    But he is a naturalized citizen; you can’t deport citizens, and if he does this to Elon he can do it for everyone.

    The Supreme Court already gave him permission to remove naturalized citizenship. He’s going to use it, but it’ll be on a lot of defenseless poor people, not Elon.

      When I say “can’t,” I don’t mean “he won’t try” or even “he won’t be allowed to do it.” I mean it in the same sense as “you can’t run a red light when no police officers are watching.” This is a rule we’ve agreed upon and even set down as law for everyone’s protection. Sure, you’ll make it through, and no one will stop you; but if you’re driving a big enough truck you’re going to hurt and kill a lot of people in the process. And the guy coming up behind you might well do the same thing and hit you with the next truck.
