Musk’s political committee, America PAC, announced that Scott A, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, was the first to be gifted the surprise million-dollar donation for signing up
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.
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.
This was the moment for me when politics changed globally (I'm Canadian).
Regardless of policy this is when we all decided that you could be a disgusting human being and it didn't matter. I could respect differences of opinion regardless of if your opinion was to build a wall between America and Mexico, but to follow someone who openly admits to sexually assaulting women? Truly shows what his voters, and those who don't vote are about. Disgusting, the whole lot of them.
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.
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.
I'll still vote for Democrats because at least they aren't Traitors, actively trying to destroy America.
If you feel a bicycle is too underpowered, you don't stop using it, and start using a really dangerous, hillbilly-engineered backyard vehicle built by a bunch of ignorant yahoos, which regularly blows up, killing its occupants. You keep using the slower, safer bicycle until you can find a better option.
Yeah, Biden’s term was simply quiet. For the most part, the government ran properly and things didn’t break. But he also refused to actually spur the DOJ into action, because he didn’t want it to be seen as a frivolous witch hunt. He was more focused on keeping the peace than he was on actually protecting the country from domestic threats.
Damn, I could have written that word for word. Absofuckinlutely. If WWII taught us anything, its that you can't give Nazis one fucking inch, and they must be crushed without mercy.
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.
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...
Did you know that the MAGAites use the term, Cultural Marxism (it is even in Project 2025 documents) which comes from the Nazi German term, Kulturbolschewismus ("Cultural Bolshevism")?
MAGAites are indeed Hitlerites whom are too afraid to call themselves such.
Hitler had campaigned on the promise of draining the “parliamentarian swamp”—den parlamentarischen Sumpf—only to find himself now foundering in a quagmire of partisan politics and banging up against constitutional guardrails.
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.
