The Pennsylvania voter registration initiate was legal, so I assume this is as well. I do want to say thank to your side for pissing off Elon. All your side had to do was invite him to the White House for the EV summit and not turn one of his kids trans 😁
Is someone allowed to offer (potential) money so people vote?
I thought it wasn't, but I could be wrong.
I don't think it matters anymore.

It should be illegal, but as Mark said, it doesn't really matter anymore. It should, but it just doesn't.

lol....Democrats have been doing get out and vote campaigns for years. The rocket scientist is just better at it. Instead of giving some dork movie star money, he gives it to the average person. As a liberal you should appreciate him giving the money to a working person 😁In Trump world, legal vs. illegal is of no concern. All they care about is whether they can get away with it.
There is a big difference between trying to convince people to vote and paying them to do so. How likely is someone to vote for the opposite candidate after getting paid to vote?lol....Democrats have been doing get out and vote campaigns for years. The rocket scientist is just better at it.

He's just trying to persuade them to vote, just like Democrats have been doing for years. I appreciate his methods because he's puts out in the open. You don't have to vote for the GOP to qualify for it. I thought Democrats were for higher turnouts?There is a big difference between trying to convince people to vote and paying them to do so.

Pretty much opening the door to paying people to vote against their interests.
Stop it Snarl you’ll hurt em!!!!He's just trying to persuade them to vote, just like Democrats have been doing for years. I appreciate his methods because he's puts out in the open. You don't have to vote for the GOP to qualify for it. I thought Democrats were for higher turnouts?
"Get out and vote" is a lot different than paying people to vote.lol....Democrats have been doing get out and vote campaigns for years. The rocket scientist is just better at it.

Ask yourself this - if you could talk to snarlcakes circa 2011-12 and some left boogie man like George Soros was offering money to Democratic voters, what do you think he'd say?
Everyone knows who Musk supports. Paying people is crossing the line.He's just trying to persuade them to vote, just like Democrats have been doing for years.

I believe the qualification was that the person had to sign the petition that states: "Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas. By signing below, I’m rejecting the actions of activist judges who impose their own views and demanding a judiciary that respects its role — interpreting, not legislating."Again, I have no idea how much the distinction matters, but eligibility for his giveaway doesn't (explicity) have anything to do with a party or candidate. It can be somebody who voted for the Dem candidate.
If I could talk to 2011-12 snarlcakes I'd tell him to buy a sh#t ton of Bitcoin and then mortgage a house and buy more Bitcoin. I don't have any issues with what Elon is doing. Politics ain't beanbags."Get out and vote" is a lot different than paying people to vote.

That’s exactly right. But there are morons here (including one guy who likes to use Latin phrases inappropriately and is convinced he's always the smartest person in the room) who insist fear of prosecution and jail time will keep Musk in check.I don't think it matters anymore.
Pissing off the most brilliant autist in the world to the point where he makes the demise of your political party his singular goal. Great move.The Pennsylvania voter registration initiate was legal, so I assume this is as well. I do want to say thank to your side for pissing off Elon. All your side had to do was invite him to the White House for the EV summit and not turn one of his kids trans 😁
Would that one guy be Eli?That’s exactly right. But there are morons here (including one guy who likes to use Latin phrases inappropriately and is convinced he's always the smartest person in the room) who insist fear of prosecution and jail time will keep Musk in check.
The only hope is a massive repudiation of this shitshow in November 2026.
The Soros family could do the same thing. But then they’d have to come out from the shadows and admit they aren’t just a Republican scapegoat.He's just trying to persuade them to vote, just like Democrats have been doing for years.

They like community level destructionThe Soros family could do the same thing. But then they’d have to come out from the shadows and admit they aren’t just a Republican scapegoat.
More effective that way. D.C. destruction takes a little bit to filter on down.They like community level destruction
Why should it be illegal?It should be illegal, but as Mark said, it doesn't really matter anymore. It should, but it just doesn't.
Why do you think Musk is offering the chance at two, one million dollar checks?Why should it be illegal?
Given all his work for the DOGE completely out of the kindness of his heart, maybe he should donate the money to the govt instead to work on the deficit.Why do you think Musk is offering the chance at two, one million dollar checks?
I'll answer your question if you answer mine.Why do you think Musk is offering the chance at two, one million dollar checks?
Why would he donate his money to the government when he thinks the gov isn’t worth a shit and needs doge. How stupid are you hickoryGiven all his work for the DOGE completely out of the kindness of his heart, maybe he should donate the money to the govt instead to work on the deficit.
because you shouldn't be able to buy votes/elections.I'll answer your question if you answer mine.
Well, I think he's buying votes. I know he's only giving out two checks, but the price of entry is to have voted. I know he could technically give the check to someone who voted against his own interest, but I doubt it. I don't think being deliberately vague about who the checks are going to should give him a pass here.I'll answer your question if you answer mine.
Oh brother. You have a lot to learn Hick.because you shouldn't be able to buy votes/elections.
Because the ability of an enormously wealthy person (or people) to buy systems access and election outcomes is the path to an oligarchy, if we’re not already there.Why should it be illegal?
I'd be fine with him focusing on rebuilding Tesla's brand, building better electric cars and rockets.Given all his work for the DOGE completely out of the kindness of his heart, maybe he should donate the money to the govt instead to work on the deficit.
It likely already is.It should be illegal
he did this because he hates woke with a passion. that much is obvious. twitter purchase. gov involvement.I'd be fine with him focusing on rebuilding Tesla's brand, building better electric cars and rockets.
That wasn’t enough for him.I'd be fine with him focusing on rebuilding Tesla's brand, building better electric cars and rockets.
I totally agree.he did this because he hates woke with a passion. that much is obvious. twitter purchase. gov involvement.
You have an incredibly jaded, cynical, and sad view on life and how the US government works - and what it should do.Oh brother. You have a lot to learn Hick.
What is Medicare, SS, Medicaid other than buying votes? Food stamps? BBB? Student loan forgiveness?
Democrats will always have an inherent advantage over republicans electorally given they are more willing to promise free money.
If he directly pays people to vote for his candidate, I'd agree with you. But he isn't and your doubt isn't evidence. If he does it, I'd assume some prosecutor in Wisconsin would go after him (the state AG, for example, is a Democrat) and pursuant to their statute, they should. Actually, as I read it, what he's doing might be illegal now, but I'm not sure this particular scheme should be. Paying people who already voted and who need not prove who they voted for doesn't strike me as that dangerous.Well, I think he's buying votes. I know he's only giving out two checks, but the price of entry is to have voted. I know he could technically give the check to someone who voted against his own interest, but I doubt it. I don't think being deliberately vague about who the checks are going to should give him a pass here.
Again, it doesn't matter unless someone decides to bring charges. Fat chance that will happen.
I have a constitutional view of how government should work. And while the programs I mentioned can be debated as serving the greater good, the people who implemented them knew full well they were buying votes.You have an incredibly jaded, cynical, and sad view on life and how the US government works - and what it should do.
