The federal government is threatening to prosecute people who criticize Elon Musk.

This isn't any different than the stuff JD Vance was criticizing about Germany.

Besides obvious questions about the lack of a true threat, the Speech and Debate Clause protects Rep Garcia from any prosecution regardless.

Something that I'm sure will resonate with people assuming powers not allotted to them and violating contract terms with impunity. What's the saying? You can beat the charge, not the ride?

Can't criticize Elon but he can criticize you. He also has ALL of your information.

Not a criticism, but Elon Musk eats shit. #DOGE

Thought the Trump admin was claiming Musk wasn't a public official

He was clearly making a rhetorical analogy. This is repression, nothing more.

This letter will forever stain the department and Martin is dangerous. But this is not a threat to prosecute. It could conceivably have a chilling effect but I doubt it.

I seem to remember Elon calling a congressman a dick...

Here’s my view: I obviously disagree with some of Garcia’s words, but I don’t think silly congressional hearing activity should ruin a kid’s life.

What kids life is being ruined by a congressional hearing, and what does that have to do with the AD sending a letter to a sitting congressman because he said mean things about Elon Musk?

“Elon Musk is loser who pays real players to grind his account on games he doesn’t even know how to play.”

I'm not sure Vance made that comparison as a criticism.
