    I don’t think it works like that. We had a guy in my state who tried to drop out of a race after he was already on the ballot. He told the media he dropped out, didn’t want the office, etc. When he won he changed his mind and they swore him in.

      It does not legally work like that … but it does work like that. Conceding is a tradition/courtesy, but it would be seen as an admission of losing by Republicans.

      The Republicans took office. They would be the ones to take any action against Trump and Musk for cheating.
