Elon Musk Veers Into Clearly Illegal Vote Buying, Offering $1 Million Per Day Lottery Prize Only to Registered Voters

Blatantly illegal.

But Biden won't step up and make Garland do his job.

Just throw it on top of the giant piles of reason "not trump" isn't enough to fight fascism.

We need people actually willing and able to fight, best case scenario for Biden is he's only one of those things.

And as president, he's clearly able to direct the DOJ, if he believes he shouldn't be able, that makes him unwilling to fight fascism.

The Supreme Court: “This is fine as long as it remains Republicans only…”

This is a case where max jail time is needed. 5 years for each bribe.

The best part about this is that unlike a lot of the other illegal shit his PACs are doing, Musk can't separate himself from it and say he wasn't personally involved. He personally handed out the giant check.

If Harris wins, and if her administration actually decides to crack down on this shit, Musk could end up behind bars. I'm not holding my breath, but it's a still a pleasant thought.

Elon Musk and promising people money you'll never actually pay out. Name a more iconic duo

Donald Trump, such a great candidate that you have to pay people and offer them cash prizes to get people to vote for him...

That's the message here.

Put him behind bars for that and I start believing that the government takes this vote seriously.

... shall be fined not more than $10,000 ...

Pocket change.

Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality, this one is clearly illegal. See 52 U.S.C. 10307(c): “Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…” (Emphasis added.)

I mean, if it’s clearly illegal then can we, you know, apply the law?

I mean, I guess I would take a million dollars from a deluded billionaire, but I would still vote for Harris.

So something is going to happen to him right? RIGHT?!?

The worst part is, he isn't even American. Imagine if Americans would go into a foreign country and try to influence the elections... Oh wait.

What's stopping people from applying to his "lottery" and just not voting Trump?

He will claim is was a joke in court.

Stupid rich people trying to take advantage of 'stupid' poor people.

i'm telling yall. this is a self defense situation.

“Illegal” is just a joke at this point

Cut out the media advertisers, bribe voters directly. Progress.

Putin rubbing his fingers with glee rn. If this doesn't get prosecuted, I know what he'd do.

Everyone talking about how illegal this is but I doubt it is. It does not say you have a vote a certain way. You just have to be a voter and sign his petition to be eligible.

Rich people feel like they can do anything they want and usually the law lets them do so. I hope he faces some type of punishment for this.

This immoral prick continues to push my Stoic practise to its limit.

You can't buy popularity, Elon. Ask your buddy Donald

If this is illegal, does that mean Cards Against Humanity's recent voting stunt is also? Edit: thanks for the drive-by down vote, it really doesn't help the discourse. I'm mainly wondering if CAH has opened themselves up to a bunch of legal liability.

But if he was selling loose cigarettes on an NYC street...

Hate that I'm writing something that defends Garland a bit but arresting Musk two weeks before the election could be a huge backfire.
