Summary
Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter to boost Republican support in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, backing GOP candidate Brad Schimel against Democrat Susan Crawford.
The donation is part of Musk’s America PAC efforts to flip the court and counter “activist judges.”
Musk has invested over $20 million in Schimel’s campaign, with more surprise donations promised before the April 1 election.
The race is seen as a pivotal political battle, while Tesla faces legal challenges in Wisconsin over direct car sales.
How is this fucking legal? Pretty sure buying votes is illegal.
It’s not. Just a question of whether that matters anymore.
It doesn’t.
I bet you it does matter. If I gave you $1 to vote for the opposing party candidate, I bet you I would get arrested. The difference is I’m not rich, so laws apply to me.
So is:
Etc.
It is illegal but Bidens DOJ set the precedent that musk would go unpunished in the 2024 election.
Explain
Elon Musk broke federal law in Pennsylvania when he tried this same lottery bullshit. It was discussed at length that Merrick Garland was either a coward or complicit in the overrun of the federal government. He also should have prosecuted Trump in his first term for the coupe attempt. The second run should not have been allowed to happen.
If I had to pick one person (other than Putin) who is the most responsible for all of this, I’d say Robert Mueller.
He had the best chance to put him down, and he bitched out.
Mueller did his job. Barr redacted the information before handing it to Congress. Congress tried to get the full report but Trump and Barr stonewalled them.
Barr distanced himself far from Trump after Jan 6th and no one brings up that guilty fuck anymore.
Harris did lol, she liked that all of his people were voting for her. Really worked out for her. Instead she should have been pushing for them all to stand trial.
Biden was a decent governmental manager, but we needed a President who was courageous enough to be more than that, and go after the existential threat of MAGA. HitlerPig and MAGA are the biggest national security threat this nation has seen since the Civil War, and Biden let us down by appointing not only a REPUBLICAN to be AG, but about the weakest Republican in existence. Then Biden didn’t push him to aggressively pursue HitlerPig, giving him a two year head start to run out the clock.
Bidens DOJ was so flaccid and lenient
A law that is not enforced is not a law.
That said: This was discussed the last time he claimed to be doing this. There are theoretically loopholes that boil down to “Say you support X and I’ll give you money. This is not legally binding as a vote” which likely would not hold up to a just court but…
Because there are neither consequences from the laws nor Luigi’s compelling him to stop.
Until someone forces that reckoning he’ll keep on destroying us all.
You can’t pay someone to vote a certain way, but what if you pay people who love {[interest that correlates strongly with republican support]} to vote.
You don’t pay people to vote a particular way, which would be illegal, but you get the result you want regardless.
