Here's where your analysis is wrong:

Elon Musk doesn't have "bananas". He has shares of stock in Tesla, which are largely only of value because he is running the company. Him owning that stock doesn't mean fewer "bananas" for anyone. Taking away his shares of stock won't produce any more "bananas".

Yeah, we're not going to let you do that again. Sorry.
