If you rob a bank and get caught in the middle, does that mean it’s not a crime?

It doesn’t matter if he was successful or incompetent, a crime is a crime.

If you planned to rob a bank but then back out of the plan, only for the feds to force you to go through with it, that is entrapment, and your case would get thrown out.

No, it’s the other way around. In Musks case not buying twitter was robbing the bank. The feds forced him to not rob the bank but he is still under investigation because he tried.
