Comment on Supreme Court rejects appeal by Elon Musk's X on disclosing federal surveillanceparent

Comments

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.

Snowden released thousands of documents to propagandists like Glen Greenwald, that went on to publish information outside the scope of what could be protested under the constitution. He is a traitor, and deserves everything he got.

What would you do?

Report illegal activity. Definitely not run propaganda for foreign adversaries.

Should have been more selective of what he leaked.
