Why Elon Musk Fought a Federal Search Warrant to Help Trump
Twitter, owned by Musk, fought for months for the right to tell Trump about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for his account.

I've said this before, but Musk just never grew beyond adolescence. [Tesla models S3XY! 42069 amirite! Ligma! Tesla fart noises! hahahahaha!] Which is a real problem because he was raised as a socially-ignorant rich white boy in full-apartheid South Africa.

The main reason is destroying evidence. This is a guy that would literally eat memos and flush paperwork down the toilet while in the white house.
I’ve been convinced for a while now that if Trump felt he was actually headed to jail his last desperate act would be to try to flee to North Korea to hide behind his crazy bestie Kim (who would absolutely love the drama of having an ex-POTUS as his puppet to parade around and try to shame the US with).
I wonder why the prosecution team thought that was a "mistake", or if it was intentionally included and then retracted? Maybe it's standard language?
Not a lawyer but lawyers write draft arguments and then choose the ones they think are the best. It's possible they put the flight risk argument in a draft but ultimately decided to remove it, but then sent it out before actually removing it.

The "standard language" thing sounds right to me. A lot of court filings templates and attorneys just plug in the facts for their particular submission.
Which unfortunately reminds me of Mad Libs, and now this is all getting pretty absurd in my head
There is a lot to hate in that pic.
Crazy how coke and aderall make these 2 morons believe they should get to decide what direction the planet spin.
Why people worship idiots born in wealth will always be beyond me. If any of you ever suffered imposter symdrome, think of this picture in the thumbnail.
And ketamine. Don't forget the ketamine.
At least Musk had some actual accomplishments. Crazy to watch him literally lose his mind in real time, though.
What accomplishments? Man's bought his way into almost everything he's celebrated for.
Shit birds of a feather shit together.
Shitwinds
The shit apples don’t fall far from the shit tree
Because Elon Musk is just Donald Trump with business sense. I get roasted every time I say this, but I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
Not sure Elon has that either. Both morons.
Elon Musk is a lottery winner in the business world.
Is ketamine the new cocaine?
Lol, Musk has had his bad ideas shot down since he tried to rename PayPal to "X". He was just lucky enough to buy valuable companies and have capable people stop him from ruining them with his terrible ideas.
I honestly think if you gave a random person a billion dollars and told them to buy a company to run they could do just as well as Musk
I disagree
I think the vast majority of people, if given a billion dollar company, would try to remain as hands off as possible. Don't rock the boat, just take the paycheck.
The problem is that Emerald Apartheid doesn't need twitter or whatever to succeed. Even if the entirety of the 44 billion USD twitter deal were to be taken out of his tesla/spacex stock and flushed down the toilet: he still has billions (google says 150-ish but those valuations would change as stock prices change) left to never have to work another day in his life.
Have you ever said "keep the change" while paying with cash or put down a larger tip than you otherwise would have because you didn't have exact change (... and weren't using a credit card for some reason)? That is the level at which this is.
And it is why any attempts to understand batshit insane billionaires through "normal" logic just don't work
Not roasting, but don't really agree. I mean, look at what's left of twitter. He was never directly controlling Tesla and certainly not SpaceX, just had the money, practiced bullshit artistry, and made specific orders if it suited him.
I can almost certainly thank him for the ability to make my car fart from my phone, but that's about it.*
*Disclaimer: Comment author (hereby "jerkface") fully acknowledges jerkface has no insider experience in the Tesla product pipeline, and jerkface carries hopeful bias in that Musk has very little to do with the success of Tesla in order to assuage jerkface's emotional guilt for loving the absolute shit out of jerkface's Model 3 Performance because it's awesome.
Edit-crap, no superscript with ^ I guess.
"Twitter went to court because it wanted to tell Trump about the request despite the court-ordered secrecy."
Musk told him. I guarantee it.
tl;dr musk is a free speech absolutist? I don't really see an why in this article.
Anybody that says they're a "free speech absolutionist" is just dog whistling that they're a fascist who is only interested in hearing what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is usually Nazi shit mixed with any number of unpopular Right Wing talking points.
Also parroting Kremlin talking points
