Well before the last election Musk was accused of market manipulation, around the time of his twitter acquisition, and before. He was sued by "investors who claim that Elon Musk's repeated attempts to buy Twitter Inc. in 2022 were an effort to manipulate the company's stock value.". He refused to give a deposition. There were further accusations during and after the purchase. This is in addition to the previous SEC lawsuit against Must for market manipulation.

Leading up to the last election, Musk said to Tucker Carlson "If Trump loses the election, then consider me gone. How many years do you think I will be in jail? Will I be able to see my children? I don't know.'.

He confessed to Tucker that he had a LOT of fear that something could come to light if Trump didn't win.
