Summary

Democrats Stansbury and Raskin introduced the “Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act,” which targets Elon Musk’s dismantling of federal services through the DOGE cost-cutting scheme.

It seeks personal liability for Musk, amid lawsuits and concerns over sensitive data access.

The proposal aims to protect taxpayers and critical federal operations against unauthorized actions.

    Can some person explain why they can’t just go to the police and have him arrested? Why do these empty actions?

    No one elected Hitler either - he was appointed chancellor by German president Hindenburg.

    We’ve been following the pre-Nazi playbook to the letter, and an octogenarian just handing out a fuck-ton of power to a vocal shitstain is one of the many parallels.

    Democrats finally noticed the clown show? Musk’s been playing meme-stock messiah while regulators snoozed. Now they’re scrambling to write laws that should’ve existed before letting a hype-man cosplay as economy-in-chief. Newsflash: billionaires aren’t your friends.

    This bill’s a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. Musk’s empire thrives on legal gray zones and fanboys who think SEC stands for “Suggestions Eventually Cancelled.” Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s just his latest grift—digital confetti for pump-and-dump sycophants.

    Democracy’s a joke? Obviously. But watching Dems pretend to rein in their own Frankenstein? Peak comedy. Next up: laws ensuring water’s wet.

    Ok, sure, but wouldn’t he just get a pardon? Isn’t this why the duo of the world’s richest man and the most corrupt(able) president so perfectly sinister? Feels bad man
