Two lower courts had already rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law.

Thr problem is that there is supposed to be criminal prosecution for this felony so the courts won’t entertain request for an injunction over it. Meanwhile the responsible authorities aren’t willing to arrest and prosecute.

    I fucking hate America.

    A billionaire can hold a multi-million dollar lottery, where the only way to enter is to vote for who he wants; but you can and will be arrested for handing someone a bottle of water while they wait in line to vote.

      I hate Americans.

      They have all these guns, and not one of them is using them in the face of a full fascist takeover of their country. Is there such a thing as a good American or are you all complicit Nazi enablers?

        You wouldn’t do shit and you know it. But I tell you what, if you want to play Rambo, fly on over and give it a go.

        Oh, right. It’s “not your fight.”

        I get the sentiment, but you need to remember…you fight at the right time…we have to wait for a tipping point, we are too unorganized. We are building momentum and there will mostly likely be a key moment when all hell turns loose.

            I mean as soon as we try to take over Greenland, it triggers NATO and either NATO will do nothing and we keep isolating ourselves and continue these trade wars, or they mobilize against us and now we have to pick sides. Once we have to pick sides a lot of peoples lives will change.

      Don’t forget, last time he did this it wasn’t given to some random person. They were hand picked to ‘win’.
