Even if he could, Musk would have to accept the pardon which involves admitting his guilt.
A pardon means punishment is waived. You have to be punished before a pardon applies, and you have to be found guilty before you can be punished. So the only way to avoid the trial is to plead guilty/no contest.
A pardon is not immunity, immunity means you cannot be tried so the question of guilt is forever left unanswered.
Yeah these things are Rorschach amplifiers. It tells you a lot about the person writing the prompt.
What are people still doing on the Internet? There are Nazis on the Internet.
Do you know how bars get filled with Nazis? Someone notices a Nazi and someone shrieks that everyone’s a Nazi and people leave and let the Nazis take over. It’s fighting the Nazis that keep the Nazis at bay, not running away from them.

Generally if it should be easy to find and you’re reading a shitty article, it can be easily found in believable sources.
I’m 99.9% certain the article is talking about ex-FBI agent Johnathan Buma. There are many articles about him, but I wasn’t aware of it (been tuning a lot of news out lately, tbh). All details match and he was very recently interviewed by ZDF (significant legit German news organization) for a new investigational documentary about Elon Musk. I posted it in a different comment that has video of some parts of the interview (English with German dubbed over top). There’s also a link to the full documentary. I started watching it but haven’t finished.
Well in the interim I found someone spamming the same text on Linkedin. In another comment they’re linking to a ZDF interview with Buma from the 12th so it’s probably about that.

So odd that a lawsuit and bail is mentioned and yet no actual details. A variety of advocates and etc are supposedly outraged and up in arms etc. And yet no deets. Almost as if some website with Kiev in the domain might be spewing bullshit against Russia. Definitely doesn’t smell like desperate LLM bullshit.
It’s still up 55% vs one year ago. Yeah it’s fallen from its post-election run up which peaked around the new year, but frankly it just looks like it’s gone back to pre-election value and trend.
Haven’t they already decided the President can have Seal Team Six or whatever take any of us out?
I suppose Congress might entertain removing him but that won’t get far after Senators are bum-rushed into El Salvadorian prisons due to a most regrettable administrative error.
Would literally buy an electric VW Beetle at this point for the lulz
Doist is very much remote work and there were a lot of stories about them and how they operate during the pandemic because they had been doing it for so long. Global headquarters are in Portugal and CEO lives/works from Italy from what I can tell. They have offices/legal presence in many countries.
Founder/CEO was born in Bosnia, grew up in Denmark, started todoist during college, used a startup incubator in Chile, later moved headquarters to Portugal, now gives lots of talks about internet entrepreneurship in EU.
How do you go on strike against a government if you are not a government employee? And what would it even mean to boycott your own government?
What sorts of direct action do you think could be viable?
So what do you expect anyone to do about it? Sure, journalists can write and write.
All we have is voting and that is off the table until 2026. If it still exists.
I don’t mean to be rude but the call to action of this article is nothing more than “be afraid”. Being afraid doesn’t stop this.
After O’Connor died, there was a discussion on The Political Junkie podcast where they were talking about her autobiography and in particular, about Bush vs Gore and what they were actually thinking about that case. And it had more to do with the whole maze of where things go depending on which contingencies (i.e. what cases happen next between Bush and Gore).
So according to her it was more about the structure of the laws and government than the decision itself. Which I don’t think is something that Cannon is dealing with. Cannons is a trial court judge. The questions at the Supreme Court are more about structure and function of the government.
I thought it was really interesting how Trump is a weird corner case because he’s never held any offices listed. Almost all other presidents have taken the oath prior to being sworn in as president for one of the offices explicitly listed.
According to him, it frees him to vote his conscience since it relieves him of needing to suck party cock. Murkowsky has also been threatening to leave the GOP caucus.
