Yeah, and he’ll never be able to go down under again. I’m not sure what he thinks of Australia, or if he’s ever been here. But that’s one less potential holiday destination for him in the event twitter gets convicted.
Even if the fine were to reach half of what he spent on Twitter, he would have to pay them $687,000/day for longer than the average life expectancy in the healthiest country on earth (87 years). A billion is such an absurd number.
I don’t think it’ll ever happen, but I would LOVE to see Musk detained and fined.

In some places, fines are based on income or wealth. Like speeding tickets in Finland. So hopefully it’ll happen and he will feel it.
Hell he’s such an attention seeker he’d wear the fines as a badge of honour
In many cases, I would agree, but the article says

Google tells me his net worth is $234.4 billion. That’s enough money for 341,193 days of fines, or just over 900 years. So no, he probably won’t care
