Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I don't want to kill Musk, but I'm not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.
Don't kill him. Just tax him like they would with a normal working person. That would throw him into a world of sufferung.
Let's compromise: Let him pay taxes first, and then treat him as the traitor he is.
fuck the taxes. just seize all his assets. everything 'he' owns is now government property, debt-free.
if the banks don't like it, they can do their part to never let this happen again.
I mean, that's what a government that existed for the people would have already done. so maybe we should stop relying on a fictional government to save us?
Seize all his assets and put them into funds for universal health care, social security, WIC, etc. Then not to be cruel, provide him with food and shelter like you would any living creature; however to get to the food each day, he has to walk down a street that is lined with people who can jeer, boo, spit and laugh at him (but fenced off so not allowed to do any violence), and daily footage is streamed online for viewing by those unable to attend.
Ah. Execution by suicide. Absolutely lovely. 🥰
again, I think when this stops being worth the entertainment value, it's okay to put him to the only genuinely pro-social use he'll ever have in a field somewhere.
If only we used civil asset forfeiture on this traitor.
crash his tesla stock, and he will pay tax on them. Make elon the freeloader of tax payer subsidies pay his taxes.
A traitor to whom? South Africa? He seems to be doing a fine job for his country. More room on the global stage for them with Murca out of the picture.
I don't even think he has a green card.
I think he's done enough damage and stolen enough from the american people that he deserves to hang.
It isn't just him. The whole oligarchy have understand that the guillotine is being prepared and that they are next.
Then maybe they will pretend to not be assholes, and thus save themselves.
i mean, he's already lost $200B net worth. If we keep at it, he will be in the gutter soon enough.
Put him to death for treason and tax his estate at 100% and absorb Space X into NASA.

If empathy’s a weakness then Karma is a bitch
Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn't have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.
I wish for him to be reborn as bee, so that when in anger he stings a person, he must remove his stinger himself in a desperate plea to survive or tear his innards out in the ultimate karma that would humble his soul.
Bees are pretty much the angels of the insect world... Harming no-one and nothing, and almost single-handedly holding up the ecosystem of a quarter of the planet's life forms.
He's got a long way to go to reach level bee.
Just every day some little misfortune to balance out karma like wet sleeves after washing hands, occasionally stepping into dog crap, marmalade toast falling on the floor upside down, a few paper cuts, stepping onto lego barefoot, mobile phone falling into toilet bowl and so on.
Whoa whoa whoa, wishing death upon someone is one thing, but wanting them to step on a lego barefoot? You're a monster.
but
Yeah, I don't want to do it, but it would be convenient if he did
