First, one case does not guarantee the same outcome in another, so there’s no certainty that any case against them would have any effect on musk at all.
nothing is certain of course, but precedence is a very real thing in law.
Second, this is *not* the election to fuck around with anything even remotely vote manipulating.
i disagree that there’s much to worry about here but it’s a fair point.
I might agree there wasn’t much to worry about, except it’s already happened.
It hasn’t even been 4 years since January 6th 2021. But it’s been years where the people that organized it, and had plants in place, to plan better.
That’s the kind of thing that I’m talking about. While that’s going to happen regardless of this publicity stunt, or not happen regardless of it, it could be made worse.
The last time shit went down, trump and his far right supporters had to rely on outright lies. Shit like this could be enough to sway people on the fence into a more radicalized mindset. While it could be argued that if shit goes down, and if they fail, then those edge cases are better off being swept up in it and imprisoned after, I think that’s a very dangerous argument. I don’t like ifs when it comes to something this risky.

The entire point is that when people get upset about this you can ask “why is it okay when Musk does it?”
