This would be like taking Musk's money by making him sell his stocks. Once the market is flooded with paper, it becomes less and less valuable, very quickly. Musk doesn't actually have hundreds of billions anymore than the UE has trillions in US treasuries.

I know that's ridiculously oversimplified, but someone has to buy those bonds, and the later you are to the selling table, the less you get.
