Ethics is a top-down notion within organizations. Since Trump is amoral, completely unconcerned about whether an action is right or wrong, he set the tone while in office, within his business organization and within his campaign. Trump knows right from wrong, he simply doesn't care about the ethical ramifications of his actions; he just wants what he wants. The problem is that all ethical systems ultimately rely on the character of people. Voters need to understand how crucial it is not to vote for unethical candidates who hurt the system and everyone in it and affected by it. This is also why most systems have checks and balances.

Certainly a lawsuit from Musk, which would run through Texas. Historically, SCOTUS very dubious about seising private property.
