Lawfare: The Bell Now Tolls for Elon Musk! By Charles Taylor (Florida)

The lawfare attacks against former president Donald Trump, to destroy his business empire and to imprison him potentially for life, were the ultimate test case. With those cases up and running, with Trump now a felon on 34 totally bogus charges, the globalist power elites are moving on to deal with the next one they hate, Elon Musk.

Here is how Biden's SEC regime is moving against Musk, something which was on-going before the Trump trials: "Now The Wall Street Journal suggests that the agency is getting closer to making a formal case, and floats the notion that it could cost Musk his role as the CEO of Tesla, as well as the chief technical officer at Twitter/X:

The SEC hasn't filed any enforcement action so far against Musk over his Twitter trading. If the SEC makes a formal complaint against Musk for fraud, regulators are likely to again ask a court to bar him from serving as an officer or director of a public company, former officials said, exposing him to the possibility of removal from Tesla."

Hence if successful, they will remove Musk from his business, because beyond all else, the little bit of freedom of speech that X now has is still intolerable to the Dark Lords who rule the world. But, like Trump, Musk will fight this to the bitter end, as he must.

"Remember when New York's governor, Kathy Hochul oozily assured businessmen, some of whom were thinking of fleeing the state, that there was "nothing to worry about" regarding the state's lawfare targeting President Trump that could possibly affect other businessmen?

In February, The Guardian reported this:

The New York governor has told business owners in her state that there is "nothing to worry about" after Donald Trump was fined $355m and temporarily banned from engaging in commerce in the state when he lost his civil fraud trial on Friday.

In an interview on the New York radio show the Cats Roundtable with the supermarket billionaire John Catsimatidis, Kathy Hochul sought to quell fears in some quarters that the penalties handed to Trump for engaging in fraudulent business practices could chill the state's commercial climate.

Asked if businesspeople should be worried that if prosecutors could "do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody", Hochul said: "Law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry about because they're very different than Donald Trump and his behavior."

Well, just kidding. Of course, the lawfare applied to other businessmen.

Now we see them going after Elon Musk.

According to Business Insider:

The SEC has spent the past couple of years investigating Musk's purchase of Twitter — and the way he disclosed, and didn't disclose, the fact that he was buying up Twitter shares before buying it in 2022.

Now The Wall Street Journal suggests that the agency is getting closer to making a formal case, and floats the notion that it could cost Musk his role as the CEO of Tesla, as well as the chief technical officer at Twitter/X:

The SEC hasn't filed any enforcement action so far against Musk over his Twitter trading. If the SEC makes a formal complaint against Musk for fraud, regulators are likely to again ask a court to bar him from serving as an officer or director of a public company, former officials said, exposing him to the possibility of removal from Tesla.

Just as they tried to take away Trump's right to do business in the state of New York, Biden's SEC is trying to take away Musk's right to lead his own companies if they are publicly traded. It doesn't matter what the shareholders want. They want to deprive Tesla and other companies Musk serves as a top company officer for from his business, same as they tried for Trump.

As for disclosures, who on Earth tells the world when he is buying a big stake in a company bit by bit? We know that hedge funds, mutual funds, and other big whales of finance don't. As long as the buying is transparent, and people can see it if they look, it seems the charges are questionable. While I am no legal expert on this matter, it seems a bit odd to see them going after him for this unless the market itself recognizes what he did as a crime. So far, I have not seen any significant speaking out from those quarters, just criticism from political types who hated the guy to begin with.

Musk himself has called it lawfare, and who is to argue with him?

This has the sleazy look of payback, for Musk's cardinal sin among the deep staters, which was to buy Twitter and disclose its government involvement and illegal violations of the First Amendment on ordinary Americans, something for which no one, thus far, has been punished.

The deep state cannot forgive this. Musk spilled their rice bowl and now they've got to think up some other diabolical scheme to take away people's freedom of speech.

The rest of us can see the peculiar timing here, coming on the heels of a previous measure to deprive Musk of his salary even after he delivered what he promised to shareholders. He's a business leader who creates value, and they can't stand that.

Count on some other measures from them regarding Musk's SpaceX venture and Boring Company, they'll throw everything they have at him at once, just as they did to Trump.

Just don't call it justice. This reeks of another kangaroo prosecution same as Trump was subject to.

They're coming. They're coming for us all."
