Essentially true. First you would have to get the other state to arrest Musk, which would be a massive chore on it’s own. The arresting state would be fully aware that Musk has essentially infinite resources and his lawyers would sue the shit out of them. The state would need to be prepared to spend millions or even tens of millions in the courts just for arresting him regardless of the turn out. Wisconsin would also need to spend millions trying to push through the extradition which Musk would fight with his armies of lawyers and pallets of money.
Can’t they just do what has been done to college students and have people that can force him into a unmarked car and drive him to an airplane and fly him off before anyone has a chance to understand what is going on?
Because he has money. At that level, they apologize to you for the inconvenience and ask one of your representatives to come in and negotiate a possible surrender if you can fit it into your schedule.
You know the saying that if you owe the bank $1000 you have a problem, but if you owe the bank $100 million, they have a problem? Or how when you’ve got that much money, you’re not “crazy”, you’re just “eccentric”?
Same basic thing here. Musk didn’t commit a crime; it’s a “civil matter”. He’s not going to be arrested. He’ll just be “sued”. If the AG wants to try to butt heads with Trump and try to arrest Musk, the AG is going to be the one with the problem.
What, you didn’t think the law applied to them, did you?
Why is he being “sued” and not “arrested and held without bail”? Is election tampering not a felony?
Presumably because he is not yet in Wisconsin. If he shows up though, there really isn’t an excuse.
Don’t states have extradition with each other? Or is that just on TV shows?
That’s for poor people.

Let’s test that hypothesis. I’ll bet Wisconsin could arrest and prosecute him. Give it a shot.
They’d have to convince states like Texas, or Florida to arrest him first since that’s where he is for most of his businesses.
Send a bounty hunter to get him, dead or alive.
