    Always knew Musk cozying up to Trump was probably because some charges would be coming down the line.

    Just didn’t think it would be treasonous

      I may be wrong, but I get the impression that the US legal system does not allow for real (not a $3.50 fine) prosecution of oligarchs/high end organized crime outside of some edge cases (Theranos, Madoff) where it’s physically impossible to come up with an excuse.

      That crime family running a “legal” opiate distribution cartel comes to mind.
