Elon Musk has restated why the First and Second Amendments exist in the United States. On November 29, 2025, from X.com:

Mr Richelieu-Booth was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed. He was then released on bail until October.
He claims police visited his home three more times before the charges against him were dropped.
Mr. Richelieu-Booth reported that his computers and telephone were seized by police, which made it impossible for him to work. Mr. Richelieu-Booth is an IT consultant. The charges were eventually dropped. While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment.

Ah, yes, the crappy cop’s favorite saying: “You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride”...
Yep ... when public servants set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner, they become public enemies.
Its harassment meant to scare others from similar behavior.
He was a typical liberal wuss... I’ve run into a bunch of them since I retired from the Marines.
“And by die on, you are willing to risk something: your money, time, reputation, job and maybe your life.”
Our founding fathers risked all of that in order for us to have a BOR. Apparently, value has a different meaning to you than to me. If you’re not willing to take risks, what does “value” mean? Musk has the opportunity to truly show his value of the BOR by setting an example on his own platform and chooses not to.
It is amazing that they put him through this while the muslim grooming gangs are ignored.
The Muslims are part of the EU agenda.
The EU is part of the Muslim’s agenda.
“punish you for non-crimes”

Got brother and sister in Virginia. Not looking good.

Without the means to fight back everything else is subject to whims of government.
