Trump is a billionaire and was convicted on 34 counts.
Epstein had 600 million and was convicted.
musk loses legal battles regularly, maybe he'll lose this one too if the matter is brought up.

being rich helps, but it does not automatically or completely protect you from being convicted or going to prison.
there are lots of multi-millionaires and billionaires who went to prison.

Yep. These people are fine with Gestapo tactics, if those tactics are in service of their side. Imagine Trump rounding people up based on their tweets.
I appreciate someone having critical reading and critical thinking skills. Thank you for a ray of hope.
