Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Elon Musk is committing a lot of felonies. He belongs in jail, and so do his criminal associates. He may not comprehend that. And if and when he does it may make him more reckless. No assumptions about where we go from here.
