    Oh please. Pathetic. This is the wet lettuce slap Musk was predicting.

    Queue a big song and dance about corrupt courts stifling free speech and manipulating elections. Great opportunity to splash headlines everywhere about a lottery whereby you can win $1m by voting for Trump, because he’s a very rich and very successful businessman.

    This whole shit show is cooked. There is no justice, honesty, or transparency. It’s just idiots pissing in each others pockets all the way down.
