ScottFor the love of Christ throw the entire fucking book at him
Too late, damage is done, if Trump wins he's guaranteed a federal pardon.
This is why they always win, because he wasn't put in jail after the first 9000 felonies.
FilthyHandsThis is a state crime.
This is not a prosecution, this is a lawsuit for an order to desist, basically a temporary restraining order.
The potential crime would be against federal election laws, which could be either civil or criminal federal prosecutions.
To be fair, he's also breaking Pennsylvanian lottery laws which he could be prosecuted for on a state level.
Very interesting. More complicated than I realized. Thanks for the correction.
He bought the book, and he’s scribbling in it with a crayon and burning pages
After a remarkably short court hearing, Elon Musk has found the presiding judge in his own case guilty of "the woke mind virus" and sentenced him to 47 years in jail. The jury watched the ruling read in Musk's own halting and strange speech, collectively shrugged their shoulders, and went home. "Well he has all that money," said Anne Sodding, one of the jurors on the case. "He must be right, I guess."
Mr. Musk has declined to comment and was last seen driving his Tesla Cyber Truck the wrong way down a one way street exiting the courthouse.
GrymEdmLooking at that 2nd point: it's so odd that Trump's Republicans include hardcore Netanyahu-style Zionists AND unrepentant antisemites. It's like they want to cover all possible approaches to the wrong side of history.
As to the meat of the story, Legal Eagle made a video about the legality of the Musk lottery. It seems pretty clearly forbidden, but we've been down this road with rich Conservatives many times before...
Flying Squidit’s so odd that Trump’s Republicans include hardcore Netanyahu-style Zionists AND unrepentant antisemites.
Not as odd as you think, especially if those unrepentant antisemites are also evangelicals. They believe that all the Jews have to return to Israel, by force if necessary, for Jesus to return. Plenty of others also want to force all the Jews to live in Israel because they want rigidly-enforced ethnostates. Either way, they don't like Jews, they just find them useful. In fact, the evangelicals expect them all to be thrown into Hell by Jesus when he returns.
And Trump’s message is support for bigotry- all bigots welcome
Not *all* bigots.
You damn well better pay fealty to the white masters.
treadfulJust waiting for him to fail to appear and nothing be done about it.
KoboldCoteriePenalties if found guilty range from a fine to jail time. I wonder which he'd get... 🙄

mycodesucksActually, in his case, I'd wager they range from NOTHING to jail time.
Ahhh, I finally understand trickle down economics.
I'd like to trickle some of my "economics" down Elon's face.
You want to throw money in his face? Weird.
Maybe not money, but it has its practical uses so maybe we could work out a trade.

I admit, the idea of pissing on the faces of billionaires does get me a little hard...
But only if they weren't into it.
Oh please. Pathetic. This is the wet lettuce slap Musk was predicting.
Queue a big song and dance about corrupt courts stifling free speech and manipulating elections. Great opportunity to splash headlines everywhere about a lottery whereby you can win $1m by voting for Trump, because he's a very rich and very successful businessman.
This whole shit show is cooked. There is no justice, honesty, or transparency. It's just idiots pissing in each others pockets all the way down.
I'll bet my life savings that he doesn't show up, and that he doesn't do any jail time because of that.
I say this in jest, but,
Eat your heart out Martha Stewart.
osaerisxeroNormally I would agree with you, but a Philadelphia DA doesn't order Musk to appear in person without knowing what he'll do. It's warrant bait, pure and simple.
Idk, I hope you're right. I agree about what it is but I don't think we agree how it'll shake out.
I think we want the same shake out, I'm just pessimistic here.
This dude has more money than that whole state. No fucking chance.
PA GDP is over $1T.
Is Philly a sanctuary city? If so, the judge should point out to Elon how lucky he is that the Court is not gonna narc him out to ICE.
it's good to know he's being taken to court where he'll face literally zero consequences
But he has to show up, that's like worse than prison
His time is worth eleventy-billion per hour so its a huge punishment just making him show up
His time is worthless just like his life
DOJ is going to do nothing and force an eventual riot/revolt/revolution.
As he should be.
Lock him up!
