When this is over, Musk is going to end up hanging from the end of a rope. He will be charged, tried, and convicted, and hanged for treason against the republic. What he has done is literally a capital offense. And those kids who've helped him enact this coup by hacking government systems? They have signed their own death warrants. They will join him on the gallows after they also are convicted for their treason and acts of terrorism against the nation.

This is plain fantasy. The CIA and others have had the power to do something about him for years now and have done nothing and they're not stopping this coup, either. You've seen how we got here. What makes you think it'll end differently to how it's been going?

sure, that's what they said about trump after his first go around, and they said it after every indictment, and then he was elected president again. if you haven't noticed yet the game is fixed, and not on the side of the angels. expecting any real justice for white supremacist billionaires in america is folly.

Realistically, if they does face justice, it will likely be mob justice. Trump and Musk are setting themselves up to be in an incredibly physically vulnerable position. What do you think is going to happen in the DC metro area after they fire half of the federal government? The vast majority of the DC population will want to literally see their heads on pikes. And the military? They may uphold their oath to the Constitution not by removing Trump by force themselves, but simply by standing aside and letting the mob storm the gates.

The problem with running a blatantly and undeniably unconstitutional regime is that mobs of angry people will have zero moral compulsion about removing you from this world in justice outside the law.

No. He’ll shoot himself, just like Hitler before him, because he cannot fathom a world in which he has zero control.

Or maybe he'll be a trillionaire and just keep fucking over everyone

Trump. Let's just get reporters to keep asking him if he can comment on all those people saying Elon is the president and is really running the show.

it's why Trump put him where he is, doing what he's doing. after everything you think a little mockery is going to get trumps goat. really? after beating every indictment and prosecutions cold, and then running , and winning the pesidency, again, after everything. ok, buddy, knock yourself out.
