    Nope. Nope nope nopenopenope.

    Yes, Elon needs to be not in America anymore. Or, at least, behind bars for election interference and tax evasion. But he is a naturalized citizen; you can’t deport citizens, and if he does this to Elon he can do it for everyone.

    Not to mention, it’s just the wrong thing to do. You don’t deport people who are here legally. I’d be fine with Trump putting Elon in jail for an actual crime he’s committed (which he can’t do, because he’s committed all of the same crimes) or taxing Elon into the poorhouse (which he can’t do, because he would be hurt by the same tax burden) or seizing the corporations Elon used to break the law (which he can’t do, because he would lose Truth Social). But he can’t deport Elon Musk–terrible human being, serial criminal, American citizen.

      The Supreme Court already gave him permission to remove naturalized citizenship. He’s going to use it, but it’ll be on a lot of defenseless poor people, not Elon.
