Ten's of thousands of people have already died at the hands of Elon Musk destroying USAID. It was all part of their plan. Then Elon got hundreds of billions in welfare from trump for helping do the dirty work.
And what will that do?
At worst? Ever so slightly stoke voter outrage at this whole fiasco and increase awareness of the oligarch class.
At best? Fines, jail time, reinstatement of disbanded agencies.
Nothing in the at beat camp is likely to happen, but making a spectacle out of it and potentially getting someone to admit something they don't mean to will likely help nudge some voters. Even if they're mostly left leaning getting more people to turn out will help.
Maybe trial him for mass murder as this costed an estimate of 600.000 to 1.200.000 people their lives.
Elon musk: he's like henry kissinger levels of evil.
I could be wrong here, but are you sure that's not a projected outcome due to the fallout vs present has happened. I don't doubt it will, just not sure it has.
Thanks.
Also I didnt know this part at all
The slashing of US foreign assistance was followed by cuts by the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and other developed nations, which are set to take effect this year and next year, compounding the impact.
You'd have hoped the international community would have also stepped up to help fill in the gaps, not that they would ever have been able to fully fill it. That's the opposite.
This is so annoying. If he wasn't allowed to or able to or supposed to, how did it happen???
The constitution was written by people who assumed the positions they were creating would always be occupied by good-faith actors. They weren't.
USAID was established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy via executive order under the authority of the Congress-passed Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. While authorized by this legislation, it was later formally codified as an independent agency by Congress through the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998.
Sadly, a LOT of people stayed home and did not vote for Kamala Harris, or they voted 3rd party, and Trump was elected to run the Executive branch. The Trump administration decided the executive branch could choose which laws they executed. The opposition was immediate and lawsuits were filed, but the gears of justice grind slowly, so here we are in 2026 with depositions finally starting.
Noone said no, is my guess.
Most pedos are used to being the only adult in the room. They make up whatever rules they want.
We need less "depose" and more "dispose".
I remember when Musk was the cool electric car guy and not the chief accomplice to the dismantling of Western democracy.
He was never really that either tho. He’s always been a douche.
If he ever faces justice for the hundreds of thousands needlessly dead because of him I hope it a fine based on net worth like the Nordic countries do, and then death.
Unfortunately it’s the US justice system and Elon has the largest Wealth Value in the world
Best we can realistically hope for is luigi
Unfortunately it’s the US justice system
But it's the best justice system money can buy?!
I've been saying for decades now that america has the best education/healthcare/justice that money can buy. I don't say that about government because it hasn't been the best for decades even if it has been bought for decades.
It's the best justice system money can buy out*
That was sort of implied, yes
Ah sorry, sarcasm is harder and harder to spot these days with all the insanity that is actually happening
Yes but that concentration of wealth is not only an asset but a threat.
He’s rich. Obscenely rich. The kind of rich where you can buy other rich people. He has no peers.
And if you take him out, that money, power, influence, it’s all up for grabs. The power vacuum is intoxicating to a certain subset of humanity who, funny thing, he’s been propping up.
I’m concerned about the leopards. They are going to die of morbid obesity.
Yeah but that value is based almost exclusively on stock in volatile companies like Tesla. Kill Tesla and that disappears basically overnight.
I thought that said deported.
My evening is ruined.
DEPORT THIS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT!
But he's the "right kind" of African!
/S (in case this is needed)
Oh no. A deposition. Questions will be asked. He's in big trouble.
He might even get a finger wagged at him!
Don't you get deported when you're not born in the US and are convicted of a felony? Just saying.
He's a naturalized US citizen. But citizenship can be stripped, especially if someone has dual citizenship. And Musk still has Canadian citizenship...
Ok, and then what?
Dems will hound him doggedly for donations next election cycle.
