    Too late for those girls in summer camp.

    It’s sad it takes so many deaths to start a pitifully small pushback against those at fault. And not even that. Doge goons are just perfectly placed scapegoats who are about to inherit all the wrongdoings of this administration in the coming years.

    The people who need to most will learn nothing from this.

    Oh wow, and NOBODY saw that one coming…

    Perhaps the families of the victims could sue Elon Musk.
    Make it a class action too.

      Yes let’s get it officially on the record whether Elon was a government employee at the time. Does he have qualified immunity as a government employee or not?

        If those ~20 girls from Camp Mystic are dead he’d get gutted like a fish by a jury. Kids and the elderly always garner jury sympathy. Of course there would probably be a settlement or years of appeals.
