All-In" podcast hosts Sacks and Friedberg discuss "lawfare" against Elon Musk's companies over his political speech and warn that if there are no consequences to this kind of behavior by federal agencies and bureaucracies, it will escalate:
DAVID SACKS: There's going to be lawfare all over the place... I'm definitely not at the top of the list. Elon is at the top of the list. So, he has no choice but to go all-in, they're already doing lawfare against him. But I think the point is just that if they're not defeated, they're going to keep doing it -- because there is no downside for it.
DAVID FRIEDBERG: I will comment on the California Coastal Commission ruling that was based on Elon's political tweets, which is why they stopped additional [SpaceX] launches from Vandenberg [AF base]. First off all, the California Coastal Commission has authority over Vandenberg and the operations -- which seems like something wrong, but they have the ability to block launches out of Vandenberg, which they did. And in their decision, they said it was because of Elon's political tweets.

To bring in his tweets to make a decision about the progress of SpaceX and to allow public space to be used to further than cause and activity seems to me abhorrent and ridiculous, and it is exactly what's wrong with the bureaucratic morass that a lot of these institutions have grown into.
DAVID SACKS: She said the quiet part out loud, so in a way, she does us a favor. Which is, she acknowledged that all of this lawfare against SpaceX and Elon is political. She basically pleaded guilty to it.
She's proud of it because she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. She thinks this is her job as a bureaucrat,

It isn’t just leftists in the US government attacking Musk. It is in the EU and in Brazil too. It is like the marxists are all colluding on this.
Attorney Hugh Hewitt recommends Musk sue the commission’s individuals, not the commission itself.

Public Official Bonds
A public official is a person who holds a position of official authority that is conferred by a State, City, County or other municipality. They often hold a legislative, administrative or judicial position of sorts and is either elected or appointed. Relative to surety bonds, notaries public are the most common public official. A public official bond which provides indemnity for failure of a public official to faithfully perform their duties while properly managing funds they might oversee for the term of their designation.
Surety bonds provide financial guarantees that bondholders such as public officials, companies, contractors, or unions will uphold their contracts according to mutual terms.
Surety bonds protect WE THE PEOPLE from fraud and malpractice. When a bondholder breaks a bond’s terms, the harmed party can make a claim on the bond to recover losses.

I agree with Hugh Hewitt. These people won’t care unless it personally impacts them.
If they cheat successfully and Harris takes office, the Democrat party will criminalize the entire Republican party.
We will see senators in jail.
Surety bonds depend on a fair and honest judicial system.
As I’ve seen it by the people who’ve employed the tactic of going after the bonds for school board members, the board members cave fast once the bond company notifies them of the claim.
So, the good guy lawfare tactic IS effective.
