That would typically be true for elected officials, but I'm not so sure about rank and file government employees. Canada has "the sunshine list" of salaried public servants who make more than $100K/year, but luckily these little freaks don't appear to be either on the department's payroll OR have security clearance.
Elon CAN protect them from prosecution. Have you forgotten that Trump pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists just two weeks ago?
If they've committed crimes, they're federal crimes. If they're federal crimes, they have to be charged by employees of the Trump administration. Even if that does happen, and even if Trump can't persuade his own fucking attorneys to make it stop happening, he waves his pardon scepter and it all goes away.
Criminal law isn't going to save us from a goddamn thing anymore.
A lot can happen in 4 years. They better hope Trump doesn’t get impeached, assassinated, 25th’d, have a stroke, a heart attack or an “accident”. Trump doesn’t run the country, the MIC does and he’s fucking around with their biggest and most reliable client, NATO. Why do you think after years of ranting about cutting off funding to Ukraine, he’s not touching it? Because they’re making a fortune from it, that’s why.
Remember when Elon published the names of government workers who he thought should be fired, mostly based in his opinion of what their job title sounded like? It was only, like, a month or two ago.
Thx. So not a crime. Shitty behavior, arguably, but not a crime. Considering his administration of Twitter, he only perceives it as a crime when it happens to his team.
And he claims it's doxxing to just name them. Nothing else, just their names. Meanwhile, one just needs to look at Libs of Tiktok for the real bullshit, but that's a-ok because it's on the reich side.
That 25yo just knows he's super hot shit and gonna be set for life. He just doesn't realize it'll be set up in prison for whatever short life he'll have remaining
Part of me is really sad for them- cause we've all that age. Thinking we knew our shit. The majority of us still wildly depending on our parents or other sources for help and/or guidance- but still thinking "we're adults! It's all us now!"
And should things somehow turn favorably for the American public, these six will be facing federal prison.
But they're currently in a microcosm where for one reason or another, they're probably thinking they're doing the right thing.
I mean... there were a lot of talk as well about turning them to red mist and other heroic actions. Also the spreadsheet with their addresses and phone numbers. Which you shouldn't go find on bluesky

Once they took control of government entities they became government employees and we have the right to know who they are.

Has he cited chapter & verse of exactly the law that’s being broken? Or is he blaming some nebulous “sedition” thing.
