Why This Matters
💰 Market Manipulation: Musk's Epstein claims crashed Tesla stock 14.2%
Single tweet wiped $152 billion from company market value in hours. Corporate leaders can destroy shareholder wealth through unsubstantiated political accusations.
📊 Democratic Influence Concerns: 51% of Americans believe Musk has excessive White House access
Public polling shows majority opposition to tech billionaire political influence. Only 13% want significant private sector control over government decisions.
⚖️ Justice Department Transparency: Classified files become political weapons during election cycles
FOIA battles and document releases get timed for maximum political impact. Democratic accountability suffers when transparency becomes partisan rather than systematic.
🔍 Evidence Standards: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary documentation
Explosive allegations demand verifiable evidence rather than social media speculation. Citizens must distinguish substantiated facts from political theater and conspiracy theories.
