This falls into the category of "dumb, but constitutional."

It's not "Musk's coup". It's Trump's. And yes, it is a coup against the deep state.

The progressives already used the "Russian operative" line for 4 years (I've had fun asking democrats about that now … is he no longer a Russian operative all of a sudden….). The woke brigade has decided Musk is the new target and have issued a command to its idiotic followers to lower the Ukrainian flag and to champion the "Musk is a fascist" cause now.

About the criminalizing of internet threats like the OP, there is a fine line between an actual threat and just an exercise in free speech. Lots of calls here to arrest or worse the people posting threats against Elon's team, but how often have the same posters here called for hangings and firing squads for guys like Fauci. I myself have said he deserves bad things, but I stop short of calling for death.

If we start arresting people for making threats on the internet like in the OP, are we prepared for the same being applied to this board on the other hand? I know there is a difference between what is being highlighted as specific threats versus something more generic like 'Fauci should be hung for crimes against humanity' or 'Schiff needs to rot in a hole', but who gets to decide the threshold? There is a lot of gray area between free speech and actual threats, and I think the door is being opened for some bad things...

Doxxing is not illegal.

Think about your own bank account for a minute. One day you realize all your money was mysteriously gone, and you were bankrupt.

The Bank calls, and tells you they caught the thief who stole your money and bankrupted you.

Instead of being grateful, you tell them the bank they need to die.

That is literally what the left is doing right now.

Complete insanity, on their part.

Good analogy, except for the part where the left IS the thief.

18-20 year old geniuses have done more for America than Obama and Biden.

The left are pure evil and this shows it. Is the media calling this out? Of course not. They're going to outraged about everything for 4 years in the hope they can wear the electorate out and get them to vote for their next dreamy Marxist.
