      He’s one of those old guys that’s still just a little boy on the inside.

    An old-timey duel to the death would be the logical solution to this problem

    The one time I would not be in favor of due process would be if Trump sent him to El Salvador. A side effect could be that Musk’s lawyers might even be able to fix due process for everyone. If not, he rots in a foreign prison. I see no downside.

        We already have the precedent (see Andry José Hernández Romero, for example). Someone with power might be able to reverse it.

    Deport Elon to El Salvador. Then let DOGE defund the prison program accidentally, because they don’t understand why the El Salvadorian prison system is subsidized by the US.

    I have never agreed with Bannon in my life but I have to say he makes some good points here. Musk has been involved in a lot of lies, stock manipulations, insider trading, and clearly some criminal negligence at tesla. And he comes from a well known criminal family. Even Musk himself said this about his dad Eroll Musk,

    “You have no idea about how bad. Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done,” Elon said. “Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done … It’s so terrible, you can’t believe it.”

    So Elon is flat out admitting that his businesses sprang from criminal enterprise? When would he say he went legit and is he still connected to this worst criminals you can think of? Needs investigating. They should civil asset forfeiture his stuff while they look into it- thats what they would do to any of us.

    One good thing to come out of this is if trump cancels Musk’s new billions in government contracts that were the main reason Musk bought trump in the first place. 🤞

      I think there has been a shift in power. A couple months ago Trump was 100% Musk’s bitch. Fuck, his kid told Trump to shut up and that he “wasn’t the president”. Musk definitely had something on Trump. The Epstein files would definitely fit the bill.

      I’m having a hard time believing anybody would be dumb enough to not have a backup, but this is Musk. He’s out of his fucking gourd half the time.

        Yes, he was completely submissive to Musk and his little X brat! I kind of marveled at how he sat there and took shit from them in that office and I knew Musk owned him. I don’t really think the Epstein thing is that important. Everyone already knows about it, and his followers won’t believe it or won’t care. If a crime, I think it would have to be something bigger. Like on the level of the conspiracy theory that Musk was able to rig the election in some states (though I’m not sure even that would be prosecuted). But then Musk would also be incriminated.

        I think it’s more likely that there was a huge sum of money trump was going to get paid, that Musk had control of until the investigations into Musk and his companies got shut down and all the billions in government contracts to his companies were signed and delivered, then once trump finally got paid for the services rendered, he doesn’t need Musk anymore, so he’s out.

        The thing that was never considered by a lot of people who helped get trump in power for their own gain, both the first time and this time, is that once he’s in there he has the full power of the government to go after you if you don’t toe the line. He can ruin them financially and even put them in prison now. They forgot, trump never honors a deal. He’ll screw you over the minute you no longer have something he needs or can no longer threaten him.

      I was very confused by that, because in British English, “dew” sounds like “jew”, and it took me a moment to realise that it sounds like “do” in American English.

        I didn’t know that! Definitely did not mean it as “jew it”!! This was just the first version of the meme I found, I always thought of it as “do it.”
