Hey Friend. This topic is not about Musk. Start a new thread if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

This is about our government and it's abuse of power.

Yes it is, it's about Musk's attempt to undermine our country by playing interference for our enemies.
Fighting corruption of the government doesn't undermine the country. Hiding it does.
There is nothing corrupt about lawfully obtaining information on people. Musk framing this as corruption is an attempt to flame conspiracy theories. If not, I hope he will release all of his dealings with all international organizations.
There is nothing lawful about mass surveillance of Americans by the government. It's explicitly against the Constitution.
Musk should just leak the requests if he thinks it's so indefensible. But he won't, because he has nothing. Just secrets that he's legally obligated to keep. Looking forward to Musk leaking the communication with Russia and China, because clearly his goal is to fight authoritarianism, not undermine the U.S.
Snowden did leak and now is in grave danger. You underestimate how much the corrupt government can harm Musk.
