He won’t. And there wont be any consequences.

However, it’s important to remember that at the end of the day, Elon Musk is just animate meat.

He's animate meat with enormous social influence

But still, meat can be ground.

When enough people have been hungry for their share.

Sure there will be. Here’s your fine for $50,000 Mr. Musk. I hope you’ve learned your lesson!

50'000 is to 1 trillion what 5 cents is to 1 million. Just so you know how absurdly little 50 thousand is for someone so wealthy.

He's a trillionaire, nothing will happen.

Being a trillionaire can't stop bullets.

Is he still? I thought SpaceX came down enough that he isn't anymore.

Raiderkev@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 47d

It went down slightly, and for now, he's barely not one. He still has an obscene amount of wealth either way.

According to the lawsuits, voters were encouraged to sign a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution after being told $1 million winners would be selected "randomly," similar to a lottery.

The plaintiffs allege the giveaway was not random and cite a statement by one of Musk's lawyers that the 18 winners were chosen because they "might be good spokespeople for America PAC."

This is absolutely the party that is going to drain the swamp! /s

they went harder on luigi than this, stop asking them to testify, charge them with the actual crime. they know they dont really want to charge these people, because they know the public attention is on them,.

Nevermind that roundabout bribes/incentives for votes should be illegal anyway.

It is a deposition. It won't take place in a courtroom.

Did anyone mention a courtroom?
