The best part about this is that unlike a lot of the other illegal shit his PACs are doing, Musk can't separate himself from it and say he wasn't personally involved. He personally handed out the giant check.
If Harris wins, and if her administration actually decides to crack down on this shit, Musk could end up behind bars. I'm not holding my breath, but it's a still a pleasant thought.
The first rally he came out for trump, he flat out said "if trump loses I'm fucked".
It's logical to assume if he's being this blatant because even a little digging would show obvious crimes.
He's already fucked, he has no other option than to double down with blantant shit.
All the more reason to act now, the election is in two weeks, but if looking into this gets a head start to find some shady shit before January...
Well, it's probably all hypothetical, Biden wouldn't have the balls to do anything.
That's what you get when you nominate someone because he "has been able to work with Republicans his whole career"
That wasn't why he was given the nomination, it was the excuse given for why it had to be Biden.
Like, I have a very low opinion about the intelligence of the people running the dnc...
But they couldn't be stupid enough to believe that shit, even if Biden honestly did.
Are you saying that he'll be expected to go to jail if Harris wins? I think you just made my day.
Biden was never a tough-as-nails prosecutor. But this is how Harris made her name, so there's every reason to expect she's do things differently after Jan 20.
