Can someone inform this moron that illegals can't vote?

(23,554 posts)Ive been waiting for years to get rid of that thing. Elon has lost his mind, and I want no visible association with him. Im stuck using Starlink until something else is available, sadly, but I dont have to drive it in public!
On topic: since hes an immigrant himself, he should know better. Anyone here illegally cannot vote.

The only thing Eloon is a genius of is taking other people's ideas, along with government handouts, and parlaying them into shit-tons of money. On paper.

(5,280 posts)Projection is a defense mechanism. The project-or believes in their own essential innocence, iirc.
This is more like an "offense" mechanism. He knows he ain't innocent - just entitled.
We trust the space program to this guy? The sky ain't the limit.
And yes, it seems to be a common characteristic of our oligarchs to assume universal criminality. That's the ocean they swim in.

SpaceX had/has a whole layer of management to isolate him from the actual work.

(12,582 posts)There might be a few dumb enough to try to vote, but the thing that keeps voter fraud pretty low is the extremely poor risk/reward ratio.

(9,372 posts)where a good number of people live but are not incorporated into s city or town, allow them to form "special districts" such as fire districts an water districts with the authority to assess taxes to keep them running. I happen to live in one of each of those. Non-citizens may vote in special district elections if they own land in the district, alone or jointly. No taxation without representation, after all. But it would surprise me if someone not here legally would be allowed to vote even in these. If I were here illegally, I certainly would not try. I've read too much about ICE detention centers, razor wire, stuff like that.

Musk may be a citizen but he is also a foreigner messing with our democracy and foreign affairs.

In addition to this innate distrust, they do not want to raise their visibility and risk deportation.
