Robert Reich, who was the secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton [writes for the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/30/elon-musk-wealth-power) with plans to stop Elon Musk. Looks like they will come for Musk after arresting Telegram’s CEO.
Here is the master plan:
1. Boycott Tesla.
2. Advertisers should boycott X.
3. Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X.
4. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals – and if he does not, sue him under Section Five of the FTC Act.
5. The US government – and we taxpayers – have additional power over Musk, if we’re willing to use it. The US should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX.
6. Make sure Musk’s favorite candidate for president is not elected.

They have pissed him off to the point he doesn’t care to loose money. I love elon.. I would buy a tesla if I could afford it but who can afford them under the democrats. I can’t with everything 4x higher
They hate Musk so much for breaking their big tech monopoly with Twitter. Ihave mad respect for him for doing that even though some things he says I disagree with. Namely some stuff about Israel.
There has been no truth since 2013 and the “lies” they talk of aren’t actually lies they are just opinions they don’t like. They want free speech dead above all.
The freedom loving people of the world aren’t gonna give it up so easily. The EU the UK and CAN have no free speech they need us to speak for them and for their rights.
They wouldn’t be trying to ban X in brazil if it wasn’t for them trying to censor.
Can people not see censorship is always used to push lies and unpopular ideas. Their arguments are ridiculous and cannot stand without it. That is why they must censor everyone else.
The US government is who installed him, they are now too dependent on his space company to take him down by collapsing his companies. I suspect this is why he began speaking of fearing for his life/assassination a few years ago.
He knows who he chose to play ball with and so do they.
