Arrest the kids

The kids working with Loon and stealing our private information are not cloaked with immunity. Isn't there someone somewhere within our bureaucracy who can manage to get arrest warrants issued against these kids? If they aren't sleeping in the WH and instead commute daily they can be surveiled and arrested. Harass their friend and family.

Their cyber actions are illegal. If they're faced with having to pay a $50 million dollar bond (or more), having to stay in jail until their trial, and having to retain and pay their legal fees, would they want to make a deal about what they know and what they've done and spill the beans?

At least they'll learn that Loon is not their friend.

4. Yes of course we can try, but it is just a political PR stunt.

Which is fine with me. Anything is better than doing nothing.
But it is just political theater and will not change anything.

It is better to sit down and do some thinking.

What is Trump and Musk's Achilles heel?

How can anyone get past Elon’s security detail? I agree with the concept but it probably needs a detailed plan.

Financial crimes against currency and treasury are part of their mission.

Start with them. And give them no ability to get out on bail! They are a clear danger now!

All the naysayers here sound like they're ready to hand it all over to these outlaws!!!

Sure, DOJ is ruled by them, but there are still some who are willing to do their jobs while they can!

And keep arresting anyone else (low level is easier right now) and keep them behind bars with no visitors aside from their lawyers.

And boo trump and musk, etc whenever they are in public!!!

I'm also wondering what the group of internet sleuths who helped identify the January 6 insurrectionists is up to these days? Or even all the previous Twitter IT people are up to? Isn't Musk famously ignorant about all that stuff? Can anyone upsurp the upsurpers?!

then state attorney generals could charge them for financial crime, cyber crimes, etc.. with state crimes. For example, NOAA is in Maryland. Likewise, the Department of energy has most of its operations in Germantown, Maryland.
Trump can not interfere and pardon state charges.

and the consequences of their actions.

Too bad, too sad. Maybe their mom will let them sleep in the basement.
