    Filthy rich, white. He gets the wag of the finger treatment and nothing worse. Just like Trump.

      In this specific case? It comes down to a civil servant getting paid 80k a year. If they get his case file for review and they flag it then the government starts doing it’s thing. Of course it will end up in court but a normal court can’t do much about it. Which is how Elon’s bestest buddies set it up. And once it’s on his file that he lied in order to gain citizenship or residency he’s straight up barred.

      In other words, if he lied then it will take a literal act of congress to save his citizenship.

        I appreciate the wisdom of your words, but the past few years have planted me squarely in the camp of “I’ll see it when I believe it” when it comes to any sort of consequence for powerful, wealthy Republicans.

          Oh yeah, there’s always the possibility that despite the numerous articles on it the government just ignores him.
