"SNIP.........

“Elon Musk lambasted the French court verdict that blocked Marine Le Pen from a 2027 presidential run after the far-right figurehead was found guilty of embezzlement,” Politico reports.

Said Musk: “When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world.”

So Musk is pro embezzlement. Thanks.

Fascists stick together (at least until knifing each other in the back proves lucrative)

an election for president, so...his point is moot.

But, she is a criminal and France apparently doesn't let criminals run for office!

Boy, I wish the US had rules like that.

I also wish that Elon would fuck off into the sun.

He supports criminals and people that have committed fraud. Why else would he do this unless he is a total criminal himself.

justice would've locked a fkr like Musk UP by now. Trump and his co-conspirator MAGA insurrectionists in Congress too.
