https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-gains-influence-questions-hover-over-us-probes-into-his-empire-2025-01-02/Last month, in the waning days of the Biden administration, the SEC set a tight deadline of several days for demanding that Elon Musk pay a settlement or face civil charges relating to alleged securities violations during his $44 billion takeover of Twitter in 2022.Musk broke the news himself in a social-media post: “Oh Gary, how could you do this to me?” he wrote, referring to SEC Chair Gary Gensler.He added a smiley-face emoji but attached a legal letter condemning the “improperly motivated” ultimatum: “We demand to know who directed these actions—whether it was you or the White House.”An SEC spokesperson declined to comment on the incident. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.The SEC is not the only investigative agency Musk has defied and accused of political harassment. The billionaire has long railed against government oversight, portraying himself as a victim of bureaucratic zealots stifling his companies’ potentially life-saving innovations.The White House will soon be occupied by Donald Trump — whom Musk spent more than a quarter-billion dollars to help elect — rather than Joe Biden, who appointed Gensler. Trump has already named a new SEC chair to replace Gensler, who plans to resign when Trump is inaugurated.Musk’s potential to have extraordinary clout with the new administration raises questions about the fate of federal investigations and regulatory actions affecting his business empire, of which at least 20 are ongoing, according to three sources familiar with SpaceX and Tesla operations and the companies’ interaction with the U.S. government, as well as five current and former officials who have direct knowledge of individual probes into Musk’s companies.
President Musk.
>>1372208Yuck. Not for another 17 days at least.
>>1372208Never has the rule of corporate plutocracy been so evident. A "PlutoCorporacy,". That thumbs it's nose at its own base and imports skilled workers. They had better have good entertainment for the coliseum. tRump IA an Emperor Clown and is entertaining in his own right. Musk ain't sobfunny and the mob may demand thumbs down. A few border massacred may sate the mobs blood lust, or a trip to Mars on the tax payers dime. God damned chhhYna trying to make the red planet RED.
Trump will be a decent VP. Probably go to a few funerals overseas or something. Maybe break a couple of ties in the Senate or something. Meanwhile, Jeets with H1Bs and anyone with a H2B will be streaming into the US unchecked.
>>1372208>>1372239C'mon, that aint happening. But you could mebbe start callin' 'em gepetto.
Does anybody remember that whole thing where biden's DOJ sued Elon for discriminatory hiring practices for not hiring foreigners for space X, which immediately got laughed out of court?Or was that memory holed already?
>>1372276That's not what happened. Elon countersued in a favorable Texas court and got the administrative law judge system the DOJ was using declared unconstitutional.https://www.reuters.com/legal/spacex-wins-reprieve-us-lawsuit-alleging-anti-immigrant-bias-2023-11-09/https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/9/23954357/spacex-doj-hiring-discrimination-lawsuit-blocked-unconstitutional
>>1372304>Laughed out of court>Declared unconstitutional That's what I said
>>1372306It's misleading. The DOJ for years had already successfully sued other companies like Facebook and Walmart this way. Under Trump as well.
"ELON MUSKAVEN NEEDS ALL THE MONEYS, YES!-YES!GOVERNMENT-THINGS NEEDS TO STOP-STOP LOOKING INTO MY BUSINESSES!MY BUTT-BUTT BUDDY TRUMP WILL MAKE THEM!"
>>1372208He's not American, he should fuck off to South Africa and fix his own country
>>1372541Where were you when the South African was buying the presidency months ago?
>>1372202Still done nothing about the Xitter account of an enabler of the founder of Stop The Steal - Ali Alexander - that is an admitted pedo: Nick Fuentes, Eloingated Muskrat. Perhaps that should be investigated. You're enabling a pedo enabler, Elol.Until you purge all unjustifiable elements from your own media empire, you don't have the right to have opinions about anyone else. Judge not, lest ye be judged, Elol.
>>1372202Truly the left worldwide must be completely obliterated for the good of civilization, no matter the cost in blood.
>>1372202>Soros controlled demorats for decades>M-MUSKlol you faggots keep losing.
