  • He pled not guilty. You don’t plead innocence in court.

    He has to prove that he is not guilty of the case brought by the prosecution. That’s what not guilty means. He only has to disprove the specifics of the case brought against him.

    Its the procetutor’s job to prove, it is the defendant’s job to disprove.

    Pleading not guilty is the right choice. Either his lawyers think he’s not guilty, and this plea lets them beat the charges, or he is guilty and this plea delays the inevitable.

    If he pled guilty that would skip the main part of the trial and go straight to sentencing. Pleading guilty is rarely a good idea unless you are making a deal for a reduced sentence.












  • it would be, but they are the minority party in the federal legislature. They can’t do the things you’re suggesting on their own. Obstructionism is the best course of action. You’re asking for things they literally can’t do, instead of things they choose not to like normal.

    FAA is run by the executive branch. They are subject to laws that have to pass the republican legislature. Not a reasonable option at this point unless republicans start to turn on musk.

    Those who could craft or enforce laws against musk right now are the states. If a state could charge musk with a crime and arrest him for it it could stick. The presidential pardon only extends to federal crimes.




  • The listed indices dropped an amount within the standard range that they regularly fluctuate. The dow is still up from where it was on january 1st. The same can be said for nasdaq and the s&p. Stocks are continuing to trend upward unabated, but they do wiggle as they do so.

    Don’t ever trust the news when they say the market “plummets.” They use that term incredibly misleadingly. The lines on the charts wiggle constantly. When something bad happens some hack news sites will find a minor downward wiggle near the same time and they’ll claim causation and pretend that something significant happened to the markets, to drive clicks to their website.

    The fact that most of the comments are taking the headline at face value is not a good sign.
