He is legit a complete fuckfing moron. You want 1 reason, and 1 reason only? He just got access to medicare and medicaid data, HIPAA is not something you fuck with, the fines alone could literally bankrupt musk at his all time richest point, which I think is now, the largest HIPAA breach I could quickly find was 113 thousand people. Cost 5.5 million in fines alone, and was sent to the DOJ for possible criminal charges... How many peoples information is in Medicare and Medicaid? All of them? Oh dear, musk can't afford what he is doing...

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.

I love your optimism here but what makes you so confident the DOJ are going to be able to do anything? I sadly think we're way past the point of expecting normal laws to apply to these assholes
He’s literally going to Mars
You would think he would have flown on one of his rockets by now.
There are quite a few hurdles left to clear before literally going to mars
As if building Zip2, PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX from scratch had no hurdles
I like how you say that like you know what they are lol
Musk is pretty normal for billionaires. Completely detached from reality, drunk on power and his own ego, convinced his every idea is divine inspiration, except the god is him.
This is the way. Elon Musk loves to lie about his IQ and pretend he’s smarter than he is. Trump’s favorite insult is ‘low IQ’. Find something that digs into their skin and make them throw a tantrum.
IQ measures whether you need more education for schooling it does not test your overall ability to think. You can have a high IQ and do a lot of stupid shit.
I bet that on top of wanting to be sure nothing that fElon is doing is disrupted or slowed down in any way, the qons didn't allow fElon to be brought in for questioning, because they don't want everyone to realize just how fucking stupid he really is.
fElon is a weird guy, but also not even half as intelligent as the carefully crafted myth he's made for himself.
Can you imagine the dipshit being grilled by members of Congress? The asshat wouldn't be able to play edgy edgelord dooooosssshbro in that venue. He'd just look like the childish idiot that he totally is. And the cons don't want to see the spell broken when it comes to the ridiculous myth of fElon.
Please, infamous hacker 4chan, come get your boy.
Can AOC run for president in the next election? Or is there some DNC blood oath that only shitty candidates can run?
According to an interview with her, the DNC runs strictly on seniority, so no
Wouldn't that make Bernie in charge at this point?
Only neoliberals can run
Yeah, Americans are notoriously love intelligent women, especially if they're not white.
I honestly think she has a real chance, TBH, although I can see the two cases where misogyny helped donvict into office....
I'm sure the cons and "liberal media" would do everything possible to paint her as the second coming of Karl Marx, though...even if most Americans actually agree with her policy positions on nearly everything, when you poll people on the issues.
But many Americans still think that Hillary (!) is some kind of radical leftist. Or that Obama is. Or that Biden is, or Kamala....after a while, trying to paint every single candidate as a Deep State radical Marxist fascist Communist socialist globalist (and every other stupid term they use with zero understanding of words) is going to wear off but still she has a HOOHAA is not white, so....
Hilary Clinton was the victim of a twenty plus year campaign to paint her as a bad choice for POTUS despite being one of the most qualified candidates in history.
The argument that the Butcher of Libya would have run the machinery of empire much more competently than Trump isn't an argument in her favor. I still wouldn't be able to bring myself to vote for Trump for harm reduction, but calling her qualified to hold a position which every holder in modern history has done things we hanged nazis for isn't the argument you think it is.
In a slightly saner world she would be nobrainer. Smart, young, active, has enormous support base. In current US political climate being smart and young is a disadvantage and being a woman is a political suicide, unless you're very, very conservative.
being smart and young is a disadvantage
I'm not so sure, Obama overcame being Bla, 2x, and part of that was due to him being smart (and young), I'm sure.
He.
Let's run another old white moderate
Dems won the election last time they did that.
Oh my god.
If they can actually win, then: fuck yeah.

Yea she could, but pelosi will never let her pass. As long as pelosi and her "democrats" friends are around the dnc you won't see any bernie or aoc in control or any action leaning left.
The bitch is swimming in money since trump got elected.
