No hope for this and after Obama refused to do anything about Bush era torturers I side-eye anyone who does.
I hope they live in fear for the rest of their miserable lives.
I’m guessing none of them got Federal Employee Professional Liability Insurance. Oh dear, what a shame …
Musk had not been just their visionary leader. For them, he was their protector: the man who had a direct line to Trump, who they believed could pick up the phone and secure a presidential pardon if the worst came.
Now, that seems not to be a quote from somebody involved, but a quote from Politico, but with that in mind…
What kind of person does something with the expectation that they might need a pardon? Only people who think they might be committing a crime. You know, criminals.
And I would argue that if they were committing crimes with the expectation that Musk would secure them pardons from Trump, that is describing a conspiracy that includes Musk himself. (As well as Trump, but it wouldn’t be possible to charge him with that, given a recent Supreme Court ruling.)
If I was the next president, I’d have everybody from DOGE on federal charges as soon as was feasible, including Musk… Although given Trump’s health, the next president will likely be Vance. I wonder what the odds makers put on Vance being the next president.
Ah, but they’ve already claimed that Musk wasn’t part of DOGE and he’ll claim that the employees were making assumptions and he never said such a thing. And he’d probably be correct; Musk is much better than Trump at weasel wording things.
Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a meticulous investigation though.
I don’t doubt that Musk is better than Trump at any sort of intellectual pursuit, but that’s only because Trump is that much of a dumbass. I mean, Musk seems to be able to read at a reasonably adult level.
Musk frequently says and does quite stupid things that involve him or his companies in legal peril. He’s famous for over-promising and under-delivering, and not via weasel words, but being specific. I think he gets away with it more from having good lawyers than from him acting any more intelligently than the average person.
Like Mueller or Garland? 😟
You fear prosecution most when you’ve done something illegal.
Get fucked, traitors
a senior DOGE figure named Donald Park tried to reassure his colleagues that they were still ‘brothers in arms’ and that Musk would continue to protect them.That led to another protesting and advising, “Guys, seriously get your own lawyer if you need it. Elon’s great, but you need to watch your own back.”
“Guys have you tried being a rich billionaire who can buy your own way out of trouble? Now get back to work.”
And who’s going to prosecute them? The Democrats? Don’t make me laugh. As was the case in the last Democrat term, they’ll just nurse their thumbs with their assholes for years, then maybe half-ass an attempt at getting some low-hanging fruit when the public voices become too loud to ignore, and achieve a whole lot of nothing.
I truly hope I’m wrong about this.
DOGE members are no different from ICE, they impart violence upon the innocent through bureaucracy. Both DOGE and ICE should put to trial at Nuremburg 2.0 as a class, and then anyone found on the books in their employ, executed.
These people are willfully evil, and are torchbearers of the Confederates. They shouldn’t be allowed to raise future generations that carry on their beliefs.
Cue the Clerks Death Star II argument.
It would be nice if they were prosecuted, as one of their DOGE members leaked the Social Security numbers in plaintext for every malicious actor to take advantage of. All because they were a stupid, brash fool that thought they could do something and not get caught. 🙄🤬
Oh, no.
Anyway…
I’m pretty sure the leopards won’t eat the faces of the DOGE employees. Musk said so on his personal website!
/s
oh no. you mean a billionaire is only out for himself and doesn’t have your back?? COLOUR ME SHOCKED!
Trillionaire
Musk is such an insufferable asshole that his body would not miss his head if it was cut off.
