When it comes right down to it the courts will make rulings musk and trump may try to quietly ignore them. It will be the people who will actually shut them down! tRump hates when maga gets upset. Don’t kid yourself if maga starts to suffer and they will when prices go up and checks don’t go out he will back pedal! His followers are diehard but they don’t all care for musk. Farmers are going to suffer because of USAID, no grain sales. Chaos is what those two idiots have created and people will continue to get sick of it. tRump may have immunity but musk and his minions do not! We will survive, we may be beat up a bit but those who did the damage will find themselves in a very difficult position. Musk I see losing his lucrative government contracts when this is all said and done. You don’t trample on our country, our constitution and our democracy without consequences. I’m in this for the long haul and I have faith in those coming consequences! Just my opinion.

Last I looked, the U.S. Marshal is the enforcement arm of the federal courts, but the U.S. Marshal's office works for the Department of Justice, now overseen by a blonde named Pam Bondi, who is not likely to direct the marshals to arrest Musk, or Trump, or Vance. So what else have we got? Because as of right now, ignoring court orders is without cost.

So, let me try and understand this statement. Not an option to follow court orders? And just what do those courts propose to do when the President refuses to follow them?? What are the courts going to do to protect the people and our country from Elon Musk?? What ACTION will they take? Anything short of arresting and throwing both in jail as traitors to the Constitution, nothing else matters, does it? I am tired of nothing physical being done to stop these felons!

Exactly! The thieves are in your house and you tell them, "Hang on a minute while I get a ruling on this." NO. You call the police and get them the hell out! Who are the police to protect us now and where are they?

My husband won a case in court, and was awarded money. The offending party didn't pay. There was nothing to enforce the ruling. This was small potatoes. What Trump/Musk are doing is akin to treason. Who knows what information is being plundered and stolen, and into whose hands it eventually falls? Who's there to enforce the law? What do we do while the cases slog their way to SCOTUS? Meanwhile, the illegal activity continues and our democracy is going down the tubes.

I feel like the constitution will go down by people using the constitution to bring it down. And don't forget that during his campaign Trump said he would use the military against whoever was against him. That meant Americans. I am willing to take to the streets even in that light.

Exactly when has the Trump Administration complied with the Rule of Law? Any Law? ANY international law? This is far more than a Constitutional Crisis. The SCOTUS is more corrupt than our Administrative Branch and our Congressional Branch. We failed to see our imperfections and sold ourselves to hubris. There is no longer a United States. Only the Weapons of Mass Destruction Rule The World. Salvage the spoils of humanity.

The protests in the streets are happening and they are happening all across America.

We the people refuse to bow and kiss the ring of a convicted felon/adjudicated rapist/ copresident to elon musk.

Musk is doing this to make money and felon47 is allowing him too because he is financially on the edge of broke. The agencies tasked with over seeing musk and his government contracts are what he is aiming at dismantling. There are multiple investigations that considering the condition of tesla financially are what is keeping him in the money.

DOWN WITH LAPDOWN FELON47 AND THE UNELECTED PRESIDENT ELON MUSK!

When we have to take to the streets to protest, a false flag incident will happen (like Germany did to Poland to justify their invasion), Trump will declare a state of emergency and sic the military on us like he campaigned on. I expect it.

He'll just do a Reichstag Fire (burn down Mar-A-Lago to wreck the evidence) to justify an Enabling Act.
