Summary

Democrats Stansbury and Raskin introduced the “Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act,” which targets Elon Musk’s dismantling of federal services through the DOGE cost-cutting scheme.

It seeks personal liability for Musk, amid lawsuits and concerns over sensitive data access.

The proposal aims to protect taxpayers and critical federal operations against unauthorized actions.

    Not sure if you are being serious or not. Police do not exist in society to protect the people, they exist to protect the rich.

    Any police officer who attempted to arrest one of the richest people would immediately be hit with a lawsuit, likely lose their job within a couple days, and be shunned by the rest of their gang. Not to mention the situation could easily escalate given that most rich people have private guards who are equally armed to defend themselves in case of any Luigi’s.

    Additionally police don’t tend to just go arrest high profile people without a lot of justification for doing so ahead of time, such as an arrest warrant, and lots of paper work.

    If someone went to a police precinct and told them to arrest him, they’d probably first get a good laugh out of the people behind the desk, and then told to leave immediately.

      True, all rich people have escaped the law, not a single one behind bars, ever, I never realized that!
