I wish, but he's too rich for that to be possible. Too much plausible deniability.

Trump is a billionaire and was convicted on 34 counts.

Epstein had 600 million and was convicted.

musk loses legal battles regularly, maybe he'll lose this one too if the matter is brought up.

Yet only Epstein ever saw a cell. Probably because it was a convenient place for those he could testify against to stage a suicide.

being rich making you immune to prosecution is a subservient, nihilistic misconception.

being rich helps, but it does not automatically or completely protect you from being convicted or going to prison.

there are lots of multi-millionaires and billionaires who went to prison.

This just in, yelling fire in a crowded theater is not free speech, what are we gonna do about this patriot?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yep. These people are fine with Gestapo tactics, if those tactics are in service of their side. Imagine Trump rounding people up based on their tweets.

I appreciate someone having critical reading and critical thinking skills. Thank you for a ray of hope.
