Well, I don’t want AI and Robotics, so that was easy.
Counteroffer: we launch him into the sun for free.
Counter-counteroffer: we have him blast himself into the sun and he foots the bill.
You’re a tough negotiator. Approved.

I propose that he gives me his money and then fucks off to the desert on Mars.
It just occurred to me: How many of our problems could be solved if we just started throwing them into the sun?
Unfortunately, very few: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/its-surprisingly-hard-to-go-to-the-sun/
They didn’t say “if we could throw them into the sun”, they clearly have a teleporter that allows throwing things into the sun, it’s just how many problems would we solve if we did so.
Technically? All of them.
Far cheaper to launch them into a slowly degrading low earth orbit and let them burn up on reentry.
It'd be cheaper to send him out if the solar system though
But then he might come back
Probably more expensive than you think...
It's volume pricing...sure if we do it just with Elon it'd be expensive, but if we launch all neo-fascists from around the globe into the sun, the price per unit doesn't look so bad.
Is he bigger than a rover?
I say keep him until we discover an asteroid on route to collide with planet Earth. Let's be practical here.
Send his ass on a one way trip to Mars. I'll gladly accept a one time tax hike for that.
Lowest bidder: let's just use an old hatchet.
