If this arrest doesn’t happen, democracy is one step closer to the grave.
A lot of shit has happened to destroy democracy so far (has anyone been keeping a list?), but if billionaires see that they can now buy votes, nothing will stop them from doing it over and over again. We will be Russia.
I’m at the point where I know he won’t face consequences because he’s rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.
and its becoming blatant and bold
Muskrat isn’t doing this for any other reason other than to test and expand the boundaries. It’s challenging the American people … if he can go this far and allowed to get away with it, then it will become the norm. The fault won’t be that he is doing it … the fault will be the American people who put up with this crap.
I’ve given up on trying to understand dumb American politicians … I’m completely disillusioned and lost hope in the American people.
It’s not a small group of billionaires that will destroy democracy in America … it will be an entire nation of people who just stand aside and watch everything burn without saying or doing a thing about it.
If this arrest doesn’t happen, democracy is one step closer to the grave.
Worry not, most Americans are bravely waiting until they have no options left and literally living in squalor before considering any action
In the last 8+ years I have seen the goal post for action moved so many times, I have lost all hope Americans will actually do something for themselves
I guess you won’t make fun of French people anymore
Why not just take the money and vote dem anyway?
He can’t be arrested, he owns the country
Need more Luigi
The difference between luigi and whoever kills Musk is that the person who kills Musk will have had a possitive impact
Whoever killed that Deathcare CEO had a positive impact, then billionaires spent a lot of time and money to try to turn the narrative. Note there were a lot of conservatives that werent against it until they watched a week and a half of propaganda to find out what they believed again. I think it showed a few people that the healthcare system is flawed, and clearly the justice system is. Was it 300 million, no. Was it 3 million, maybe. Even if 1% learned something from it, I’d say that’s huge for a population this late in the capitalism game
UHC is as shit today as it was before. Even their aneasthesia coverage changes was basically the day after meaning they already planned the reversal beforehand.
The Republicans who appreciate Luigi are still going to vote against fixing Healthcare next election. Nobody learned any lessons.
That wasn’t even UHC 😂
I hope you get better
I hope you get better at trolling lmao
Lmfao, private healthcare shill. I can’t wait for you to get a bankrupting medical bill, magat
Political action time and time again is proven to expand socialized healthcare, forces insurance companies to be competitive.
Luigi in the only test ever accomplished nothing and will never accomplish again because he is going to prison and nobody else is dumb enough to take up the mantle.
You’re misguided for thinking murder worship opposes the injustices in healthcare industry.
It’s not murder to kill private sector health insurance ceos, it’s self defense. These people decide to kill people every day by denying claims and bankrupting people with poor coverage. Healthcare is a right, not something only for the wealthy. If insurance companies would stop focusing on profit, they wouldn’t be getting shot at.
You can consider me misguided, but I don’t value your opinion—your opinion isn’t fact.
Even the UHC, probably rhe worst company in the US not including health sharing ministries, is a net positive compared to no health insurance. The large majority of claims get approved, wealth gets redistributed to cover those who need it.
If people don’t want companies making massive profit of off peoples’ sickness and debts then there is a political party with that stance. But the US en masse keeps choosing suffering, choosing to create CEOs like Brian.
You have to be fucking kidding me 😂
net positive compared to no health insurance
Let me stop you right there. Health insurance is a blight on humanity. They do NOT provide healthcare. We have invented the need for insurance, the need for an intermediary who does not have medical expertise or training to be involved in decisions about healthcare. This is not a net positive in any way. A single denied claim makes it a negative. The millions of deaths caused by insurance companies were largely preventable. For everyone keeping score at home, that does appear to me to be what we call a “net negative”, unless they provide some incredible benefit that somehow wipes that all away.
If people don’t want companies making massive profit of off peoples’ sickness and debts then there is a political party with that stance

What a fucking heartless statement of victim blaming. You appear to have no intersectional understanding, and no awareness of the actual reality faced by a large majority of USians.
You’re disconnected from humanity.
The reason private health care exists is because of greed. Most of the world has moved on to socialized healthcare of some sort. Americans have been programmed their whole lives to say “something is better than nothing.”
You’re blaming the people for not having better politicians? Which people? The people 60 years ago, who really are the ones that set the course we are on?
And you call me misguided? Who guided you into apathetically accepting that greed is the norm?
