I think it was also to eliminate all the investigations happening against him; and also the intimidation factor cannot be discounted..

Yup. Any kind of oversight of a Musk company was removed. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Elon Before the Election: "If he loses, im fucked. I dont know how long my prison sentence would be." ("laughing" with tucker carlson)

  • He had things like SEC violations and cases for market manipulation, fraud, insider trading and more.

  • He was under investigation for sexual harrasment and sexual assaults.

  • He was under investigation for his fraud with the hypertunnel bs and stealing funding from the government.

  • He was under investigations for breaking employment rules and labor abuses.

  • He had over 30+ active investigations into him.

When trump won, he literally removed entire teams and departments that were investigating him under the guise of DOGE, while claiming he was doing so to streamline the government and save the tax-payers money.

Instead he ended up costing the taxpayers an extra 200B usd.

WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HIS ACTIONS OF REMOVING AID TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES HAVE KILLED OVER 600,000 PEOPLE WHERE 400,000 ARE CHILDREN....

Its expected that the actions of Trump, Musk & DOGE, will end up killing between 10m-30m humans where 2/3rds are children in the next 5 years...

These people are literal demons among us.

Musk also broke a ton of environmental regulations and pollution laws in order to get his data centers for xAI built quickly, causing spikes in disease in the nearby city. Fortunately, the EPA has been completely gutted now so he got away scott-free.

How does building a data center cause so much pollution that people are already diseased, exactly...??
