Your edit is mostly fixed now, at least going by how it renders here on my end running Jerboa. It appears you just missed a space after your first asterisk bullet mark.

Thanks homie

I feel like at some point in the next few years Musk and Trump are going to have a falling out, and if Musk loses in that falling out he'll get slapped with a domestic terrorism or treason charge.

The police are assisting him...

only the feds can prosecute federal crimes. this administration won't let that happen. any federal prosecutor that wants to take a shot is gonna get fired or pushed out a window the instant their intent becomes known.
the dipshit would have to venture to a state with non-conflicting laws on the books, break them in some spectacular fashion, and that state would have to have an ag willing to go down that road and prosecute.
-
If there was a risk of that, he would have to make sure there isn’t a next administration.
-
The supreme court has made it pretty clear that the President is a King. He cannot be prosecuted for anything.
-
He’ll likely get a preemptive pardon like Biden’s family & cronies got last month.
-
Have you paid any attention to the political scene in the United States? There is no way that a billionaire could be convicted of any crime. In the rare event that they are charged, they can delay and obfuscate so that they die before any repercussions must be suffered.
I don't think that the truth of the two-tiered American justice system has ever been so clearly delineated.
-
To everyone pointing out that he won’t be charged, OP’s question was can he be charged. Yes we get that it’s unlikely given the current configuration of us gov’t, but do his actions meet the basic requirements? Yes, absolutely.
That said, most billionaires probably meet the definition.
-
- Indicted and charged: yes
- Tried: at the state level, yes
- convicted: at the state level, yes
- sentenced in any meaningful way: no
-
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records and then received an unconditional discharge of his sentence.
Trump would just pardon him.. Nothing you can do now.
-
And on top of it all, he would just get a presidential pardon
-
Can vs. will
-
Who is going to charge him? Who is going to enforce it? Wake up and stop pretending that "the law" is some sort of binding spell.
-
If this was a rules-based society, yes. It isn’t.
-
Id argue by this criteria, most politicians can be deemed domestic terrorists. Musk is certainly more brazenly active in that arena
