There is no way in hell a billionaire in this oligarchy will ever come close to a felony conviction.

    Be fucking serious, there's no potential of jail here. In 2007 they gave Epstein a do-jail-from-home day release program for raping kids. He did jail from his home office.

    ...if you think they're going to give the world's richest man jail time, then you don't understand Capitalism.

    then you don’t understand Capitalism

    …and American "democracy" and their "constitution".

    I mean people seem to forget it was founded by a bunch of folks who were not driven by the fervour for the motherland or their fellow humans and their emancipation …. but they wanted "the freedom" (no no no, not the "freedom" freedom) but freedom from taxes, freedom to own and trade slaves, freedom to massacre the "native Americans" and entirely disenfranchise them (if somehow they escaped the massacres), freedom to make a capitalist world where the few rich literally and legally own the majority poor and middle class (via owning the resources and power) - so the American freedom! It's vastly different from what freedom is/was considered in the rest of the world.

    Yawn.

    Nothing. Ever. Happens.

    The rich live without consequences, and we get scraps of "he faces a threat", "he was slammed", "he falters", "he was put on notice", etc. These stories are designed to quell action by the populace by empty claims that action is already occurring. There is otherwise no real threat to any of these rich assholes.

    Donald Trump is an adjudicated serial rapist.

    He was booked Thursday, August 24 2023 at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia.

    He is inmate # P01135809.

    He is currently at large and considered dangerous. Hide your children.

    He has NOT served ANY jail time.

    SO...even if you can convict Elon...

    Do we have a single example of a billionaire who served time in prison (prison, not jail)?

    His cremation was contrary to traditional Jewish custom and his ashes went unclaimed by his family; as of 2023 his cremains are still in a lawyer's office.

    God damn, what a sad, pitiful ending. I bet most billionaires’ will end the same. Its like the poetic ending of a Scorsese movie… or a Better Call Saul episode 😂

    The filthy rich only face consequences if they harm other filthy rich assholes.

    His office must report within 40 days on any action it takes, although that deadline doesn’t require a final decision.

    The referral is not a criminal charge or a finding that Musk is guilty. But election bribery is a Class I felony in Wisconsin, punishable by up to three and a half years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

    I'm sure it does. Definitely real jail time on the table for him. For sure. No way around that. It's not like hundreds of billions of dollars can keep you out of jail. Bet he's super worried.

    Even if he's convicted, I expect zero consequences

    There's no such thing as justice in 'Murica
