The Supreme Court has told Elon Musk to buzz off.

The Supreme Court refused Monday to hear an appeal from Elon Musk’s X Corp. on the company’s claim that special counsel Jack Smith took an unlawful deep dive into Donald Trump’s social media account without notifying the former president.

X Corp. begged the Supreme Court in July to determine under what circumstances a tech company can be compelled to turn over information on its users, while being prevented from alerting those users that they’re being investigated.

When X Corp. challenged the order, it was found in contempt and fined $350,000. Prosecutors argued that notifying Trump of the search would endanger the evidence.

      It seems to me that Musk is trying to get deeper into politics, and one way to do that is to be a part of Trump’s cabinet. So I’d imagine he is bootlicking for the role. And it’s probably working.

      Two of his largest businesses depend on the US government being friendly to him. Space X and Telsa. The grift is in plain sight. “Please keep buying my rockets, and please don’t make life hard for EV manufacturers.”
