More proof that the left are always the fascists, despite loving to throw that accusation around.

When was the last time a national leader attacked all of Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos’ assets?

Musk is our generation’s Edison or Ford.

He created, from nothing, a space agency that can land rockets back on earth [and now is tapped to rescue NASA astronauts], an internet sattelite system, lead the vehicle EV industry, revolutionized boring tech, and on and on.

The democrats want to jail him for committing the “crime” of allowing people to express their own ideas and opinions without government interference.

Think on that.

I actually believe Musk has surpassed both Edison and Ford in his contributions to mankind.

Our government goes after a real estate tycoon to destroy him, his family and his employees.

There are numerous domestic groups that want Musk and his free speech platform stopped:

Remember that SpaceX has nothing to do with “X”, and it was Brazil that said they were going to target SpaceX that is causing this move by SpaceX.

Why isn’t the US stepping in to defend American’s interests. I know the answer, but any other time in history, we would be pounding on Brazil like a bug diplomatically.
