    Musk? Isn't that the guy that was trying to hook up with little kids?

    Strip his citizenship. Jail him. Nationalize his companies.

    Someone let me know when he is inside of a cage for this. Until then it doesn't matter

    Exactly. The gaping hole in the judicial system exposed by both Trump and Musk is that it takes forever for any consequences to arise, and you can just delay and appeal and delay until you get a buyable judge.

    Musk is winding up to meddle in another election. Like oh no, oh golly gosh, he did something naughty last time. What the fuck are you going to do to stop him doing that again? Fuck all.

    I feel like it's been that way for as long as the US has been a country. Maybe longer. There's almost always different rules for rich people. People pay lip service to ideals like freedom and fairness, but then there's the reality.

    Once the current felon is discharged, I assure you, a felony conviction will lead to all kinds of real world pains in the assholes, even if not direct incarceration.

    You say that like you think Trump won't issue blanket pardons for anyone even peripherally connected to him on his way out.

    Genuinely we should invalidate everything this admin has done and set the clock back to.. what year is it these days..? feels so long ago? To 2024.

    All the pardons he sold? Unpardoned. All the eos he proclaimed? Invalidated. Every law he signed or vetod? Reversed, or at least undone to be voted on again.

    Its just wild that we don't have any real mechanism to undo this kind of damage. I know they thought it wouldn't happen, but fuck me, they didn't even “what if..?”

    But also, he’s a selfish grifter, why would he help anyone if he doesn't get anything for it?

    ....huh, sounds like bribery with extra steps.

    Someone on here once did the maths and showed that Musk could lose 99% of his wealth, and of the 1% remaining, lose 99% of that and he'd still be disgustingly rich. I have a feeling you could go a few more iterations without it affecting him.

    Although how much of his net worth is actual assets and how much is just tied up in vaporware valuations.

    Each party "spent" about a billion dollars in the last election (that we know of). This is small change comparatively.

    BUT I'm not complaining. At least it's something.

    Next election, Musk will simply funnel more cash into his candidate directly and not bother with a "lottery" for the proles. The problem is so much bigger.

    Isn't this still voter manipulation even if it was a real lottery?

    And to think, this is one of the more flattering pictures of Musk on a political stage.

    Why does this guy write his post like Trump?

    Because it's just them bragging about what they're getting away with. Any real action against these dudes will start with jail no bail until trial, until then they literally write articles about how cooked they should be and the gap between that and the freedom they actually have is the absolute proof of their dominance and lordship over society.

    Being able to spit in your face and watch you just sit there and sputter about how cooked they are is the only currency in the entire world.

    No chance he'll see jail time.