Americans…why are you just allowing this to happen to your country, like what’s it going to take for you people to actually do something?
Most people in US just stare at their phone all day so they’re probably fucked
The TikTok plan from China worked.
The bread and circuses plan from Rome worked.
Might get interesting when DOGE removes the bread for a lot of people.
I would say it started with mass adoption of iPhone. When I go to states I’m amazed that literally everyone is just looking at their phone, big headphones on, hood up, XXL sweatpants. It’s like human interaction ain’t allowed anymore lmao
We’re pretty conditioned to obey. Like, you can be a rebel and insult people or be racist or sexist or “anti-social,” but you go to work and pay your bills. We’re also, mostly, in debt up to our eyeballs the stress of which gives a powerful myopia. Average Americans are way poorer than tv would have you think.
Thirty percent of the population doesn’t even bother to vote as they’ve basically given up, maybe for one of the reasons above or maybe because the government has little to do with day to day life, or maybe something else.
There’s also like a third of the population that is super happy about these developments. It the most amazing thing to have a king again and get back to how things are supposed to be.
There’s also a sort of general American optimism that is super persistent: if you do good, then it’ll be ok. We’re hyper individualized. Do the best you can with what you have. Don’t put anyone out, or depend on anyone else.
Unfortunately, things will have to get a lot worse to motivate us.
We’re slaves living paycheck to paycheck and nobody cares about each other.
This system will collapse before we hold rich white men accountable
This take is so boring. There are protests and even direct action all across the States. We’re just getting started. You need to change your media sources if you’re not hearing about what’s going on.
I was surprised by the number of people who showed up to my local Tesla dealership to protest. It hurts his pocket book indirectly, but it’s something.
@Eruanna @Elkot I’ve been following the #TeslaTakedown stuff with interest - some of the protests seem to be enormous. Hopefully it is inviting people to dip their toe in the water, meet some fellow pissed off people, start organising, be visibly against what’s happening… It all matters.
I’ll express from someone living in a red state. The fuck am I going to do? I’m over half a thousand miles away from the state he’s fucking with, and he’s probably not there most of the time and again thousands of miles over, with all the power of money to get him wherever the fuck he wants to go vs my little car.
So build up support. A third of this country voted for this, and a third of this country sat out. So you’ve got a third that’s actively angry about this, but scattered literal thousands of miles across the country. Kinda hard to gather to this. Sure we gather to protest but this administration isn’t going to give two shits about it, this entire situation is proving that. But gathering and protesting IS the power we have so we’re doing that. Unfortunately the cameras aren’t on that because the people supporting this are the ones with the media.
As someone put it, most of us are slaves to our paychecks, living on the barest margin of survivability, and that’s been the way for decades. Y’all get to see the chest thumping “America is the greatest place!” but lets be honest, most of us are so disaffected that what we’re watching is the horror of a monster taking over, but the country we were raised in and told to love there will be very little sadness when its gone, just sadness for how evil it will become. But that living paycheck to paycheck means in order for me to go somewhere where I can maybe put up resistance because right now I’m surrounded by people who support this… and these are the people who have been arming up in ready for a war for years… would be to uproot completely, and even the bluest of blue states would happily let me die in a gutter if I don’t have job. So either I stay and support people who will be hurt when it gets worse, or I become at best a martyr, or at worst, another statistic that the news may not even bother reporting.
The answers will vary, but why are we allowing this to happen? I’ll say my answer, some of us have been fighting this for years, over a decade since the Tea Party got mad that a black man was president, have been struggling to change the trajectory of this ship away from the iceberg. But I’ve seen the people of my country as a whole grab the wheel, lock the door and say it’s their god given right to drive into the iceberg. So at this point in the analogy I’m just gathering life preservers and making sure people have them on even as many of them will tell me the ship is unsinkable.
Easier if the country was the size of something like France. But when you have to clear a thousand miles just to arrive at the halfway point in the US. It’s hard to show massive protests.
This is not an arrest warrant or anything. It’s a Democrat politician saying he should be arrested
I hate “news” like this… It’s a waste of time.
One person on Twitter saying something turns into “Twitter says…”
Politician say x in normal pointless conversation and it turns into “democrats/politicians say…”
And people feverishly eat it up.
Our society is fucked.
I think the people should boycott all headlines with slams in the title. Unless it’s about professional wrestling.
