Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler has accused Elon Musk of felony vote buying and he has called for the billionaire's arrest if he comes to the state.
Ok, so apparently you have no clue how the justice system works.
See, the first thing that they check is the size of your net worth. Musk gets the platinum tier. Which basically means he gets to do what he wants while his laywers hire lawyers who’s junior associates actually do the work. And despite them being a huge flight risk due to having private planes, boats, and all-but-unlimited resources at their disposal, they’re given the most lenient, unsupervised release conditions.
It’s also important to note that those on that level get the privilege of being able to ignore bail conditions, court orders, or other restrictions a minimum of ten times. And after that, the judge threatens to hold hearings asking him why they shouldn’t hold more hearings discussing the possibility of imposing monetary fines that are the equivalent of couch cushion change as a punishment. Members of the platinum tier aren’t subject to consequences that are typically reserved for lower tiers. At Gold, they can threaten you with it without actually imposing it. At platinum, they don’t even bother doing that.
And in the rare case that actual punishments are imposed on them, they get to remain free for a time to “get their affairs in order” and often also get to arrange the terms of their own incarceration, such as when they’ll surrender to custody, serving only on weekends or evenings, or even “house arrest” (legalspeak for “no punishment at all, but we’ll pretend it is”). They are often also allowed to remain free during the appeals process, which they have the opportunity to drag out indefinitely.
Few on the platinum tier even have to suffer the indignity of having to walk inside a courtroom, much less a jail cell.
I understand that you were looking at our court system from the point of view of one of us filthy commoners. I’m just here to clear up any misconceptions and make sure you understand that the US government considers people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump more equal than you and deserving of a justice system that caters towards giving them the little extras in life that they obviously deserve because they were born rich. If you don’t like being one of the poors, try being born rich next time.

I suppose I should have put a /s tag on my comment
