X and SpaceX owner Elon Musk dismissed the verdict in Trump’s civil fraud case by simply asking who the supposed victim was if all of the loans granted to Trump were paid back with interest.
In a rather unsurprising move, the former was found liable in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil suit brought against Trump and his companies. Trump was ordered to “pay back” more than $350 million after the years-long case brought forward by an attorney general who campaigned on “getting Trump” came to a close.
Musk responded with a simple question in an X post. “Given that there were no victims with losses, who is supposed to receive the money?” asked Musk.

Simple. Government. Basically Donald Trump is getting a massive tax bill.
Now states can grab assets in any instance THEY determine a harm has occurred
They could take your house because you exaggerated income on your mortgage application 30 years ago.
Despite having paid it off , without so much as a single late payment.
Despite the lender having no issues.
Kind of a catch-22. If he overpaid, he should file for a refund. That’d be fun to watch.
That has been my question all along.
Doesn’t the judge get a percentage?
We know who gets 10%.
Why can’t some NY judge do the same thing to Musk? Just arbitrarily declare a summary judgement against Musk for $10 trillion. That’ll fix him.
So he paid taxes on the estimated value of the property and loan? Who is the injured party? No one.
He deserves a tax refund.
Musk Watching is Fun!
It is so corrupt.
Yep. This is a frightening ruling that needs to be overturned.
The Democrats are so desperate to get Trump, they're opening up so many Pandora's boxes that are going to come back to haunt them.
They are unable to see how this will affect people because they are blinsed by hate
Given that the State and City are broke, well they are coming up with new sources of revenue. After all under Communism, the State owns everything!
!0% to the Big Guy.
10% to the crooked judge.
10% to the crooked DA.
70% to the state government to spend making illegal alien invaders comfy.
Seems to me if everything was over-valued. And there were not “victims.”
Then shouldn’t Trump be the one getting some sort of refund from the property tax assessor? Refund from the insurance companies? Refund from the bank for over charging him on a bad loan amount?
If I said the property was worth a million and you agreed and loaned me the million, but the property was only really worth 25,000...and I paid the million, who defrauded who? It would appear to me that Trump is the victim here having overpaid for properties, property taxes, etc.
If everyone agreed to the value of the property at the time of the loan and it was paid....what are we doing here? All parties agreed and signed to the documents.
Thunk about what you wrote before the next time you think about living, working, or investing in a blue hive
Successful real estate magnates are sharks. They have to be. So I presume they are all watching this and saying look, if this is the court determined valuation of this property owned by Trump, well I have this property on 83rd and ... and it's similar to Trump's and my tax assessment has been 5 times that number. I should get back all of those excess taxes charged over the years by the fraudsters in the city tax office.
Try to get Trump and bankrupt the government of NYC instead.
“There was room for thirteen families in your house, Dr. Zhivago” crowed the old crone Marxist block leader who had moved into the family home in Moscow. Don’t think they won’t pull it here.
