Summary
Members of Elon Musk’s private security team have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service, granting them federal law enforcement privileges.
The move follows heightened security concerns and death threats against Musk.
While the Marshals Service routinely deputizes officers, deputizing private security is highly unusual.
The extent of their authority remains unclear, but they may carry weapons and make arrests.
Not a good look… private police? What the fuck is this nonsense… Ayn Rand libertarian fanfiction?
The first brownshirts is what it is.
Someone smarter than me said something like “History doesn’t repeat, it echoes.”
It’s sure as fuck echoing right now and folks need to fucking listen.
Not alone regarding to US politics, the whole world eerily feels in a similar turmoil like 100 years ago. Let’s hope enough people recognize the overture of the symphony of horrors that is attached to it. Let’s hope we can turn it around before the true demons of our past come to haunt us all.
That’s 100% what this is. Once they get an unconditional pardon, it gives them free reign to literally murder anyone. Not in self defense, but proactively.

No apology needed, I appreciate the correction!

I don’t think Ayn Rand would have supported this bullshit. The talentless “businessmen” who wear the trappings of wealth but produce nothing were always the villains in her books. Plus she was vehemently anti-theocracy.
