he looks pretty guilty of fraud but agree he will never see a cell, just heavy fines. And spaceX may survive without him but losing musk would suck a ton of wind out of their sails.

My understanding is that his imprisonment was questionable though, no?

> charges his defense team claimed were U.S. government retaliation for his refusal to give customer data to the National Security Agency in February, 2001

Maybe if Elon had sold stock this would be in the realm of possibility.

Martha Stewart was a billionaire when she went to jail for insider trading.

Did she go to jail for insider trading? Or for lying to the FBI?
