What was the name of that CEO the feds put in prison allegedly because he refused to let any of the alphabet agencies hook directly into the network?

If Kamala/Walz win, their first move will be to ban Xitter and arrest Elon Musk

Woah (Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based!)

Billionaires are truly the most persecuted.

Won't anyone think of the billionaires?!

If a Democratic president is willing and able to arrest him immediately why haven't they done it in the past three years? Does he think Biden is a bastion of free speech in the party?

I say like I don't know it's because it's just baseless scaremongering not aimed at people who will put a modicum of critical thought into it

Or he thinks that Harris especially hates him for some reason. I've never heard her even mention him.

Elon Musk vs Kamala Harris:

I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?

It's Harris/Walz. Just because she is a woman doesn't mean she doesn't have a last name.

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't Obama his first name???

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't this 2024? Isn't that a different ticket? Aren't they different people?

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I can explain the joke for you if you don't get it.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

Damn people didn't get it or something lol

[–] sazey@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

He wish he were that important to be on top of some revenge list.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Why would she even be thinking about him on her first day? Who does he think he is? He's just a weird man with too much money.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago

Persecution complex.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago

God, Harris should make that a campaign ad. Vote for me and I'll arrest Elon Musk. Fastest way to earn my vote in the history of mankind.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 11 points 21 hours ago

Cocaine makes you think some crazy shit.

He would love to be able to say X was shutdown, sounds muuuuuch better than X ran out of money because he ran it into the ground.

He tried to do the same suing the advertisers who boycotted him. It wasn't about the lawsuit, it was about having something to point at when it collapsed.

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

I'm going to vote even harder

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 71 points 1 day ago

God I wish those two were half as cool as these clowns say they are

[–] niucllos@lemm.ee 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As if the Kamala/Waltz ticket isn't an extension of the current administration, why would they wait?

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But the deep sta... No, the demonrats want to force trans... Wait wait, I had something for this...

THEY'RE EATING TAYLOR SWIFT!!

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Could it be that he's making the calculation that if Kamala's elected, Tesla will be fine anyways, but if Trump gets elected, everything helping electric car makers will go to shits except Tesla, because of his nauseating brown nosing?

Or is his brain just shit and rot? Was it always, or what happened??

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He's worried about his government contracts being pulled with space X and them coming after him for tax revenue so he pays his fair share.

[–] Tidesphere@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This just reads to me like he did something super illegal, and his only hope to avoid arrest is a Trump win.
