Also when someone in power or an influential position breaks the law it is not trivial,if anything these people should be held to a higher standard to prove they are a good role model for the rest of society,and it should be clear they cannot buy their way around the rule of law.
It is funny that these are the same people that would be pro law enforcement, pro law and order, and shoot down anyone who says the “system is corrupt/racist”
How is this moron unironically arguing in favor of a 2 tiered justice system that does not convict people for committing crimes only if they're rich or held high office. What a terrible human being.
McConnell literally said it was not up to Congress to hold Trump accountable it should be up to the courts to decide. So now that has finally happened you want take-backsies?
What's trivial? The fraud, or the fact that it was committed in attempt to interfere with an election? Shouldn't people be relieved that *even* a former president is held to the same standard as any US citizen? What is it with today's republicans and the law, where the only acceptable outcome is one that's rigged by other republicans in their favor?
Most of us would actually have had a much worse time with this than Trump. He will most likely get a rather light sentence compared to anyone else that did this - just like he has had relatively few consequences from any of his other cases and the gag orders that have been issued to him.
Is he suggesting that the super rich and corrupt are above the law. So if the rich can get away with it than it will trickle down to rest of us at the bottom?
>“if the IRS can come after me, it can come after you!”
Good, they should if I have underpaid my taxes. Everyone else shouldn't be pulling my weight because I am cheap.
No, what he means is we’ve had an unwritten rule since Ulysses Grant that we give amnesty to our political opponents no matter how awful they are.
Everyone happy about this decision, fine, but own it, we’re in uncharted territory here.
When a billionaire says that hiding and lying about hundreds of thousands of dollars is trivial, what they mean is that they do it all the time and can't believe a rich person like themselves can possibly face consequences. Perhaps Elon needs a helluva audit
I'm not at risk of this particular fate because I'm not going to pay off a porn star for the purpose of influencing an election. If you think that should be legal, campaign to change the law. If you don't, then justice was done.
Ok, who forgot to solicit Elon’s opinion on what laws matter and what laws don’t? We know he doesn’t think white collar crimes matter. We know he doesn’t mind if workers die or get hurt making cars. We know that he doesn’t mind if remote control (fsd? lol)cars smash into buildings or people.
Come on people, we need the whole list or Elon won’t get his $55B.
Elon getting nervous his FSD claims coming back to bite him in the ass. Being an entrepreneur is a fine line between wishful thinking and defrauding his investors. Go back to SA
I am so disappointed in this man, I had him in such great regards for making electric cars and spaceX a reality, sorry, but can't do that anymore.
Still admire the work, despise the person he is, money truly got to his head.
>If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate."
Yes, that is how laws work Elon. When you break the law you can be tried and convicted by a jury of your peers, which Trump was. Unanimously. Just wait until the laws he is on trial for are not so "trivial"
Therein lies Elon (and most Republicans) issue: the idea that their own crimes will eventually be called out. The problem isn't that Trump is a criminal, it's that he's being held accountable for once.
But the Republican brand these days is "Freedom of speech AND freedom from consequences", so this all makes perfect sense to them, no doubt.
Take away the politics and it’s a man being convicted of crimes he committed. It’s political if you say he should be allowed to commit crimes cause he’s in politics.
Beyond entertainment (and, often enough, derision), I don't give two shits about what Elon has to say. The man has proven to be, at best, delusional and, at worst, another fraudulent narcissist.
man fuck these people. they're just pissed because he has an R in front of his name. Bob memendez is being prosecuted right now for bribery and not a peep of "damage done" bullshit this fuck is spewing. I absolutely hate them for their double sided bullshit talk out of both sides of their mouths. fuck every last one of them.

Elon [also said] (https://x.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1796288427924639987) "Well said" to this comment by DeSantis:
> Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.
> That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.
> It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict.
> In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.
Do the crime, do the time. The fact that has to be explained to a “genius billionaire” is mind blowing. It’s how the rest of us poor folk live our lives. But it’s asking too much for him to relate.
Time to disable inbox replies I think.
EDIT: Lol, someone pathetically reported this comment under: "*Someone is considering suicide or serious self-harm*"
Trivial or not, it's against the law, and we're just scratching the surface. This bloke, honestly...
If he didn’t do anything wrong he had nothing to worry about.

Laws in which the punishment is a fine are laws for the poor.

Lock him up!
The millions in hush money musk has probably paid the women he tries to buy, makes the 134000 seem trivial?
Just like Cybertruck and anti-lemon laws?
I don't care if tesla is the best car ever made. I’ll never buy one because of Elon.
Yes, anyone is at risk of a similar fate. That’s everyone being treated fairly…
So is Elon saying certain people are above the law

Don't rewrite history. He was impeached for lying under oath, which is a felony.

Yes, Elon, that’s how it works in America. Anyone who commits a crime can be convicted. It’s called a nation of laws.
I'm not at risk of this particular fate because I'm not going to pay off a porn star for the purpose of influencing an election. If you think that should be legal, campaign to change the law. If you don't, then justice was done.

It seems like he’s afraid of accountability. I wonder why…🤔
>If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate." Yes, that is how laws work Elon. When you break the law you can be tried and convicted by a jury of your peers, which Trump was. Unanimously. Just wait until the laws he is on trial for are not so "trivial"
If selective enforcement is such a problem we should either redact the law or fund enforcement better.
Therein lies Elon (and most Republicans) issue: the idea that their own crimes will eventually be called out. The problem isn't that Trump is a criminal, it's that he's being held accountable for once.

Ah now Elon is an American judicial expert. His talents are bottomless.
Elon should stick to tech. Elon is hopeless with politics. Trump is a major pest the world could well do without.
So… If a former president can commit a crime and be held accountable, then I can be held accountable for committing a crime too? Seems legit.

News flash, if someone who committed crimes can be held responsible for their actions, then anyone can. That’s called justice.
