Summary
Democrats Stansbury and Raskin introduced the “Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act,” which targets Elon Musk’s dismantling of federal services through the DOGE cost-cutting scheme.
It seeks personal liability for Musk, amid lawsuits and concerns over sensitive data access.
The proposal aims to protect taxpayers and critical federal operations against unauthorized actions.
Ok, sure, but wouldn’t he just get a pardon? Isn’t this why the duo of the world’s richest man and the most corrupt(able) president so perfectly sinister? Feels bad man
You can’t pardon away a law. They’re seeking liability not criminal punishment and conviction.
It’s not really intended to cause Musk harm, but to force Republicans to explicitly vote for musks continued assholery
You say that as though it’ll cause even a second of hesitation from those shitstains to enthusiastically vote for musk’s continued assholery…
And? So what? It’s important to make them vote because the alternative is letting them get away without stating their position. Then when the elections roll around they just claim they never supported the unpopular shit they did. Don’t let them memory hole their abuses in real time.
Having a paper trail that they did so will be important if we ever regain control of our country. I want every receipt of every action to be a matter of national history data.
A President can pardon federal criminal convictions. He can’t erase civil liability if people personally sue Musk.
