7. A state court wouldn't have jurisdiction.

Stopping Musk's interference with government processes has to be done by a federal court issuing an injunction. This is a civil matter over which a state court would not have jurisdiction. If he's committed a crime it is also likely to be a federal crime, which would have to be prosecuted by the DoJ (not likely to happen even if it should). There is no way for a state court to get involved in this situation at all.
