In August, New Zealand's Justice Minister authorized Kim Dotcom's immediate arrest and extradition. Dotcom's response to his followers on X was simple: "I'm not leaving." Another post mid-September - "we are very close to disaster" - led to Dotcom disappearing for three weeks. On his return, Dotcom said X had suspended his account, based on an extremely serious allegation. After accusing Elon Musk of failing to help, yesterday Dotcom warned that a Trump loss would see Musk indicted and "fighting for his life." Dotcom has a plan to avoid extradition; chaos like this provides the fuel.

if Elon or Zuckerberg were arrested for copyright issues it would be the only time in my entire life that the arrest was deserved for that reason, I dare say it would be the only good thing that DMCA has done in its entire life if that could happen

Here's the thing, though. Even if Trump somehow won the election, Elon Musk will still likely get indicted and get stabbed in the back by Trump. That's kind of his thing. Trump doesn't care about anybody but himself.
