[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Presidential pardons have been part of a President's powers since the beginning of our Democracy. Whatever Elon is doing (and we don't know exactly what he's doing, do we?) has not. It's unprecedented and unconstitutional. If what's going on now doesn't tell you why those pardons were needed, then you're not paying attention.[/quote]

[quote] What do you mean, "ground shifted?" Do you think Biden's pardons in any way justify what's going on with Musk right now? They don't.

And Biden's pardons were given in order to keep Trump from going on a deranged unwarranted witch hunt after people who committed no crimes. Not that he isn't trying to do that anyhow.[/quote]

[quote] Those pardons have nothing to do with inserting Elon Musk in a position of complete control over our government systems with no authority.

Dr. Fauci retired over a year ago and served in the government under multiple administrations. Has no connection to what’s going on now under Trump—but great attempt at whataboutism![/quote]

Responding to all three of these together.

If what Fauci, Milley, and the J6 Committee did is effectively beyond governmental review because they were pardoned (whether you agreed with their actions or not and whether you agreed with the pardon or not), then Musk and his people can also be pardoned and effectively be placed beyond governmental oversight (whether you agree with what he is doing or not and whether you agree with him being pardoned or not).

This ain’t whataboutism. This is the shoe on the other foot.

I personally don't care if Elon Musk is pardoned.  I just want him to stop behaving as if he is our King because we don't have those.  And if we did have those, he is doing a terrible job at it.[/quote]

The president gave Musk the power to do this. It's really that simple. Trump can also remove Musk at any time and maybe he will.

What specifically did the President give Elon Musk the power to do? Be specific. I went back and looked at the EO that created “DOGE” and it does not even align with what Elon Musk is currently engaging in.

Not to mention, POTUS can’t simply farm out governmental authorities and actions to any random person via edict.[/quote]
