Just. Arrest. Him.

Just before Musk's event in Green Bay tonight, the WI Supreme Court unanimously declined to bar him from handing out $1 million payments to voters

It has long been clear that the criminal law in the United States doesn't apply to rich people. This would be an excellent opportunity to change that.

graemeedgeler.bsky.social•3 days ago

That really does seem like the obvious solution. I do not know whether Wisconsin law makes this criminal, but it seems difficult to believe that Wisconsin law would make it illegal in a way where you sue to stop it but it not be criminal. If they believe it's illegal, arrest and prosecute.

tcrowley.bsky.social•3 days ago

A jail cell is the best he can hope for at this point. Because the alternative is he keeps screwing with people, until one of his victims inevitably has a total breakdown and domes him.

Then legal system will have the audacity to label *that* person a terrorist 🤦‍♂️

tcrowley.bsky.social•3 days ago

He knows it too. S'why he wears a Kevlar vest, and moved into the white house. Also started carrying that kid around the week Thompson got gacked.

Dude knows he's hurting people, and just doesn't care. He's in charge now, and the thing that upsets him most is that no one is praising him for it.

sbwriter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, the WI S Ct didn't rule on the merits, so you could certain arrest him.

I mean, the rich of the past were just smart enough not to say their crimes out loud, and so long as said crimes were fucking the poor--and not other rich people--the state absolutely didn't lift a finger to oppose them... This isn't new, this is business as usual just out in the open.

I disagree. If he had followed through with his initial tweet, he’d clearly be committing a felony. After he listened to counsel and walked it back, a criminal violation became murky at best. Not a popular opinion here, but I’ve practiced criminal defense in Wisco for a long time.

spencerwindes.bsky.social•3 days ago

If the Attorney General of Wisconsin had handcuffed Musk personally, standing on the runway in front of his private jet, he would have been the next presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.

saridder.bsky.social•3 days ago

From what I understand, only police can arrest. He could file charges and have a judge issue an arrest warrant, but don't they usually need a grand jury to even do that?

d9sinc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nah, he'd be denounced by 99% of the democratic officials, but actual humans would like him.

spencerwindes.bsky.social•3 days ago

You mean the life forms who vote in primaries? My point exactly.

corrodias.bsky.social•3 days ago

To my deep regret, the people who vote in primaries still prefer liberals over anything left of that. Voters don't want to disrupt the power structure.

spencerwindes.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nobody will give a shit whether he considers himself a liberal or a leftist or a Kierkegaardian existentialist. The first public official to start arresting criminal billionaires will dominate the next generation of the Democratic Party.

nobodyiseveryone.bsky.social•3 days ago

True. The rich win even when they lose in civil and political Impeachment courts. They never get arrested or investigated for prosecution of "white collar crimes". They should just drop the "collar crimes" part. That just means whoever sues as extortion and settles avoids criminal charges. $ wins.

davidmenschel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you happen to know who would bring this criminal prosecution? Can the AG do it? Must a local DA do it? Which one?

publica.bsky.social•3 days ago

Conceivably any DA in the state could prosecute. Although the event at which the reward was to be handed out was in Green Bay, the financial offer was made to the entire state, i.e., to every resident in every county, and residents from all counties could attend.

clastevenson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Looks like the local DA. WIAGs are limited by statutory authority. Quick Look’s shows Wis Stat 12.11 is the alleged crime, 12.60 says these are prosecuted under 11.1401(2), and that limits it to the DA

nordicnate.bsky.social•3 days ago

given that DAs seem to be able to find any reason, justified or not, to charge any black person for any crime whatsoever, i'm surprised they can't figure this one out! weird!

asidleymackie.bsky.social•3 days ago

The AG could have commenced a criminal case for this at the request of the governor under Wis. Stat. 165.25(1)(m), no? See also 2008 WL 10716318 (Wis.A.G.).

clastevenson.bsky.social•3 days ago

I believe that the local prosecution component in 12.60 was added post 2008 with other changes that were made (eliminating the Government Accountability Board). 165.25(1) works, generally, when there is no limit/explicit authority. I’m not sure it’s ever been tested though.

clastevenson.bsky.social•3 days ago

I suspect the explicit delegation to the local DA would control over the general authority to initiate prosecutions at the Gov’s request. However, it’s not settled law.

wheystandard.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seems like every DA in Wisconsin could charge it.

ericcolumbus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, because the crime is the offer, and the offer was made to everyone in the state

adrianwashere.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can they all charge it? Can he be tried in every county in the state for the same crime? Or only one of them?

asherlangton.bsky.social•3 days ago

And if Musk cancelled his trip to Wisconsin, he'd have still committed a state crime, right? Even if he never specified which county the payoff would occur in?

wheystandard.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, he still made the offer to every eligible voter in Wisconsin.

That's a little different because that constitutes prior restraint, which is not constitutional.
