On February 10th, a federal judge ordered Musk to cooperate in the SEC’s investigation, asserting that if a date and location for the interview couldn’t be agreed upon between the parties within a week then the decision would be made for them. That testimony has yet to take place
So tired of all these assholes never seeing any consequences for simple shit normal people would never get away with.
I’d love it if courts had the power to seriously enforce shit like this. Fail to meet a deadline that’s been agreed upon by all parties? Okay, then officers will arrest you and put you in jail until you do.
That’s just my immediate, angry reaction, though. It doesn’t solve the core problem, which is that rich people are above the law.
It was my understand that's exactly what they could do, and do. But yeah, rich people don't apply.
Show up for this legal proceeding
Lol suck my cock.
Can we revoke his government contracts now?
How bout we go straight to deporting this fraud
And nationalize his businesses
They essentially already are.
Tesla likely would not be selling cars if the government didn’t offer EV tax incentives.
SpaceX’s largest customer is the U.S Government.
Musk has torpedoed every other company he’s touched.
If the only reason you are in business is to sell things that the government is helping pay for, why are you even a business. He’s blown through his budget that NASA gave him for Starship and still doesn’t have a working product.
The Cybertruck Founders Edition doesn’t have the Self Driving feature that made it 20k more expensive, and has a real chance of being a fraud trial.
Why are we giving private companies boatloads of tax dollars to develop vaporware?
Nonononono. So long as those profits are going to private pockets, they are FAR from nationalized.
We only nationalize the losses.
Nah, SpaceX does good work for NASA. Instead nationalize Musk’s shares.
Like? So far they've just wasted billions of dollars and "rapidly disassembled" rockets using tax payer dollars
I know that development costs are mind boggling in scale, we’re looking at around $5B dollars so far on Starship, (and the government only paid for part of that).
But let’s put that into perspective, it was around $11B NASA spent on developing SLS, and SLS costs $2B per launch. So we’re still within comparable costs for development of a heavy lift vehicle.
Meanwhile, if I were to skip court for a jaywalking ticket, they'd put a warrant out for my arrest.
Not if you put a team of lawyers on it. That's the key difference here.
Can the judge not hold him in contempt?
He could, but Musk has "rich politically connected white guy immunity".
Times infinitely for being a hectobillionaire AND far right. He could murder a man on the white house lawn and Secret Service wouldn't arrest him.
You might be right, but they might not immediately recognize him. Depending on things… he could be dead before they do.
How many federalist society shit heels are there lurking in the judiciary trying to force vigilantism to occur instead of doing their fucking jobs
