I’ve been thinking more about this thought that I had, posted the other day. What if it was Elon Musk whom our government had summarily deported to a prison hellhole in El Salvador without due process, due to an “administrative error”, rather than Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia?
Perhaps poor Elon would keep a daily diary. He might do this both to maintain his sanity and to distract himself from whatever daily tortures were being meted out by his Salvadorian guards.
Rubbing his now bald head (all prisoners are shaved when they first enter the prison), Elon might wish to put pen to paper to record his daily thoughts.
Of course it is not clear how he could obtain either pen or paper. Being an enterprising individual, he might provide his guards with sexual favors in return for basic writing materials.
Perhaps Mr. Musk will hear the encouraging news that the U.S. Supreme Court has told the U.S. government to “facilitate and effectuate” his return. Alas, he might also notice the ambiguous wording of that ruling.
Any attempt to bring Elon Musk back to the U.S., according to the SCOTUS decision, should be done “with due regard for the deference owed to the executive branch in the condust of foreign affairs.” In other words, Elon might be stuck in that hellhole in El Salvador for a very long time.
Meanwhile, he may write in his diary about fun activities that he is organizing for his fellow prisoners. Perhaps he is taking the initiative to introduce them to the wonders of National Socialism. Maybe, with his encouragement, they can organize their very own volksgemeinschaft.
I guess we won’t know for sure until we read those diaries. Which, according to what we understand so far of the administration’s response to the Supreme Court decision, might not happen for a very long time.
