It's not about having a mistress. Huang is successfully controlling the narrative which is the actual shocker. Do people even realize Elon fucking Musk... exists?! You know, as in being a CEO of SpaceX and Tesla? The guy has more children with affairs than he attends board meetings and nobody ever cared.

It was never about that at all for Huang but about illegally smuggling hardware into China, cozying up to Trump and the Democrats subsequently sweeping the midterms. He fears for a harsh sentence under a different president so he wants this to be over quickly and get a pardon. It's blatantly obvious he controls the narrative to different affairs as soon as people start asking the actual questions and it's painful to see people falling for it.

Is he though? Public opinion doesn’t really matter and he’s already been summoned to testify before Congress about it.

Pretty sure the people that actually matter here are all about the illegal Chinese smuggling bit and not the sex.

Summoned to testify. How often do any of these investigations result in people going to jail? He’s rich af, so odds are nothing will happen to him.

Well, Congress has no ability to charge anyone with a crime. That’s the DOJ. And Congress has referred charges to the DOJ several times.

None. It’s not a legitimate court. It’s a court of public opinion, at best.

We'll see, but the original post is clearly not aware that the reason he's in trouble is because he just got caught doing big big crimes with his mistress.

The sex stuff is fine, no one cares. It's all the international crimes they were doing that is a no-no.

Yeah, that’s what I said?

He’s actually in trouble because of the criminal stuff. Not because some idiots online think it’s because of the affairs.

That was my point. Some dipshit twitter users aren’t actually affecting anything. He’s not “controlling the narrative” at all when he’s still facing a huge criminal shitstorm.
