How many Benghazi sessions did Clinton have to endure? Gonna need like 10 times as many for him. Just hours and hours of time wasting for him, hopefully with lots of temper tantrums and perjury.

The potential probe will focus on Musk's massive political donations to Republicans and his past role leading President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

I don't know that there's anything necessarily illegal about his donations? But I think in the previous election he was paying people to vote for Trump, and sending people pre-filled ballots, both of which are clearly illegal.

Representative Greg Casar raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, questioning if Musk's donations aim to secure additional federal government contracts for SpaceX and Tesla.

This has to be the biggest problem with Musk. Although again, not sure if there was anything strictly illegal done there. If there was, it was probably on the part of Trump, who has complete immunity from prosecution for Presidential acts.

So I remain pessimistic...

Find a billionaire that shouldn't.

He told Tucker Carlson before the election that he would be fucked and go to prison if trump lost.

Good. That whole thing was a clusterfuck at best, and more likely sabotage and treason (I’m not just throwing that word about – he’s been working closely with Putin through all that, whether he was a collaborator or a useful idiot, and undermining US government institutions on behalf of a rival power is the definition of treason).

now

That's his whole problem...

Last minute media blitzs work against neoliberals because that's the same thing neoliberals have to resort to if they want to win elections

Otherwise their platforms and candidates can't stand up to the scrutiny.

With progressive policy/candidates, the more voters hear about them, the more popular they get.

That's why every state Dem party operating at campaign levels the last 18 months resulted in a shit ton of progressives making it to the general and winning special elections.

Republicans can't compete against that, which is the entire reason why in February of 2025 the DNC pivoted away from neoliberalism.

Absolutely no one should be surprised by what's about to happen over the next two years. But they will be because billionaire owned media will keep denying it's happening, and then try to credit neoliberals after it happens.

Musk helped get us out of the habit of asking. By the time we reimplement that feature, it may be too late for his particular case. Also, it doesn't need to be a country where he's from or has any ties and if there are people there who want to kill him, that's hardly our problem. Totally unrelated, but what's that uncontacted island where all those missionaries keep dying?

Things to investigate, what am I missing?:

  1. His brother's admission that they fraudulently used their student visas to start businesses, and if he didn't admit it on his naturalization application, then that's grounds for denaturalization.
  2. Election fraud related to his promises to pay for votes, and other suspicious statements.
  3. Countless privacy, data security and other laws violated at DOGE.
  4. His associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
  5. Use of his controlling power at his companies to benefit himself and defraud investors.
  6. Lies to the NHTSA and consumers about the capabilities and safety claims about Tesla cars.
  7. Illicit preferences and treatment for his companies as corrupt payment for funding the GOP electoral machine.

That's in 4 minutes off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more. Hakeem Jeffries, you can have that list for free to start with - or, hey, better yet, let's get someone else who actually will take some action to lead the House.

Yes. As he should be. But so many people are in the running for being on the top of that list.

Asshats like Russ Vought need to be on there, too. Sure, Musk was having idiotic teenagers with no qualifications doing their "doge" bullshit, but it's Vought behind a lot of this.

Get that motherfucker on the stand.

Same with Carr. And Hegseth. And Bondi. And Blanche....there are just so many motherfuckers that need to pay.

I'm certain they'll get around to it, we'll see a strongly worded report in 24 months.

Instead, let's rescind Musk's citizenship for fraud on his application.

I love it. Yeah, Hillary had to deal with a lot of complete nonsense lawfare over that, and it was entirely made-up bullshit over 4 dead Americans. Because the cons knew she was going to run.

The least we could do is have some shitstain like Elon endure 100x that over real stuff. Because what he (and Vought) have willfully done is likely going to (probably has already) kill far, far, far more than just 4 people.

Dems, when you get accused of partisanship, the move is to deny it and carry on with your plans. Ignore the naysayers and achieve your goals.
DO NOT run away while whining about how the media is unfair.

Send him to Epstein Island where he has many fond memories, and then nuke it

An Apartheid emerald mine owner’s son is now the richest man in Earth. When you look at his upbringing, his sense of morals or lack thereof makes sense.

Elon is a born Nazi. He could never rise above it. It gave him what he needed to become he agent of fascism he is today.

Find out what exactly Trump meant when he said, “Elon knows those voting machines really well,” and then thanked him for giving him Pennsylvania. Those were quite fucking revealing comments, to say the least. Add on all those weird comments from his little meat shield kid, X-10101-cknvalkmcnvoefr, or whatever the fuck his name is. They stole the election, they committed treason, so give them the televised firing squad they so desire.

Sure, they might try but will get ignored like last time and the evidence might vanish, might be some problem so they don't get power. Either way in two years the propaganda will say that Dems wasted all the time on witch hunts and lawfare and the voters will agree or not show up again and right back to maga. I'd love to be wrong about this, I can handle it lol!
