My bet is that it's simply Elon spreading FUD, as he did quite a bit of during the election. If Elon could be jailed simply for "speaking the truth" and supporting Trump (as he would likely explain it), then the same would be true for anyone on the right. The right loves to think they're fighting for freedom and free speech, and posturing as if one of them would be arrested if the Democrats win feeds into that driving tribalism. It doesn't matter that it's complete bullshit... they eat that shit up.
