If this isn't already illegal, it should be...
What pisses me off is that search algorithms are so broken now that if I do a search on the legality of petition bribery, all I get is more news articles about Musk bribing people! Which, I guess, is pretty telling in and of itself...
It's only illegal for you and me.
Elon literally committed election fraud. Openly. With a fucking press conference.
Hasn't been charged.
He’s also balls deep in a government that is obsessed with deporting immigrants.
Elon himself was an undocumented immigrant for years, as he violated the terms of and overstayed his student visa.
Genuine question though. If the ultra wealthy use loans against their stocks for cash, does this not violate the terms of one of or all of the loans he uses?
The last time I got a personal loan from my bank, it stipulated that use of the money for any illegal purposes would result in the immediate termination of my loan. Does any financial institution have the balls to enforce this boilerplate clause in elons case?
It is definitely illegal. It will definitely not be prosecuted.
Pardoned so fast it would make your head spin. What law?
"Illegal"... hm... now that's a word I haven't heard for a long time.
At this point, you gotta use AI that can search the web to shovel through the crap. Weird time to be alive from every angle.
