I hope you enjoy your stay in ADX Florence administrative segregation, because La Presidenta will make it so.
He could (very likely) liquidate all of his holdings in SpaceX and walk away.
This is not investment advice.
If the money losing divisions in SpaceX get in trouble, he could do this before the information becomes public knowledge. Then with 1E12 dollars on hand he could start new businesses while SpaceX takes a hit due to the money losing divisions.
He could also get out, wait, and then buy back into SpaceX if it is still worth something after its haircut.
Purchase the government of the United States
once Spacex employees sell thier RSU's 6 months from now.
This is not stock advice.
My guess is that Mr. Musk will get to sell some of his holdings before the employees get to do so, due to planned sales and other manipulations.
With everybody offloading their shares, I expect that the share price will dip at that time.
The other issues over the longer term are:
1. The money-losing divisions in SpaceX
2. The lack of investors able to vote their shares.
3. Risk to index funds such as QQQ if SpaceX fumbles.
Oh, and one more thing: If Facebook had to default things like this off, then maybe they would have to switch to a membership dues model, because after all you are the product.
From wikipedia:
Universal default is a now-banned practice in the United States financial services industry whereby a creditor would change the terms of a loan from the normal terms to the default terms (i.e. the terms and rates given to those who have missed payments on a loan) when that lender is informed that their customer has defaulted with another unrelated lender, even though the customer has not defaulted with the first lender.[1]

So what you do elsewhere affects what Facebook is going to do to you... Think about that for a moment.
Facebook is acting like you're chained to a Flouroscope table getting a full body search against your will. (Apologies to the "Stainless Steel Rat")
Never been a Facebook user, and never will.
Demand charges are charges the utility imposes on commercial and industrial customers when they attach large loads to the grid and they draw large startup currents.
Rework the demand charges to penalize dumping loads instantaneously and the problem should be solved.
I see no reason that data centers couldn't manage their electrical loads more gracefully.
Harder to jam.
Smaller antennas.
Easier to Conceal.
You know you're in trouble when you feel the saliva boiling on your tongue.
"In 1966, NASA aerospace engineer and spacesuit technician Jim LeBlanc experienced the terrifying reality of vacuum exposure during a spacesuit test in a vacuum chamber at Johnson Space Center. When a pressurization hose accidentally disconnected, his suit depressurized to a near-vacuum. Before passing out from hypoxia in about 14 seconds, his last conscious memory was feeling the saliva on his tongue begin to boil."
There is more truth in the AI responses right now then there is in the polluted web search results you see from search engines today.
Haven't you noticed that when you ask a search engine for a product review or how to solve a problem how much incorrect or biased information is in the initial search results?
SEO doesn't work on AI. You have to poison its training data, and reference data.
AI poisoning was bound to happen. There's just to much money at stake which incentivizes people looking to make a buck the easy way by borderline deception, and preying on peoples laziness and lack of attention span to really get to the correct information.
There is no employment-at-will in India. If companies prefer to follow the law in India (Which a lot of them don't) You have to have a specific reason to fire them (Just Cause).
For financial emergency situations such as this, there will be a sense of urgency projected by the caller. Tell the calling party that you have to call them back to continue the discussion. There reaction should be frantic. That will give them away.
Unless they can intercept and reroute your outgoing calls via virus of some sort, or by penetration of your telecom carrier, this should be safe.
Never initiate any financial transaction until you have verified for yourself the request is genuine. Take time to think about it as well.
Is just Negative Option Marketing Model
A negative option is a marketing model where a company interprets a customer's silence or failure to take affirmative action as acceptance of an offer. If the customer does not explicitly "opt out" or cancel, they are automatically billed for goods or services.
Subscribe and save is just a different twist on this.
Prudent people never use such an option.
This IS rocket science after all.
