Him being a Trump associate is a lever, but not a financial one… unless and until they have a falling-out. I'd be surprised if that's any less than 6 months away, or more than 3 years away.

Depends if he dies in office (~10% all causes, he's old etc.), and if the dems regain congress in two years.
Trump was already very close to getting one day in jail due to inability to behave himself in the trial where he got all those felony convictions, and he did get impeached twice.

That's the other thing: Trump's tastes and whims are super fickle. Trump and Musk have already clashed on a bunch of things, and there's no reason to believe that won't continue and/or get worse. And Trump's priorities could change, without a corresponding shift in Musk's.
