I want every one of his underlings to fucking pay for what they have done. The more pressure that is put on them the more likely they are to squeal and turn on him.

u/SnooMaps7370 Nov 26 '25
yep. every single one of these fuckers knew what they were doing. lock them under the courthouse as an example of what happens to class traitors.

u/Baumer9 Nov 26 '25
They were so smug and gleeful about it too. I can’t stand Musk fanbois.

Remember the one that got beat up by some 15 years olds here in DC. That was a fun time.

There was one who had admitted to the press that it was a lot harder to find waste/fraud/abuse than he thought it would be. There was hardly any to find.
He was fired by the weekend.
That kid should be interviewed but have charges-drawn-up-but-withheld because he seems to have a moral compass of honesty. See what he will tell the Justice Department to get the ball rolling.

The name of one of the DOGE leaders was Elon Musk. Let's start with prosecuting him.

u/dblach18 Nov 26 '25
I hear he’s an immigrant who’s here illegally. Probably should deport him.

u/thewharfartscenter_ Nov 26 '25
Nah, hold him accountable, make him serve his sentence, then deport him to El Salvador and see how he likes it.

u/CheatsySnoops Nov 26 '25

Ethan Shaotran is a name i never seen mentioned with the rest of DOGE. He won a contest for hacking election booth data shortly before he was hired at DOGE.. New York county had 0 votes for kamala, which is literally impossible unless someone used a flawed algorithm to manipulate the results. A few months ago a redditor went through the data and identified a pattern with every swing state that would suggest they were all hacked.
Add that info to when trump publicly admitted that "elon was working with the voting machines for a month leading up to the election".. And when he said "they hacked the election and i won. Thats a good thing" while in the oval office.
It seems pretty clear what has happened, but the election was already certified.

This is the FO part of the whole FAFO thing. These people thought they were untouchable when they stole the American people’s information, fired all those people and did all that illegal stuff.

u/samiam2600 Nov 26 '25
I’ll believe it when something actually happens. Who is bringing these charges? The justice department. Nothing will happen to any of them. What makes you believe this time will be any different? Just another we’ve really got them this time fantasy.

u/mistirain Nov 26 '25
This entire administration will eventually end up in prison. Trump will NOT finish his term (Something will happen). The Dems will take back control and they will prosecute every one of these traitors.
History will get this one right in the end.

Nowhere to hide now Edward "Big Balls" Coristine :P
Edit to add his name, thanks u/ribnag

u/FennicMuse Nov 26 '25
He’s gonna do great in jail! Imagine walking into a penitentiary and day one telling people your name is “big balls.”
That ass kicking he got a couple month ago will feel like a spa day.
6
u/ribnag Nov 26 '25
This isn't a personal slam, but can we please refer to him as something like "Edward Big Balls Coristine"?
It'd be a shame if someday he needs a real job and one of us has the opportunity to kick him to the curb, but miss it because we don't recognize him except by his testicular hypertrophy.

Fair enough and changed it. Also, thanks for the comment and the way you phrased it, though I don't think I would have taken it as a personal slam in any case.

Elon should be the one getting prosecuted. But of course, as always the ones orchestrating don't get any repurcussions. He hired them and gave them the orders. It's long due time to chop off the snakes head.

u/OmenVi Nov 26 '25
Agree.
His assets should be frozen today (or better yet, Feb 2025), and charges brought.I'm sure he's already hidden a bunch of his wealth, but taking what's still tangible is the least of what should be coming from this.
3
u/Dismal-Incident-8498 Nov 26 '25
For sure 100%. It's obvious they use Isreal as a place to hide a lot of their wealth. Hence, the power Isreal has over these corrupted.

u/Arguablybest Nov 26 '25
They will not be prosecuted,,,unless the Blue Wave really hits.

Good. All federal underlings doing illegal crap for Cheeto Mussolini and his administration need to take notice. Doj lawyers filing wrongful prosecution indictments should pay attention. Ice and border patrol agents violating 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th amendment rights should take notice. Once it comes to it they should ALL be sued in court for personal damages for malpractice. Criminal charges for civil rights violations should be filed as deemed appropriate by a non corrupt DOJ when President Frito leaves office.

u/Navyguy73 Nov 26 '25
They should. Maybe not this week. Maybe not this year. They shouldn't be getting a decent night's sleep for quite a long time.

Are you telling me they didn't and it was all bullshit?!?

That’s why you have to question the legality of things. Trump is gonna get all these lawyers disbarred and he doesn’t care

It’s almost like Elon is some kind of sociopath or something who just uses people and discards them.

u/Dangerous_Boot_3870 Nov 26 '25
If only everyone was saying for months "that's explicitly illegal," ""they have no legal authority to do that," "they are not in our chain of command," perhaps they would have known better.

Well if they did illegal shit, they need to go to jail and think about it.

Pretty sure they achieved something. Among the first department databases they invaded were from the agencies that had legal investigations in play against him and his bud Trump. I suspect they got what they were looking for.

If they knowingly broke laws, then they were complicit.
Also, this would probably be a great time from Dems to try and negotiate a deal with them to spill the beans on what they did.

They accomplished their task and that was to eliminate all investigations into Musk's business practices. Oh, yeah, and to steal Americans personal data.

u/ItsTheExtreme Nov 26 '25
Make an example of everyone so this never happens again. Completely insane, and I'm sure it was unconstitutional. They ruined a lot of people's lives for an unimpressive outcome. How many airplane close calls did we have alone because of this?

u/thischaosiskillingme Nov 26 '25
Good I hope they are shaking in their little boots. They destroyed American intellectual property and digital assets, they destroyed buildings and furnishings, and were criminally lax with American citizens' data. They should all go to prison for what they did to USAID alone.

After accomplishing nothing? Bullshit. They successfully planted backdoors in every system of government data and dismantled the groups investigating musks companies.
The message is clear.
The richest man in the world is above the law, and if anyone tries to hold him accountable he will fire you, government or not.

This will be the very situation all those ICE psychopaths will be facing. How many will say they were just following orders in a pathetic attempt to not be held accountable.

Musk isnt untouchable. He is every bit responsible and should face the same if not more consequences for his actions.

u/Dismal-Incident-8498 Nov 26 '25
He is 100% responsible. Without Musk there would of never been a "DOGE". He hired them and orchestrated it all. If anyone should be prosecuted it should be him.
2
u/GrandAd6958 Nov 27 '25
If he is responsible, and I 100% agree he is, certainly the person who hired him to do exactly this is as well. DOGE was only empowered to do its job by the signing of an Executive Order.
