      If he’d held out one more day it would have been 700k. 2 more days, 1.4M. 3 more, 2.8M.

      i.e. Musk caved before it became consequential.

      1.4B if he’d waited 2 weeks more. 23.4T (that’s Trillion) if he wanted to shield Trump for a month. I’d say it was a heavy fine that worked as intended.

      Someone check my math.
