From your own, obviously slanted, article:

Quote
The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

So the inspection began when Musk was just a Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink guy and was centered on how the Ukraine government was using Starlink and how USAID was monitoring usage ?

How about the incessant investigations into HRC that turned up nothing at all?  No indictments. Nothing. Did that push you toward her?

Trump was found liable for sexual assault.

A CEO of one of his companies did time for tax evasion?

He was convicted of multiple counts for concealing hush money bribes as legal expenses.

He was indicted on several counts related to election fraud,  Jan 6, and stealing classified documents. Ironically, he even kept classified documents in a bathroom.

There was more.

Convictions are meaningless. We want mostly baseless accusations!
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

I'd be curious as to when, if ever, Mn cited a source that wasn't right-leaning.

'Elon Musk’s companies have repeatedly run afoul of federal worker safety rules and other labor laws. Now, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency team has set its sights on the Department of Labor tasked with enforcing those rules."

Hillary wasn’t around long enough I suppose.

I don’t believe Trump is liable for the actions of each of his employees.

You present the Trump legal stuff like it was in any way good faith prosecution. The hush money trial was over the top political, and he was tried by a jury of political enemies. Would never have happened if he weren’t planning to run for President again.

He spent most of his life as a Democrat, was thought pretty highly of by many on the left, and didn’t have much for legal issues until he ran for President as a Republican. Tulsi, RFK, and especially Elon have gotten the same treatment.

Former Democrats fled the sinking ship, are now in charge of the US, and current loser Democrats are big mad about it because they’re coming after their cash cows and sacred institutions. OF COURSE they’re going to try to get them thrown in jail!

Oh Jesus, this guy thinks Trump was framed. Yep, definite “moderate!”

bottom line

This shithead, built a pretty decent Electric Car company, and is now ceding the entire future of that market to the Chinese by destroying his brand with his neurodivergent weirdness.

He's a pox. Fuck him.

I’ll give Murph AOTC credit, he actually turned on Elon before he went MAGA.
