But you’ve totally lost the point that the ability for Musk to seize any individuals assets has been discussed. The lawsuits do not mention this potential for damage and the threat of this capability has not been discussed here at DU as is obvious from the responses to this thread. I suggest you take a break and relax and learn to be more civil in this time of cruelty. Have a good day, friend.

You haven't seen it discussed? Where have you been for the last week or so? Maru Kitteh Feb 2025 #8

Haven't seen any discussion that Musk could just seize bank assets, no Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #10

I'm not a dog so I don't fetch for anyone, but a minimum of effort should Maru Kitteh Feb 2025 #11

Plenty of discussion about Musk controlling payment. Next to ZERO on seizing individual finances. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #13

Even without Musk officials could always get into your account. Unlikely they'll do any of that now. But who knows with Silent Type Feb 2025 #12

That's the point. The gov't has always had this power. But it's in Musk's (and Trump's) hands now. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #16

Not worried, and I have a Hispanic last name and post a bunch of liberal stuff under my real name. If they do Silent Type Feb 2025 #20

I hope you are right. My mind is in darker places Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #21

How many times do we have to go through this? Cirsium Feb 2025 #39

Got any examples of them doing that or is it just fear? I understand the concern, but think we should focus on mid-terms Silent Type Feb 2025 #41

Sorry? Cirsium Feb 2025 #44

No, I'm asking if anyone has had their "finances seized" by trump or his henchmen, not COULD it happen. Silent Type Feb 2025 #48

Not really Cirsium Feb 2025 #58

Exactly claudette Feb 2025 #50

And Musk can do all that with ZERO consequences. dalton99a Feb 2025 #17

Lots of posts. Even me. usonian Feb 2025 #18

Sorry, that doesn't discuss Musk's ability to seize an individual's assets. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #19

what part of HE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS Skittles Feb 2025 #59

Access isn't seizure or ability to lock Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #61

WITH FASCIST FUCKS IT IS Skittles Feb 2025 #62

Can he seize private bank accounts and investments at firms that are not government sponsored? kimbutgar Feb 2025 #47

Yes. The gov't does this when seizing accounts that are suspected in Money Laundering operations. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #57
