At what point can we call it treason and get him on trial?

He is probably pretty far away. Legally, we have to be at war with Russia, and then there needs to be some overt act. Thoughts won't do it. Or there needs to be some sort of armed rebellion against the United States.

Even those Americans who spied for the Soviets like Robert Hansen or Aldridge Ames were not tried for treason. We weren't at war with the Soviets.

The last time we convicted any Americans of treason were defectors to Germany, and the radio people like axis Sally. There was also some weird case where a german-born tavern owner in Detroit got the death penalty for harboring a German escaped POW but it was later commuted to life. But all those were during world war II.

If not treason (though honestly seems like it is), there has a number of laws broken to personally engage with a disfavored foreign leader while actively engaged as a defense contractor. Harris has to win of course for anyone to give - rip, and has to dump Garland immediately

God willing she wins, dumping milquetoast Merrick has to be a tippy top priority, I agree.

Elon Musk Appears to Have Stopped His $1 Million Voter Giveaway

Voter registration has closed in Pennsylvania anyway, so he probably doesn't feel a need to keep doing it.

Elon Musk’s PAC has been giving away a $1 million prize every day to a random registered voter in one of several swing states who sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. The organization has also promised $47 to every registered voter who signs the petition. But it was reported yesterday that the Justice Department warned the group that the activity could be violating federal election law, and now it appears the giveaway has abruptly stopped.


Axios reports that Musk’s America PAC, as the pro-Trump group is called, curiously did not announce a winner of the $1 million prize on Wednesday.

Critics have said Musk’s giveaway was a thinly-veiled attempt at buying votes for Trump. The youth turnout in the U.S. is historically low, and the $1 million giveaway was only open to registered voters in states like Pennsylvania that could go to either candidate, suggesting that Musk was attempting to encourage the disillusioned to register—and return the favor of his giveaway by tipping the vote in Trump’s favor.

How long until he officially proposes replacing the federal income tax with tariffs?

I've said before, he'll say anything if he thinks it'll get him a vote between now and Nov. 5th. No matter how stupid it is in reality. Again, these are things he believes stupid people will think sound smart.

Whether he'd actually follow thru with this lunacy is open to question, I guess? Most things he he says he'll do, I take his word for - he's shown in the past he'd at least try. This seems so obviously, catastrophically dumb, that I'm not sure I believe he'd actually see it through. But then again, he only cares about Nov. 5th and not a single day after. If he gets elected, he's triumphed. Period.

I doubt he cares what price the country would pay for implementing the stupid ideas he spewed to get elected.

He crossed that Rubicon at a staged barbershop event earlier this week.
 
To respond directly to the thread title: to be completely fair, his (cult) supporters haven't figured it out yet either. The "do your own research" crowd doesn't seem keen on following its own advice.
