no dipshit, he shut down federal investigations while leading doge. a private individual being given the ability to shut down investigations into his companies is clearly something that needs to be investigated
"we shouldn't persecute our political enemies" of course, but you are being obtuse if you think what happened to letitia james is similar to what is happening here. it's a bit different when he donates enough to take over the federal government to protect his businesses and secure contracts
there is actual criminality here. they are pursuing accountability. musk shut down federal investigations into his operations while at DOGE. at the very least picking these investigations back up would plain old accountability, and if he's innocent he has nothing to worry about. However, since those have been closed, he has committed other acts, like shutting down starlink in Ukraine to assist a russian bombing campaign, that likely constitute crimes, perhaps even treason.

there is absolutely nothing even remotely true about this. please focus on his real issues like being responsible for the deaths of 14 million people instead of making things up
Starshield exists specifically for this. The US loses money for every Starshield satellite that orbits on-station without any allies using it. It is a literal waste of taxpayer money not giving Ukraine access.
yeah they may frame it as "uncontrolled migration" but given recent events like the Bo French tweet about Indian Americans, "uncontrolled migration" appears to be more of a euphemism for non-white people becoming more present in American society. Hence the desire to roll back a pluralistic democracy and install an ethnonationalist authoritarian that will privilege a certain class of people and punish others. This is at least the animus behind the MAGA core
As for swing voters, they really just wanted inflation to get under control. So they didn't even trade away their rights for DEI or migration control, just inflation. A bit disconcerting to see that people will so easily give away the very rights that people fought decades to have.
ultimately someone or a group of people need to be held criminally accountable for this crime. it is on the magnitude of the my lai massacre and there should be justice for the victims
Militaries are very rarely held to account for actions taken that end up causing civilian deaths. At the end if the day international law is extremely toothless, and trying to define laws for how war can be fought feels similar to watching the Patriot and wondering why the hell anyone agreed to stand in a line and take turns shooting at each other.
There is no justice. And Iran will probably blow up some innocent civillians in response the opportunity arrives, instead of targeting the actual culprits.
There's a lot of room between "no consequence for anyone" and "Trump gets to the Hague because of that".
If I remember correctly, some of the people responsible for torturing iraqui prisonniers did get sentenced. They were definitely scapegoats of larger organisations. But if the "lampistes" get caught, this may have _some_ effects on otherw potential _lampistes_.
Palantie execs will be fine, of course. I'm.not expecting them to grow a conscience at this stage. So they will shrug it off, and go on with creating shareholders value. Until they're sacked by their board for not meeting some quotas, and have to live with _less money_ - which is the closest thing to the seventh circle of hell for those person, anyway.
