Destroying Elon Musk Would Destroy 110,000 Jobs—And the American Dream

By Bobby Darvish, Conservative Iranian-American Christian

There are whispers among radical leftist circles, even open calls from some online ideologues, saying things like: “If we shut down all of Elon Musk’s corporations and bankrupt him, we’ll put 110,000 people on the unemployment line. That would teach him—and all others who come after him—a lesson.”

A lesson in what, exactly? That success will be punished? That innovation should be suppressed? That political dissent warrants economic annihilation?

This kind of rhetoric is not only reckless—it’s anti-American to the core.

Musk’s Companies Employ Over 110,000 People Worldwide

Let’s begin with the facts. Elon Musk’s companies—Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, The Boring Company, and others—collectively employ over 110,000 people across the globe, the vast majority of whom are hard-working engineers, factory workers, scientists, designers, programmers, and skilled laborers.

Tesla alone employed more than 140,000 people as of 2023, with around 127,855 full-time workers according to the company’s annual report [¹].
SpaceX, his aerospace firm, has about 13,000 employees [²].
Neuralink, The Boring Company, and X (Twitter) add to that headcount, with estimates ranging in the thousands.

To “shut him down” or to deliberately bankrupt these companies is not merely targeting a billionaire—it’s obliterating the livelihoods of over 110,000 families, many of whom rely on these jobs to put food on the table and pay their bills.

🇺🇸 Musk’s Story Is the American Dream

Elon Musk is an immigrant entrepreneur who came to the United States with a dream—and built it into reality through risk, innovation, and perseverance. The radical notion of destroying him and others like him isn’t just vindictive—it’s fundamentally Marxist.

In America, we’ve always believed that hard work, ingenuity, and free speech should be rewarded—not silenced, taxed into oblivion, or crushed through weaponized bureaucracy or cancel culture.

The left’s growing hostility toward successful businessmen isn’t about “equity” or “justice”—it’s about control. They want a nation where the state, not the market, decides who succeeds and who fails. But we’ve seen where that leads: Venezuela. Cuba. The Soviet Union. Economic collapse, poverty, and tyranny.

This Is About Free Speech, Not Just Capitalism

Let’s not pretend this isn’t political. Elon Musk is being targeted because he took over X (formerly Twitter) and restored free speech. He dared to challenge the elite media narrative, to allow dissenting voices on COVID, gender, and the 2020 election. And for that, they want him gone.

When government officials and media talking heads start floating the idea of “investigating” or “breaking up” Musk’s businesses, it’s not about corporate ethics—it’s about silencing an inconvenient voice. It's about using the regulatory state as a bludgeon to punish those who defy the woke cartel.

As Musk himself warned:

"If it’s not OK to be in favor of free speech, then we are in trouble."

Bankrupting Musk Would Trigger an Economic and Technological Setback

Let’s not ignore the economic and national security implications. Tesla is the global leader in electric vehicle production. SpaceX is the backbone of American spaceflight, launching everything from satellites to astronauts for NASA. Starlink is bringing internet to rural areas and war zones. Neuralink and xAI are pushing frontiers in artificial intelligence and medicine.

To deliberately sabotage these companies would be akin to economic treason. It would cripple American innovation, strengthen Chinese and European competitors, and put national infrastructure and defense capabilities at risk.

Do we really want to see Chinese state-run space companies replace SpaceX as NASA’s primary partner? Do we want to hand the internet, AI, and electric vehicle futures over to Beijing?

Conclusion: Destroying Musk Hurts the Workers, Not the Billionaire

The fantasy of punishing Elon Musk to “teach him a lesson” is not a solution—it’s a delusion. In their hatred of one man, the radical left is willing to burn down the economy, silence dissent, and destroy the lives of 110,000 workers. That’s not justice—that’s vengeance masked as virtue.

In a free country, we don’t destroy people for being successful. We don’t criminalize innovation. We don’t punish dissent.

We build. We create. We allow freedom.

And if we still believe in the American Dream, we must defend Elon Musk—not because he is perfect, but because the alternative is a nightmare of state control, economic ruin, and ideological tyranny.
