The former Secretary of Labor’s proposals extend beyond just legal action. Reich also suggests that Tesla, Musk’s electric vehicle company, should be boycotted, urging businesses to cease advertising on the X platform. Additionally, he calls for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to sue Musk into “oblivion,” canceling all government contracts with his companies as part of a broader strategy to weaken Musk’s influence. Reich’s multifaceted approach underscores his belief that Musk’s influence is not only a corporate issue but a political one as well, with implications for the upcoming presidential election. “Defeat Donald Trump in November,” Reich added, linking Musk’s power to the broader political landscape.
Musk, known for his unapologetic and often combative presence on social media, responded to Reich’s column with characteristic sarcasm, referring to Reich as a “sweety.” This dismissive retort is emblematic of Musk’s approach to criticism, often deflecting with humor rather than direct engagement. However, the underlying tension between Musk and his critics continues to escalate, with calls for action against him becoming more frequent and intense.
Reich’s column is not an isolated instance of calls for Musk’s arrest. The Guardian, which has consistently criticized Musk’s handling of the X platform, previously published columns from former Twitter executive Bruce Daisley and writer Jonathan Freedland, both of whom advocated for legal measures against Musk. Daisley, in particular, emphasized the effectiveness of personal sanctions over corporate fines, arguing that an arrest warrant could serve as a powerful deterrent. “Were Musk to continue stirring up unrest, an arrest warrant for him might produce fireworks from his fingertips, but as an international jet-setter it would have the effect of focusing his mind,” Daisley wrote.
This latest call from Reich further fuels the ongoing debate over Musk’s role in shaping public discourse and the responsibilities of tech executives in regulating content on their platforms. As Musk continues to champion free speech, his critics argue that his actions enable the spread of misinformation and hate, raising questions about the balance between freedom and accountability in the digital age.

The growing consensus among certain political and media figures that Musk should be stopped “at all costs” suggests that the battle over free speech and corporate influence is far from over. As this narrative unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Reich’s calls for global action will gain traction, or if Musk’s dominance in the tech world will continue unchallenged.
The only thing Reich is concerned about is Musk is better position than he and his Marxist friends to advocate for freedom as opposed to the lefts serfdom.
