      This billionaire’s legal troubles are because Elon’s decisions have impacts on all of us.

          Twitter is still guffawed upon by the media. He owns a rocket company actively launching payloads into space and has interfered with Ukraine defense operations. He’s wasting the court’s time with his money. There is an impact.

              At the time of the incident the program was paid for by the US government and he decided to switch off access at a tactical moment.

                It’s wild to find someone simping for musk and then also linking to 4chan like 4 comments down in their profile. It’s not unexpected, but it’s also not heartwarming

                  It’s always fun to see how people respond when they discover that some users on this site don’t automatically conform to the community-mandated opinions.

                  Oh man, this guy doesn’t want to crucify Elon like the rest of us. Let’s dig through his profile like a teenage girl trying to learn about her high school crush.

                  I’m flattered, really.

                Well I’m not particularly fond of us giving away free shit on the taxpayer’s dime either.

        So let’s put Trump’s legal problems in the tech community as well, because it impacts on all of us and he owns some companies that do tech.

        Elon isn’t technology. You can make a case that some of his companies are, but just because they can be argued as tech companies doesn’t make this tech news.

    Any normal person would at some point be arrested. Stop coddling billionaire babies like Elon and get it done already.

    Seems simple enough. He refuses, find him guilty, take control of any assets in the United States, and deport him. I don’t see the issue.

    I mean, this strategy of attacking people who try to hold him accountable has more or less worked for Trump so far (I’ll believe the justice system works when I see him behind bars) so why not. Musk is just another Trump really.
