        The SCOTUS already announced he could take citizenship away from ANYONE. Literally ANYONE, even people born here. The horrific part has already come to pass, my friend.

        They’re already trying to build their own personal index of recognized citizens that the president has full control over.

        You didn’t read the article.

        Trump is saying if he takes away Elon’s subsidies, Elon would be forced to pack up and go home.

        Not that he would physically deport him.

        It’s a misleading title

      I was saying that Musk needs to be investigated, have his assets seized by the government and deported for months now and everyone has been upvoting it. So now its dark and psychotic because Trump is saying it?

        The context of who does a thing and how they’d be likely to do it matters; a surgeon cutting into someone with a scalpel can help heal them, but an untrained idiot with the same scalpel is likely to make the situation even worse than if the surgery hadn’t even been tried.

        Though I don’t agree with the deportation bit, I view unwilling deportation as cruel, and taking his obscene pile of wealth away would also remove most of his ability to negatively effect society anyway (and if it didn’t, then him being physically in a different country probably wouldn’t help much either, or else would be pushing the problem onto them instead of solving it.)

        As a general rule:

        When any person who has shown by actions in the past that they are reasonable thinking, kind and generally have the true greater good in mind, a statement carries along this assessment background.

        The exact same statement words delivered by a person with a history of nasty, cruel, uneducated, evil and erratic behavior gives very same words, it carries a very different notion woth it.

        Exact same words, very different annotations.

        I don’t know you, so you can’t be placed, but trump can clearly be placed.

      If he will even just make threats to white, male, billionaire who publicly supported him and funded him, then hopefully its a wake up call to the other billionaires. May be then they can start paying the DNC and the R Supreme Court judges who like free holidays to actually do something about Trump.

      I would be extremely surprised if Trump actually follows through with any of this, but Musk is more than capable of escalating the situation like last time to the point Trump has to follow through.
