    One week ago, Elon musk tweeted "“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,”

    given his prominence and direct reference to assassinating Harris right before a shooting occurred, can he be legally linked to this assassination attempt?

      This isn’t an assassination attempt. Some loser shot out the windows of an empty building overnight.

        I’m not particular about how musk becomes an accessory, terrorism works too.

        Trump is a billionaire and was convicted on 34 counts.

        Epstein had 600 million and was convicted.

        musk loses legal battles regularly, maybe he’ll lose this one too if the matter is brought up.

          Yet only Epstein ever saw a cell. Probably because it was a convenient place for those he could testify against to stage a suicide.

            oh dang, you bought a $44 billion social media network also?

            you might want to avoid shouting that from the rooftops.

            Yep. These people are fine with Gestapo tactics, if those tactics are in service of their side. Imagine Trump rounding people up based on their tweets.
