We could never have imagined this: once the richest person in the world, basking in the spotlight alongside Trump, he has now begun to fear that he could be sent to prison and even deported from the United States!

Recently, Musk publicly voiced his concern, suggesting that the Democrats might launch a political vendetta against him: investigate his companies’ activities, cancel government contracts, and even raise the issues of nationalization and his immigration status.

Meanwhile, Hillary also stated publicly that the new Congress should hold those involved accountable.

It seems to me that the most troubling thing about this story isn't whether Musk will actually be sent to prison, but that the political struggle between the two U.S. parties could start spilling over into business.

Think about it: aren't SpaceX's government contracts, Tesla's subsidies, and Starlink's defense projects all connected to the U.S. government by a thousand threads?

If the new Congress really does begin investigating these companies, the consequences will probably affect more than just Musk—the entire tech sector of the U.S. stock market could face fresh uncertainty.

On top of that, global financial markets are already unsettled: a circuit breaker was triggered on the Korean stock market, while BTC is still hovering around a key level.

What worries me most right now is that the political struggle in the U.S. will continue to intensify, and ultimately the entire financial market will have to pay the price.

But on the other hand, a congressional investigation doesn't mean the companies can simply be seized, much less guarantee that Musk will end up in prison or be deported.

The former richest person in the world could now also find himself caught up in the political storm in the U.S.

If even Musk has begun to fear political persecution, how much longer can Wall Street stay calm?
