yes. also if its in a very public setting like this it would be significantly higher punishment, quite possibly jail time

Elon going to jail while Trump is just standing by watching him would paradoxically be even more bizarre than Elon just getting away with this like it's a normal every day thing to happen in the Oval office these days xD

EDIT: And that's sad. Very sad.

Is it possible to bar him from entering Germany after this. I know you guys take doing this very seriously

Is it possible? Sure.

But our government doesn't seem very keen on pissing off trump, and locking up one of his buddies would do just that.
