    32 seems like an awfully small number of texts.

    Admittedly it does depend on what key words they are looking for.

    But this is the kind of stuff McElon could go to prison for. So one would hope he complied.

        It’s possible.

        https://www.forbes.com/sites/nataliesachmechi/2020/01/25/behind-bars-billionaires-and-ex-billionaires-who-have-served-time/

        Could now be updated with Elizabeth Holmes and soon with SBF.

          I’m thinking we need to keep the streak alive.

          Just those last two stole money from Billionaires, so that’s why their own class turned their backs.

          Not sure about the others.

          Holmes is a new-money huckster who cheated old money out of their money. Big difference between her and musk in the eyes of the law.

            True, but that doesn’t cover the other people in the article.

      Having done discovery requests before, we try to only include things specifically scoped in the request.

    🤣 🤣 🤣

    The company did not want to hand over the messages because of a court order that prevented it from telling the former president about the warrant, and there were concerns that Mr Trump might try and use executive privilege to block it.

    I would love to know what sort of tantrum Musk threw over this.

    Politics aside, those are some ugly motherfuckers. It’s like they had a fire at a wax museum. If you pushed their faces in dough, you could make cookies that are stale even before you cook them.

    bad angle shot: can we talk about how many people engaged in what they absolutely knew was a criminal conspiracy and specifically communicated in a way that left a paper trail. I’m wondering if they’re “I didn’t know facebook could see my posts” stupid or if at least one of them was “I might be able to use these to leverage a plea deal later” smart.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
