Can Elon Musk be charged with domestic terrorism?
-
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
-
For us poor people, is rule based. For the mega rich, it’s definitely not
-
Just look at Epstein. He only had to serve weekends in prison. Probably in a five star resort too
-
If he wasn't super rich and entrenched in the government
-
This is a revelation I think more people are going to need to realize. There's no referee coming. The rules aren't magic. Ultimately, the only things that matter are physics and might. If enough people just decided fuck it, all the multimillonaires gotta die, no cosmic force is going to call a timeout.
-
and they did away with him as soon as it looked like he would rat them out.
-
Epstein only had to serve weekends? Seriously? You got a link for that? That's interesting...
-
The only threat to a rich person is pissing off the other rich people.
