Glad I am not the only one who thought that Elon may just be the "hostage" that is being referred to! Looking forward to finding out who the "others" are who had "no choice"!
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and
(c) the term “United States person” means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States."
So if a business / corporation is involved in serious human rights abuse, then the government can act. Weren't there rumors of Twatter, YouTube, Fakebook, etc being involved in human trafficking and child porn? Not to mention silencing opposing views going against freedom of speech. Would the government take over? Issue a government contract to a government contractor? And would a government contractor, like Elon Musk / Tesla, then take over the corporation's operations? If so, I wonder if the government put out public bids on their website https://sam.gov/content/home
Here's the EO: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/
Interesting notes:
"What happens if seized?"
"Who controls the controllers?"
"NEW puppet master."
"Not deal."

Lindsey Graham for damn sure.
Wasn't the drop saying 'no one sleeping tonight' and 'let that sink in' posted the day after this?
Just checked...it was the same day.
The EO states:
