A hell of a lot of profit was made through leveraging kompromat made possible by the sexual exploitation of children. Roy Cohn was among those pioneering the practice in American circles of power.

Elon Musk likely broke the law by giving voters $1 million, Wisconsin board says

The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has found probable cause that billionaire Elon Musk broke state law when he handed out $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 state Supreme Court election

MADISON, Wis. -- Billionaire Elon Musk likely broke Wisconsin law when he handed out $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 state Supreme Court election, a bipartisan panel has found.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission last week referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney's office, which can choose to bring criminal charges over violating the state law against election bribery. Prosecutors have 40 days to report back to the commission.

Musk, the founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, was deeply involved in the effort to flip majority control of the highest court in battleground Wisconsin.

The tech titan and groups he supported spent at least $20 million on the candidate backed by Republicans, Brad Schimel. However, he lost by 10 percentage points to Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford.

because of actions he ordered while he headed DOGE.

His single handed , overnight destruction of USAID should be good for at least tyen years in the pokey.

Election interference is going to be a tall order to prove. Hisillegal destruction of agencies put into law and funded by Congress is not up for any debate at all. That's what will lose him his NASA c and MIC contracts and turn him into a fugitive.
