I predict Elon pulling an illegal stunt & getting busted in reaction to this.
I predict him pulling an illegal stunt and getting off scot-free because he's wealthy and has aligned himself with the christofascist party that doesn't support the rule being used against its own.
Reality shows that Tesla gets hit with fines & judgments all the time.
That's the part of the point of the comment you are replying to. The fines are neither a deterrent nor an inconvenience to those wealthy enough to cover the cost. They use their money, power, and influence to continue to violate law without any other consequences other than pulling out their checkbook. The fines are meaningless to people that wealthy.
sure does seem to be a deterrent
Elon Musk says $40m tweet was ‘worth it’ after being fined
Elon says a lot of stupid shit out loud. You can't recognize bluster?
0.00007% of his net worth isn’t a punishment. it has no material effect on him. it’s just some pixels on a screen.
Yeah all those fine really hurt one of the richest men in the world.
Ok, so what you want is for union busting to be a criminal offense instead of a civil one.
I can get behind that.
I mean, he could spend some time in jail for contempt of court if he does something awful…
Usually only for poors
Instead of picketing the streets and striking their jobs, they should try picketing Musk and striking him in the head
