    Lol they said that and my first thought was, “what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?”

      Is the state is rich enough to hire a hitman… Not that I think it would happen also not that I think that their precautions would prevent that…

      absolutely not. The federal charges have the death penalty attached.

      Remember, the rich fucks need this to end. They certainly don’t want us getting ideas. And the fastest way to do that would be to have him wind up dead before they can drag his name through the mud in a show trial. that would turn him into a martyr.

        Killing this guy is a very good way to piss off a lot of poor people who like him. The rich fucks need this to end in a relatively short prison sentence

        Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.

          At this point, Musk sending his kid into the courtroom in a bomb vest probably isn’t off the table.

      There could be interests making him a martyr of some kind, so CEOs will protect him.
