How does the rest of your fantasy unfold, once Musk “confesses” that he “rigged” the 2024 election?

I have it on good authority that step 3 will be Trump’s arrest, followed by:

Step 4: tar & feathers
Step 5: deportation to Russia

Also, step 2 has seven question marks, not just five.

3) believed but nothing is done about it

Even if it did and even if it could be proven it would not invalidate the election. The constitution does not provide for a do over. The only thing that matters is the vote by the electors and the certification by congress.

Our only remedy would be impeachment and removal. Given how beholden the gop is to Trump that would likely fail.
