Donald Trump has so far been unable to obtain a bond that would allow him to appeal a $454 million judgment against him in a New York civil fraud case without posting the full amount himself, his lawyers said on Monday.

Does anyone else have the sneaking feeling Elon is going to show up at some point? He is probably the only person with that much cash on hand who would be willing to lend it to Trump.
If Elon were a natural-born US citizen, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to sell him the VP job. He might try anyway. Or make him Secretary of State, or some bullshit like that.
I don’t think Elon has that much liquid. He’d have to sell off a lot of shares of one of his companies, and that would probably disaffect the stock. I wouldn’t put it past him to do that though.
If Elon had an actual liquidity crisis where he had to bring a meaningful fraction of his assets to bear in terms of real monetary value, he’d probably lose control of his publicly traded companies.
