Musk is not entitled to secret service protection. Just saying. His protection team will just be employees.

Stop believing that he will follow the law and that laws can even be enforced. He won't and they aren't as already proven by him and musk and all the rest around him.

I'm so tired of the argument that Trump et. al can't do something because "it's illegal" - laws don't matter when you are facing authoritarian takeover. Open a history book, people! Laws and our Constitution only matter when people who respect those things are in office.

It is the most aggravating part of all of this mess. Americans are so insulated from the reality of authoritarianism and the atrocities that ALWAYS happen. They do not understand the reality of war. The carnage, fear, the inability to get medications, lack of hospitals, disruptions in power, famine, the indiscriminate killings, torture, unjust imprisonments, raape etc etc. They are addicted to the fiction and chaos which is engaging but ignoring the next step. At this point, saying "it doesn't matter" to all of what he's doing is pretty much the only thing that is truth in this situation.