Seriously though. Weasel words. If journalists adopted even 20% of Wikipedia’s manual of style, news would improve by orders of magnitude.
Seriously, who would arrest a billionaire? It seems like he has a suit of armor made of money that everyone won’t touch. If anyone else walked into the federal agencies and did what he did, they would have been arrested.
Someone who cares about the laws… Fuck this bullshit… Fuck the guy… Fuck the taxes on the normal people being a minor inconvenience for the rich… Equal fucking rights… The only outlet people have for their anger is to protest a company hes the face of… And they are trying to make that into a crime…
It’s been 3 months and this is how far we have fallen…
This country has a lot of issues and it’s… Not just the deep seeded racism or sexist roots
We need exercise our second amendment and the citizens need to arrest
Elon Musk, Donald Trump, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Clarence Thomas, Big Balls and associated hacker coup, Peter Theil, Tulsi Gabbard, John Roberts, Jared Kushner, Steve Miller, Brett Kavanaugh and all January 6th rioters
I think that would be a good start
His money is SO dirty that he can’t even GIVE it away.
He could give it away. But giving it away implies that you get nothing in return. He’s trying to buy things illegally with it.
This!
Then aggressively review his widely known to be fraudulently obtained American citizenship, seize his American assets including his companies, and send him back to South Africa.
No. Life in prison in Florence ADmax.
Give him a bunch of tattoos and send him to CECOT.
send him back to South Africa
Venezuela might also be nice at this time of year.
What about that El Salvador prison Trump was so proud of?
A billionaire is never going to suffer a real consequence in America. That’s why we’re so screwed in the first place
Luigi will always be in our hearts.
Throw the dirty immigrant deep in an El Salvadoran prison. Fucking dirtbag. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
This situation has killed democracy in the world, showing it’s worst downside: It’s ability to self destroy.
IDK if it killed democracy because it can fail. Almost all systems of government have failed.
The only one that hadn’t (yet) is democracy.
Not sure why anyone would be surprised that democracy has a best before date…
That’s literally not true. It’s true in America, so far, but plenty of democratically elected leaders have become dictators.
Hitler comes to mind.
Fucking do it already. His approval ratings are pretty low right now (billionaire approval ratings, fucking gross), so I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
Hope this isn’t wishful thinking. Trump thinks his son is a l33t hacker for being able to turn a laptop on. Musk on the other hand owns a major social media platform and has access to skilled technicians and programmers, as well as huge server farms which he doubtless uses to analyse voter behaviour and find the weak points where efforts should be focused in order to have most impact on electoral choices.
Trump certainly understands how essential to the disinfo effort Musk is, even though it’s way beyond the grasp of your average MAGA. IMO Trump is not going to abandon Musk in a hurry.
They’ll defend him because if he goes to prison that is now a can of worms they cannot close, the slippery slope they fear the most is society actually putting these people in prison
Arrest Of Elon Musk For Felony Vote Buying
YES! FINALLY!
Demanded In Wisconsin
Dude, don’t tease me like that
Ugh I had the same rollercoaster read
drumpf can’t pardon state felonies, and wisconsin can have musk extradited from any other state….
this has teeth, but of course, he’ll just bribe and blackmail the right people and the prosecutors will decide although a law was broken, it’s best not to prosecute because musk is too cute or some bullshit….
at any rate, it’s pretty good….
State law. Rrump can’t pardon it away.
Let me know when he’s actually arrested and charged.
Won’t happen. While I think all this institutional resistance is good. All of the lawsuits and judge rulings should only be seen as a way meant to delay. Fascism is here. You don’t unravel it using the existing institutions and systems.
Delay and prepare. Learn who all your neighbors are. Make sure you can contact all of them quickly and that they can contact you. Your neighbors and your coworkers are who you should be organizing with. Talk to them. Find out who might be a target by ICE. Find out which one of them you can’t trust. And of course. Arm yourself.
Elons not getting arrested but we don’t have to let them arrest us either. If there is no justice for Elon we can’t allow anymore injustice to us.
My neighbors literally called my landlord because I let my homeless cousin who lives in his van stay at my house because he had a stroke and they thought he was getting high in his van when he was just smoking cigarettes and sleeping.
I’m unemployed.
Feel like this title should’ve been Wisconsin Demands Arrest of… Because holy shit my heart skipped a beat to think something might change :(
