🚨 GOVERNOR GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action.
The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk.
Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections.
The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas.
The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment.
With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Gina Hinojosa has issued no December deadline or ultimatum to Elon Musk or Tesla on taxes. As Governor-elect she takes office January 19 2027; recent comments address data center regulations not specific tax demands.

BREAKING: “IS THERE A CRIME THERE”? Dana Bash goads Attorney General Todd Blanche into admitting that congressional Democrats may face CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS and possible PRISON TIME!
Donald Trump's Attorney general Todd Blanche refused on national television to rule out throwing Democratic lawmakers in prison Sunday as CNN's Dana Bash grilled him over the president's order to investigate his political opponents.
Bash pointed out that Democrats were preparing to exercise their constitutional oversight powers when they take control of Congress in January.
“Wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!” Blanche interrupted, accusing Democrats of threatening Trump administration officials with investigations and impeachment.
“So are you saying that you are going to investigate them?” Bash demanded. “And what you just described, is there a crime there?”
“Well, it depends on what's said,” Blanche replied. “So yes, there could be.”
Bash then confronted him with Trump's demand that Democratic lawmakers be imprisoned.
“Is that a possibility?” she asked.
“Well, it depends on what the crime is and what they've done,” Blanche answered.
Blanche insisted that Democrats had gone beyond legitimate oversight by threatening investigations of Trump officials, particularly newly promoted White House chief of staff Stephen Miller.
And when Bash pressed him about Rep. Robert Garcia, the incoming House Oversight Committee chairman who told Miller to “lawyer up,” Blanche offered to send Garcia a copy of the Constitution.
Ha ha, funny guy. Who also thinks he’s a tough guy:
“I would be very worried if I was a member on that committee.”
Democrats haven't even taken control of Congress yet, and Trump's attorney general is already raising the possibility of criminal investigations against the lawmakers preparing to investigate him.
Let the games begin.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is planning to force a vote on his resolution to impeach Hegseth for allegedly defying Congress and illegally continuing the U.S. war in Iran.

A husband and wife were killed by a bomb placed under their bedroom, on Christmas night, on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
They ran the NAACP in their state.
Nobody was ever prosecuted. Guess the year.
1951. Harry T. Moore and Harriette Moore. Mims, Florida.
He had been a schoolteacher. He was dismissed for his civil rights work. He then organised full time — registering tens of thousands of Black voters in Florida, and investigating lynchings and police shootings when nobody else would.
On Christmas night 1951, a bomb detonated beneath the bedroom of their home. It was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.
He died on the way to hospital. The nearest hospital that would admit Black patients was over thirty miles away.
She died nine days later.
They are often described as the first martyrs of the modern civil rights movement — killed four years before Emmett Till, thirteen before the Civil Rights Act.
The FBI investigated. Florida reopened it more than once, most recently in the 2000s, and investigators named Klan members long dead as the likely perpetrators.
Nobody was ever prosecuted.
Most people date the civil rights movement from Montgomery in 1955. The Moores were organising, and were killed for it, before that — and the reason the date surprises people is that the story was not taught.

Todd Blanche, the DOJ is not Stephen Miller’s personal law firm. Taxpayer-funded attorneys don’t exist to shield White House officials from congressional oversight or accountability.
You’re the Attorney General, not Miller’s defense attorney. There’s a fucking difference.

You know what we would love to see? Senators Abdul El-Sayed and Annie Andrews absolutely GRILLING Health Secretary RFK Jr. during an official Senate Hearing.
Once they're sworn in in January, the real fun begins...
El-Sayed is an MD, has a doctorate in public health, and was an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia. Andrews was a pediatric hospitalist and a professor of pediatric medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina.
RFK is an unqualified quack who has overseen the total collapse of public health in this country, perhaps most notably with the anti-vaxxer wave that he helped popularize and the subsequent measles outbreak he failed to contain.
Andrews has already vowed to "lead the charge to impeach and remove RFK Jr." and she has good reason to want him gone. Her home state of South Carolina was hit especially hard by measles, with nearly 1,000 documented cases that resulted from parents failing to vaccinate their children.
Imagine the finely-tuned, expert questions that these two would be able to hammer him with. At every turn, Kennedy's profound ignorance and negligence would be put on display. Picture him spluttering and growing redder as his humiliation mounts. It's exactly what this monster deserves.
Democrats, make it happen!
Please ❤️ and share if you'd LOVE to see this happen!

We're on the ground in Mississippi, and we're not backing down.
Today, we sent a letter to the County Election Clerk on behalf of voters, because every vote must be counted according to the law.
Mississippi showed up. Now, we're showing up for Mississippi.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of government employees and taxpayer-funded resources to create a self-promoting video attacking Democrats and other political opponents probably violated federal law, government watchdogs said. wapo.st/3UDCpdJ

Nothing to see here. Just Trump appointing his own Joseph Goebbels as Chief of Staff. Put Stephen Miller beside the original Nazi propaganda minister and the resemblance is uncanny. If this isn't a five-alarm warning, what the fuck is?
