Good luck with that. The rich aren't beholden by laws.

Well they have to pay for their crimes, and unlike the rest of us, they can afford to. But it's always worth it to do something to set a precedent and go after them.

All while crying about political persecution... They can never "break the law" because no laws apply to them. When they do break a law it isn't consequences they face, it's "persecution for being the political opposition."

It's so fucking disgusting what they've done to "objective reality..."

Isn't this, like, ideal for him? He gets the publicity, gets the additional registrations for Trump, doesn't have to pay, and gets to blame the government for not paying? If I was Elon I would be enthusiastically cheering for Pennsylvania to win.
