On the one hand, he said he'd go to jail if the dems won. On the other, he says a lot of things that aren't true.
At this point, Musk might face extradition claims outside the US and state-level charges within it, even if Trump pardons him for all US federal laws. And he might have lost a lot of leverage with the US federal government by having SpaceX stop taking customers for more Falcon launches before Starship's fully ready.
