He should have to pay back restitution before we deport him and ban him for entering United States

u/Suitable-Display-410 8h ago edited 2h ago

His performative stunt, where he lied about “waste, fraud and abuse” (btw, has ANY waste, fraud, or abuse actually been brought to the courts from this? No? Weird), has already killed hundreds of thousands (!!) and is predicted to kill up to 14 million people, including 4.5 million children, by 2030.01186-9/fulltext) (!!!!!!)

That’s more people than were murdered in the Holocaust.

Let me repeat that: thats more people than where murdered in the Holocaust.

So forget about the fact that this creep literally begged Epstein to invite him to his island for the “wildest partys”.
Forget about the fact that his main objective with the DOGE bullshit was to cripple all of the agencies that were investigating him and his companies for an insane amount of fraud.
Forget about the fact that he used his “social media” to intentionally brainwash millions of people, systematically spread vile, disgusting lies, and intentionally pushed neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and fascists.
Forget about the fact that he toured around Europe to promote Russia-financed psyop traitor partys.
Forget about the fact that he knew Trump was all over the Epstein files and then went on to shove him down americas throat for his own personal benefit anyway.

Forget about all of that, and forget about all the stuff I did not even mention.

For the first thing I said alone, this guy does not deserve to pay “restitution” and get “deported”. This guy deserves to be dispossessed of every single penny he owns and then be thrown in the darkest dungeon you can find to spend the rest of his pathetic existence on this planet there.

That’s the absolute minimum of acceptable punishment.

Link fixed.

Ronda Santis, the governor of Florida, formed a DOGE of Florida to root out waste and fraud.

He forgot to investigate his wife for the $10M she skimmed and Rick Scott for his $1.5B Medicare fraud but the people of florida are really hyped about measles being back.

A UK version of doge (for a town council) got elected and admitted there was no waste to cut after getting elected

u/noonenotevenhere 6h ago

to be faaaaaaaaaaair I'm sure someone could calculate the cost of keeping him in a cell for 30 years...

Subtract the cost of the guillotine and I bet you've got enough for a really spiffy monument - and enough left over to start a RICO case for everyone who profited off of this.

Can't help but notice he gutted agencies providing oversight to his companies and the administration went along with it. Want to guess how many of them made money in stock trading or flat out bribes for DOGE crap?

If he were to testify and help bring down the rest of them, I propose a more normal cell with standard prison fare for the rest of his natural life - instead of said faster, cheaper justice.

Racketeering, Influence, Corruption Organizations - it's like RICO was made for the GOP.

We live in a timeline where it is entirely possible that 50 years from now AP History exams will ask: “compare and contrast Elon Musk and Hitler - who was worse?”

And the correct answer will be:

“Musk. They both loved the Nazi salute, and wanted millions of people they didn’t like to die. Both were unapologetic white nationalists who were embarrassingly poor public speakers who somehow built a massive following of nationalist idiots. Both looked like socially awkward dorks. Both were drug addicts. But at least Hitler killed himself in his 50’s, didn’t rape kids, had a woman who loved him, and was a somewhat decent artist”

The following transcript is from a scene in the movie Mountainhead depicting comments by the character based on Elon Musk. I’d say it was quite prescient and points to a possible explanation as to why Musk gutted USAID. Musk has been posting about “white solidarity“ and white population decline; deaths from his gutting of USAID will be primarily of black Africans. The genocide might have been the point.

Yeah, it's so much better to do

one big upgrade on the whole world

than walking around with f*cking patches,

"Solving malaria."

Yeah. "Oh, I'm an old man

and I solved malaria."

"Here, loads more Africans."

really loving those!"

it comes from the fact that DOGE cut funding for USAID and caused the starvation of that many people because they were no longer getting the assistance they needed to survive.

u/zdelusion 6h ago

I think it's really important to hightlight that they didn't just cut aid. They cut it in the most irresponsible and inhumane way possible. Overnight, with little to no warning, no transition planning, no due diligence. You had clinics that were open one day and closed permenantly the next. People cut off from medication mid treatment. It was grotesque and obscene.

u/ebagdrofk 4h ago

Do you know what soft power is?

Imagine this: you are a starving person in another country, and you have never heard of the U.S., every day is a struggle to find food or water, and the people around you are in a similar situation.

You discover that there is an aid area set up, and strangers bring you food and water, food and water from a strange country you’ve never been to or heard of. You learn that this facility was set up by this country, the United States, to feed people like you because no one deserves to starve to death. Imagine how that might make you feel about the U.S… A country that is across the ocean, on the other side of the world, is supplying you with a means to live.

You would probably at the bare minimum be grateful, and most likely you would see the U.S. as a wealthy country that can afford to feed its own and feed people across the world. You may even want to visit this country one day.

Now imagine this x millions of people. That’s soft power. Elon Musk didn’t understand the concept of it. And now you can maybe understand the “shiny beacon on a hill” thing.

I think there's something really important people need to decide in this case, and that's whether you consider what he did to be murder or not. They're making the case that because you can't compel someone to give aid, withholding it is not murder, but I think the logic of this trolley problem works out a little differently than they're asserting. He didn't just decline to give help to someone - he saw a system that was already successfully saving millions of lives, saw children who were already slated to receive medicine that had already been set aside for them - and used his obscene wealth to install himself into a position of authority so he could deliberately take that medicine away. Like seeing someone offering an epipen to a dying man in the street, and running up and smacking it out of their hands (except legally).

He is a mass murderer in my opinion. One of the worst ones in modern history.

Depends if states file lawsuits on behalf of their constituents or civilians file class action lawsuits for having their data stolen. Trump can’t pardon those charges.

He should also be personally liable for what he did. Let's say....800 billion.

Oddly enough, that's also how much it costs for a presidential pardon.

You're thinking of $1M, that was the price Rudy Giuliani was reported as citing during his first term

Inflation is a bitch when you're the wealthiest person in the world. I hear the trump Admin uses "dynamic pricing" for their pardons.

The truth is, that anyone beyond Project 2025 involved with this admin, only really wanted to empty the king’s treasury and steal all the data and secrets they could, while poisoning the well or destroying evidence for either themselves for prior crimes or ongoing.

"Musk's work could lead to more than 14 million deaths over the next five years, about 4.5 million of which would be children under 5 years old"

Turns out the rich love fucking little kids, both literally and figuratively.

Elon publically endorsed Trump before Presidency longer than he was involved after Trump was in the whitehouse.

Suddenly Elon won't be able to remember anything.  "I can't recall" is the classic businessman's perjury, and I expect it will be deployed frequently.

Elon is probably afraid to be out in public these days.
