Elon Musk's Super PAC committed federal election fraud in the last US election.

@GossiTheDog Surely not.

@GossiTheDog

Not surprised.... But will there be any kind of consequences?

Or are they free to repeat it next round as long as they say they're sorry....?

[hhf@chaos.social]

@baardhaveland @GossiTheDog the consequences are a reprimand letter. That’ll teach him!

@GossiTheDog The apathy I see in reactions to stories like this one is exactly what the oligarchs want. They want us to be resigned, exhausted, and inert.

Fuck that. Get mad. Make a sign. Stand on a street corner. Join a protest. Apathy and cynicism are the tools of our would-be oppressors.

The courts may or may not hold them accountable someday. But we can make their lives hell right the fuck now.

I dream of a world where every billionaire's lunch comes with a sneaky side of spit.

@human3500 @GossiTheDog didn’t even need to add the “in Georgia” to it. It’s easily provable in Georgia but they didn’t just commit it there.

@GossiTheDog
Ah I see. They are going to 'issue a formal letter of reprimand'. That will show him! If he ever does this again, they will for sure craft a strongly worded formal letter of reprimand then.

@GossiTheDog Somehow this instance of a dubiously legal immigrant meddling in american elections will not elicit a brownshirt surge...

@GossiTheDog if he were democrat they would have said otherwise, funnily enough

@GossiTheDog

“a formal letter of reprimand”

… that’ll stop them for sure …

[admin@mastodon.slightlycyberpunk.com]

@GossiTheDog Ohh, they're sending him a *letter*! I'm sure that will discourage anyone from doing such a thing in the future!

@GossiTheDog Question in light of this: if Musk were charged (unlikely, but possible), would it be at the state level since states run the election process (and thus be unpardonable) or would it be at the federal level since it was a federal election (and he could end up pardoned by you-know-who)?

@GossiTheDog
From the article:

"Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected."

A formal letter of reprimand???? What feckless cowards. The state election board are complicit. Accomplices.

A real investigation would, IMHO, find that the 2024 election was stolen in the "swing" states.

@GossiTheDog a "letter of reprimand"?!- Musk will be shaking in his boots
