I always suspected that Elon paid Abbott off for all of those state contracts. Abbott doesn’t give a fat rat’s sss how Elon is destroying a pristine wildlife refuge in South Texas. It’s called Boca Chica Wildlife Reserve. Elon called it a wasteland. I hate them both.

There’s the false accusation from a former state AG who should know better accusing someone of committing a crime based on zero evidence. Then there’s the behavior before, during and after. All of it really shows America what we already knew - Schmitt is scum.
