That would actually warrant arrest of all involved. But who will do it? DOJ/law enforcement is compromised. D.C. police?

There's the legal angle, but the SCOTUS will just side with him and Trump.

I wish a group of WORLDWIDE PR people would come together, create the most unbelievable PR campaign the world has ever seen, at every level (FB, Insta, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, independent journalists, podcasts, etc.,) and disseminate it around the world about Trump, but especially Musk. Let it be seen 24/7. Posts, commercials, videos, interviews (with people TBD,) things my non-PR brain hasn't even thought of. Led by Donkeys did an amazing video that showed his interference in elections, and broadcast it on a Telsa factory in Germany - PR and stories like that, but more. So many have already forgotten about his two sieg heil salutes.



Musk's already proven he's going to tamper in many other country's elections, not just ours. While he's our biggest danger at the moment, he's a danger to the world. In destabilizing the US, it destabilizes and cuts off monetary flow to many countries in need (see: USAID)

Besides, he is bestest buddies with Putin, so Putin is laughing his ass off telling him to create Chaos in the U.S. Government....

29. Good Idea
Mon Feb 3, 2025, 06:34 PM

A better idea is to arrest him and his criminal DOGE Agents. These people are in violation of the law and the Constitution, at the very least Obstruction of Government Operations, which I believe is a felony. But at least this Congressman is showing some spine and the right attitude. Our Constitution is under attack and everyone who is a real American must defend it, especially the people in government that took an Oath to defend the Constitution. Now is the time for those in government who are loyal to their oaths to act. Arrest Elon Musk and his criminal agents.

take him to Colorado's SUPERMAX.....................along with Trump, his entire administration, ALL Republican Senators and members of the House, as well as ALL Republican Governors...........

Each alone in their cell, no contact with any other prisoners, no email, cell phone, texting, TV, Radio NOTHING. Concrete Bed, concrete stool, sink, toilet............No visitors except once a month lawyer visit.

All the prisoners say it is worse than a death sentence.....McVeigh begged them to execute him, which they did. They should have left him in their to rot for the rest of his life......

Supermax is escape proof also..............

ARREST his illegal, corrupt, thieving, traitorous NAZI ass for his coup taking over OUR government. Send him to the Red (how fitting) planet after a quick trial, on one of his crappy, tax-payer funded rockets. If it meets with the same level of "success"as some of the others, shrug.

Can people sue the fuck out of him at minimum?

Imagine being so rich, you're not content, you just want to be an asshole. Throw his ass in prison.

All of this could have been avoided had the Justice system grew a pair and thrown the orange man in prison. This wouldn't fly in any other civilized nation.
