    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

    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?

    I mean, he’s kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it’s 99.9% blue and you once say something like “Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad” and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.

    Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he’s worried.

    And if this does happen, you’ll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.

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

    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.

    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.

    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??

      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.

    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.

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

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

      Why would he care? Trump is evidence that the rich and powerful never need to face any actual consequences. Even after being convicted of 43 felonies, the dude is running around free, campaigning for president with impunity and zero consequences.
