yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah thats a normal people punishment.
Well said . Clickbait fantasy.
Maybe there's a lesson there about not allowing individuals to amass that sort of power.
Just make him live out of the embassy
Yeah, South African embassy will probably get some nice upgrades
Win - win ?
We could take SpaceX from him. The United States has enough guns to make that happen.

Filthy rich, white. He gets the wag of the finger treatment and nothing worse. Just like Trump.
In this specific case? It comes down to a civil servant getting paid 80k a year. If they get his case file for review and they flag it then the government starts doing it's thing. Of course it will end up in court but a normal court can't do much about it. Which is how Elon's bestest buddies set it up. And once it's on his file that he lied in order to gain citizenship or residency he's straight up barred.
In other words, if he lied then it will take a literal act of congress to save his citizenship.
I appreciate the wisdom of your words, but the past few years have planted me squarely in the camp of "I'll see it when I believe it" when it comes to any sort of consequence for powerful, wealthy Republicans.
Oh yeah, there's always the possibility that despite the numerous articles on it the government just ignores him.
"Uhhhh we seem to have lost his file..."
You guys understand that even the immigration system is pay-to-win, right? Regardless of what happens, I don't think Elon will have any issues.
Exactly. He would just reapply under the category of "director of a company" or as "individual of extraordinary abilities".
“individual of extraordinary abilities”
No, you are not allowed to lie in immigration application forms, it says so right in the title!
While I don't disagree at all, even in many of these instances lying to immigration officials is a fast track to being denied entry ever again.
Obviously, Musk is going to get back in, but as a political pawn, kicking Musk out of the country being a legitimate option must be absolutely incredible.
Isn't that cute? They think that laws apply to billionaires.
But liberty and justice is in the brainwash pledge that the kids have to do every day. It can't be a lie can it?
Without straight up ignoring the law in this case, which State Department is more than capable of doing, it's really not a different law.
I'm actually not a cynic, an attitude mostly lazy and unthinking, but straight up ignoring conventions and laws is what the right has normalised.
Trump didn't go to jail for Jan 6th, and never will. The paycheck mob did tho.
"Go out there and fight like hell".
Yeah. Court couldn’t even issue a warrant today after he didn’t bother to show up. Wake me up when rich people face consequences.
That will only be when we The People start doing something about it.
Wake me up when the rest of the masses have the balls to go on a general strike to halt the economy until our demands of basic human rights are met.
The majority of people are still too comfortable, stupid, weak, afraid, brainwashed, and complacent to do anything at all, let alone something that would actually make a real impact.
The moment all of us peasants collectively go on strike is the moment the government and billionaires start losing. Simple.
But again, generally, people are too selfish to share others' suffering even if it ment a better world for everyone.
And that is the peaceful option that the masses are too complicit to even try...
Elon “could” grow a nipple on his forehead.
Yeah the "could" is doing a lot of work for that headline.
I think the "if" is doing a lot of work too
A very good point. Just speculating for the hell of it.
I think he should. He'd be much more interesting that way.
Heeeyyy I doubt it!
Deport the illegals! Confiscate their illicit gains!
Remember all those headlines saying things like 'Trump could be found guilty of violating emoluments clause?" Yeah, put this in the same bucket.
That would explain partly why he's supporting Trump now.
Trump may have threatened to enforce it unless he complied
Nothing's much gonna to happen to him... why?
First off, cuz he's a big "entrepreuner", a pro-western foreign policy guy, and a reactionary, which U.S always welcomes for their support of "freedom" and western civilization
Second, cuz he's a settler, he has citizenships in Canada and South Africa, to rely on, if the others fail
Narrator: He won't
Elmo Muskrat SHOULD have his US citizenship revoked.
Send him to Africa. Freeze the bank accounts. Donate them to unions.
SHOULD. We all know he won't
Thanks to Obama, Elon is theus governments special boy that can do what he wants
Don't threaten us with a good time.
Please god.
Remove his wealth too, it was achieved through illegality.
All I want for Christmas, is this~
"could" is the most revealing word in this context.
