When this is over, Musk is going to end up hanging from the end of a rope. He will be charged, tried, and convicted, and hanged for treason against the republic. What he has done is literally a capital offense. And those kids who've helped him enact this coup by hacking government systems? They have signed their own death warrants. They will join him on the gallows after they also are convicted for their treason and acts of terrorism against the nation.

This is plain fantasy. The CIA and others have had the power to do something about him for years now and have done nothing and they're not stopping this coup, either. You've seen how we got here. What makes you think it'll end differently to how it's been going?

There is a big difference between someone like Trump potentially carrying out a coup and actively carrying out a coup. He is now "an enemy, foreign and domestic." If members of the military have any intention of upholding their oath, he and his regime need to be removed by force.

They should be removed by force. They are constantly violating laws, committing countless acts of treason, stealing classified documents.

Nobody in the entire military has yet to lift a single feature or even speak out against the treason going on.

I am starting to think that the entire US military won't do a single thing to uphold their oaths and it will somehow lie on the struggling public for any sort of resistance or justice...

Agreed, but I'll bet against it.

No. He’ll shoot himself, just like Hitler before him, because he cannot fathom a world in which he has zero control.

Pardons don't help you when you're being removed by the military.

Trump. Let's just get reporters to keep asking him if he can comment on all those people saying Elon is the president and is really running the show.

Please keep writing headlines like this to make the orange bad feel insecure and hostile toward the nazi.

"Might be fun to discover what the military does when they don’t get their paychecks"

This might be the best case scenario. A military takeover that then gives power back to a "normal" government. Or ideally assists with rebuilding American democracy to prevent an authoritarian fascist takeover and prevent religion and companies from influencing government.

Wouldn't that be nice? Let me dream lol
