"Contrary to what they're trying to say, most immigrants....

"Contrary to what they're trying to say, most immigrants, the overwhelming majority of immigrants are not engaged in criminal acgtivity. They are not burning things down and taking what doesn't belong to them. They are not living as freeloaders on the dole of the government. Most immigrants are not like Elon Musk."

~Senator Raphael Warnock in a speech at an Ossoff rally.

That lying cheating stealing conniving asshole needs to spend several decades in a max security penitentiary for what he has done to our country. Then he can be evicted.

Muskrat was a rich Mfer who came here to make more money off of stupid American people. Nothing in his biography shows he was a hard worker pulling himself up by the bootstraps He even brought himself a pseudo presidency.

I absolutely hate that bootstraps bs term.

not criminal nor are they engaged in criminal activity. But, it's been my experience, although limited and anecdotal, a good number of them are bigots.

There is probably not another country in the world where someone could get so rich as Musk has in America. Musk's fortune was made by hard working people spending their money to buy his products and services. He has also gotten rich off of the taxpayers in this country. Now he is destroying our government and threatening the lives of tens of millions of elderly and disabled people. Where is the gratitude to America, the only nation where he could have made his fortune?

I never really disapproved of Musk before I knew who he really was. I have nothing against the idea of electric cars or rocket ships. I did not pay much attention to Musk until he bought Twitter and it started to become clear to me that the man was some sort of rich idiot. The final nail in the coffin was when he Sieg Heiled at the Inauguration. This malevolent idiot needs to be stopped.

Jaimie Raskin has suggested that we could sue Musk for violating federal computer privacy laws and abusing our data. I would like to see Musk charged criminally at some point, but suing him and taking away a big chunk of his fortune would be poetic justice. Hit him where he lives, in the bank account. Sort of how right wing madman Alex Jones was sued over his Sandy Hook lies. Anyway, Musk has got to go.
