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:
- grabbing women by the pussy.
- storming the capitol, killing cops, and smearing shit on the walls.
- stealing classified docs and storing them by the shitter at your gaudy estate.
- doing commercials for fucking Goya beans from the resolute desk, or for shitboxes from the WH lawn.
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.
I’m sure this is rigged. I doubt this asshole would just give anyone free money.
This was basically the case in the “sweepstakes” he did leading up the presidential election. They admitted in court that the winners were predetermined and that nobody actually had a chance to win, so it wasn’t buying votes.
But no charges for having a “rigged contest”? Or was it in the fine print and anybody that participated and was plainly told otherwise is SOL for not being a lawyer and reading what they signed?

Is this the same scam as last time, where these “winners” were actually paid spokespeople?

THIS IS FUCKING ASININE. FUCIEN BRIBERY IN THE OPEN SEND THIS FUCKER TO PRISON. IM SO SICK OF RICH PEOPLE CONTROLLING THE WORLD AND OUR LIVES WITH MONEY.
The law ain’t shit. It’s up to the people to impose justice.
Prisons aren’t viewed as a REAL possible punishment to those types - they can get pardons at the drop of a hat.
Consequences for those types must be irrevocable, and once that happens several times the others will fall in line.
Lol “donation”
I’d take his million dollars and tell him I’ll vote for whoever he asks for
Then go vote for the other side.
Same!
Wow! It would be REALLY REALLY Difficult for Him to END World Hunger when he’s SO STINGEY with his Money!
Imagine flexing on being able to end world hunger and deciding giving Nazis money was a better use of your dollars.
Did anything really happen after he tried this last time in Pennsylvania pre-election?
I’m hoping that enough people see through the insanity and don’t bite on the propaganda, the $100 if you vote for schimel, etc. I’m cautiously hopeful after the PA race where a trump +15 district flipped blue that there’s enough momentum to flip this the right way
Musk 2028
Ok, I’m kidding…
I mean there won’t be an election, but that’s the future at this point…
No… it’s really not, though.
What’s really not? If you think Trump or SCOTUS plan on allowing any sort of actual election to happen you’re sadly mistaken…
Barring something drastic happening, we’re cooked.
Negative Kimosabe. If that was a real actual possibility the protests would be real, and big and i would be a part of them.
No… if trump goes rouge and tries to stay in power, that is exactly why we bare arms.
I’ve seen so many now that are expressing great fear like yourself.
that is exactly why we bare arms
I don’t know how tank tops will stop trump but you do you. /s
But hey, remember when the overturning of roe v wade was just fear mongering and they wouldn’t really do it? How project 2025 wasn’t actually what they planned to do? How the supreme court would never grant broad immunity to a president? At this point, assuming Trump would try to keep power past 28 is just good sense.
Ok, I can see what you’re saying, but those things compared to Trump seizing control of the White House are much different things. I think yes, many idol worshipping Trumpsters would like Trump to take control, but that’s a small group compared to Republicans on the whole. Many Republicans own weapons for this reason. This is a democracy, everyone votes to choose our president. No wanna be dictators allowed.
Trump understands all this, he’s not going to start a civil war. If he does anything, I think he might try to make a 3rd term a thing, but he would do it through legal channels.
much different things
In scale maybe, but fundamentally it’s all about consolidating power and dismantling democracy.
but he would do it through legal channels.
Why start now? Also nothing short of a constitutional amendment can make that happen legally (unless the Supreme Court declares the constitution unconstitutional, hah). Even if he personally doesn’t retain power, I expect Republicans to dismantle the system to the point that they can just install another sycophant.
Stop blustering the whole we bare arms is just bull shit Americans tell themselves so they don’t feel bad when kids kill each other.
Lol right, no, it’s literally because we don’t want a tyrannical government. Also, look at England, that’s what we don’t want.
Gives us plenty of time to source the finest woods
