- Elon Musk must attend an emergency court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday to address a bid by the city’s top prosecutor to stop the Tesla CEO and his political action committee from continuing to award $1 million prizes to registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed his lawsuit against Musk and the America PAC “triggered an avalanche of [social media] posts from Musk’s followers,” many of whom “made antisemitic attacks on Krasner.”
- Krasner’s lawsuit accuses Musk and the PAC of operating an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
For the love of Christ throw the entire fucking book at him
Too late, damage is done, if Trump wins he’s guaranteed a federal pardon.
This is why they always win, because he wasn’t put in jail after the first 9000 felonies.
This is a state crime.
This is not a prosecution, this is a lawsuit for an order to desist, basically a temporary restraining order.
The potential crime would be against federal election laws, which could be either civil or criminal federal prosecutions.
To be fair, he’s also breaking Pennsylvanian lottery laws which he could be prosecuted for on a state level.
Very interesting. More complicated than I realized. Thanks for the correction.
You can’t pardon a State Crime
… Until the Supreme Court invents a crazy new precedent that goes against the Constitution.
He bought the book, and he’s scribbling in it with a crayon and burning pages
After a remarkably short court hearing, Elon Musk has found the presiding judge in his own case guilty of “the woke mind virus” and sentenced him to 47 years in jail. The jury watched the ruling read in Musk’s own halting and strange speech, collectively shrugged their shoulders, and went home. “Well he has all that money,” said Anne Sodding, one of the jurors on the case. “He must be right, I guess.” Mr. Musk has declined to comment and was last seen driving his Tesla Cyber Truck the wrong way down a one way street exiting the courthouse.
Or at least a razor sharp copy of an Ayn Rand book.
