I think Musk has at least

one more bombshell. He hasn't used up all his ammo. He's got something saved back for the worst thing trump can do to him, which is probably deportation.

He's a rich man. and anywhere there's a bank, there's a way to prevail. I think he knows where his $300 million went. I think he has evidence. It is interesting that he wants trump impeached. For that you have to have evidence to persuade Repubs.

I just think that while trump is working on silly name calling insults, musk is working on whatever else he's got. This is so embarrassing in front of the world, but it has been, well, interesting to say the least. I'm still not sure it isn't all fake.

Against existing GOP members. Trump doesn't have that type of money plus Trump isn't running.

One might surmise that data on Trump, his kin, and a whole lotta politicians is probably in Elon's hot little hands.

Drug addled and not as bright as advertised, Elon has always seemed to take advantage of information on others to make his Elon World more fun for Elon. If I were Trump or any number of GOP pols, I would probably be a carrier of that 'very concerned' virus Susan Collins is always bringing up.

to gain blanket immunity. His problem would be how to get the deal together around Repub objections. Someone would have to authorize this, and we are still the minority. Who would he set it up with?

If I were him, and I had proof that would topple trump's regime, I'd hide out somewhere--like Canada--and have them broker the deal. If we saw a special committee being formed by Dems, that would be a clue. They would probably have to survey Repubs quietly, to see what they are thinking. But, I can't quite see how he could get his immunity without consent of the majority. After all, DOJ is in trump's pocket.

I dunno. But, I don't think he has used up his resources yet. Unless it's all fake. I'm tending to think now that perhaps it's real because of the Epstein papers. Sooner or later MSM is going to be yelling for the release of the papers, like he said he would do. Question is, who else is in there with him?

How does musk know what's in the papers?

Was his wealth.

How long can that last now? He has alienated everyone in the US on the left and now right. He has the rest of the world boycotting him.

He was literally depending on corrupt government contracts and support from Trump and that is probably gone now. Not only that, he has put spaceX in danger.

If he doesn’t have something major lined up he is cooked and his fortune is going to start shrinking.

And he deserves it. I just hope he causes Trump major damage as he goes down in flames.
