Not with their current anti-American leadership, who is actually considering removing the low corporate tax incentive so that they can “harmonize” with the higher tax rates of the bigger countries that rule over them.

Well population is just over 5 million and Musk has more money their entire GDP.
Not sure it's worth the trouble.

Grok:

Population: Approximately 5.35 to 5.4 million people as of early 2026. Recent estimates include around 5.336 million (Worldometer/UN-based projection for mid-2025 to early 2026), 5.357 million (PopulationPyramid.net for 2026), and about 5.46 million (some 2025 estimates with ongoing growth). The population has been growing steadily due to immigration and natural increase.

GDP (nominal, in current US dollars): Latest full-year figures show around $609 billion for 2024 (World Bank and other sources). Projections and estimates for 2025 range from about $587–709 billion (varying by source like IMF, Wikipedia compilations, and economic forecasts), with some forecasts indicating strong growth in 2025 (up to 10%+ due to exports and multinationals) before moderating in 2026.
