Merrick Garland: Would you mind stopping breaking the law, pretty please?

Musk: Fuck you, go to hell.

Merrick Garland: Sorry, my bad, carry on.

Elon Musk's pro-Trump super PAC has resumed awarding $1 million to registered voters—this time in Michigan and Wisconsin—despite having been warned by DOJ that this is likely a violation of the law.

Maybe it's me but we shouldn't grant political appointments as a consolation prize idk

Hey when you have a chance to hire a warm sack of yogurt you can’t pass that up

He'd probably be even worse as a SCOTUS justice.

We needed a wartime consigliere and we got a substitute teacher instead.

victoriadecapua.bsky.social•122 days ago

The image looks fake.

numb.comfortab.ly•122 days ago

The tweets are real though

victoriadecapua.bsky.social•122 days ago

He’s baiting. He’s using a false image so he can buy his way out of the felony by doing some minor mischief. He thinks he’s doing a propaganda psy op and that he’s being clever by telling an obvious lie.

don't know about the photos, but Forbes is reporting that giveaway has resumed, also

That's a bold move, let's see if it works out for him.

jetteuk.bsky.social•122 days ago

could the "winners" be liable for prosecution? if it can be proved they took the payout with intent to vote as Musk requested?

lorez.social•121 days ago

According to LegalEagle, yes! The winners would be charged with similar offenses and face fines and/or jail.

kvetcherforever.bsky.social•121 days ago

Merrick Garland has been a disgrace. I hope that if #Harris is elected, she appoints an AG who will be relentless in pursuing ALL lawbreakers--especially politicians--instead of giving them a pass.

Jesus H. jumped-up Christ in a rocket-propelled sidecar, fucking cuff him and drag him to a jail cell.

thinkingcatboi.bsky.social•121 days ago

I'm hoping Musk gets the full Charlie Chaplin Deportion as he goes to Davos then is refused re-entry hopefully on a private plane

dantethek9.bsky.social•122 days ago

Harris could secure a decent number of votes by pledging to fire his ass on day one.

biz5th.bsky.social•122 days ago

Would casting Elon Musk as a martyr be a good thing at this minute? The right wing press (pretty much all of it) would be on Musk's side and we would see the Streisand Effect in action.

toxicaudri.bsky.social•121 days ago

So? Why do we fucking care what fascists think?

itskrev.bsky.social•122 days ago

Since this is perfectly okay and legal to do I am now accepting $50,000 to vote for Kamala Harris DM me for Venmo

ditsy.bsky.social•121 days ago

The doj defanged itself long, long ago. It’s not intimidating, it’s embarrassing.

danielsand.bsky.social•122 days ago

Whatever eventual trial that results from this will be incredibly interesting when we find out that every one of the $$$$$ recipients was an America PAC employee or friend/family of an employee.

lenecolbert.bsky.social•121 days ago

I can’t imagine being the American who’s willing to accept this money. Even if I were deadass broke, I don’t think I’d ever say “Fuck democracy, I’ll sell my vote for a million bucks!”

God damn it, used to be even *Republicans* would be against this sort of shit.

Or am I misremembering?

delrider.bsky.social•121 days ago

"Here's your check, now we'll just get a photo...."
The hell you say. I'm not your prop. Give the check and GTFO. Tell anyone you gave it to me and I'll have you giving me even more. BTW: Harris 2024! Bitches!

delrider.bsky.social•121 days ago

Yep, no way this could backfire in unpredictable ways.
"Hey Bert, look! I just got me a million dollar check! Sure sucks you didn't get one. Want to take a ride in my new truck?"
From what I've read, lottery winnings turn out to be not so good for winners amongst friends and family.

unclecracker.bsky.social•121 days ago

Garland? How about a fucking press conference? You treasonous Pussy!

jonswift.bsky.social•121 days ago

I (again):

1. Am reminded that Elon himself is an immigrant
2. Wouldn’t mind one bit if he and Rupert were deported.

gregbester.bsky.social•122 days ago

I'm sure he would have stood up to Alito on the Supreme.

laminx.bsky.social•122 days ago

He needs his citizenship revoked. 😏

mementomori4950.bsky.social•122 days ago

Exactly 💯

chiles101.bsky.social•119 days ago

“Would you mind stopping *possibly* breaking the law, pretty please?” because if only Garland was in a position to know what the law is. :throwshandsinthefuckingairatthispoint:
