    What investigation is needed?

    There’s no way this is legal, it’s what “blatantly illegal” means.

    Like, if someone stripped naked, got a full automatic gun and walked around the White House busting off caps, it’s “blatantly illegal” no investigation needs to be done.

    This isn’t like Musk went home and put pants on, he’s still running around literally everyday till the election doing this.

    You stop the person from committing the crime, and lock them up if there’s reasonable suspicion they’ll keep committing crimes.

    Then when you’ve stopped more crimes from happening, you investigate the crimes that already blatantly happened, as well as looking for others.

      Are you suggesting to lock musk up for up to a year without a jury convicting him? For an illegal lottery.

            Right about what, exactly? You do know this is a random person talking out of their ass on the internet about how they want the justice system to work, not reality.

            Have no fear, there would be an investigation and a jury and conviction before Musk is behind bars (LOL JUST KIDDING, Musk is rich and will never face consequences)

              Right about the radical left wanting to imprison political opponents. Without due process

              Over an illegal lottery that could be argued to be a sweep

          No, just a fair trial for everyone.

          I hate musk more than most and want to see him pay for his crimes, but arresting him for an illegal lottery, that’s possibly a sweep stake, is out of the realm of what I believe in. What the user suggested sounds very fascist to me.

          I’m glad you guys aren’t in charge
