Jesus titty-fucking Christ. If someone like George Soros were paying people to vote for Harris, right-wingers would be losing their collective shit and flinging it at the moon.
The double standard is amazing.
Well yeah, but this a white guy doing it-- so you know…it just CAN’T be wrong!
I’m going to slap the next person who tells me racism is over and everyone is treated equal.
How the hell is this even LEGAL? This is the state of our country? Really? Blatant bribing? Corruption? And it’s STILL a close race?
No water or other assistance for voters in contested areas.
Here’s $100 to say you like trump.
Man, this is a fucked up place.
No, say you like trump, sign this and that, …
…
…
then maybe, I mean who knows right? Maybe get paid. Donald always pays his debts so why shouldn’t his helper do it too?
Right?
the guy who famously never pays his vendors or his rent until he gets evicted is promising to send money?
wow sign me up…can we sign up, take his money, and vote Harris?
if a million people do this it adds up fast
The petition is saying you support free speech, the second amendment, and the Constitution. You can certainly support all of those and vote for Harris.
To all those wondering how this is legal: nowhere does it ask people to vote for Trump. The petition asks people to pledge their support for the Constitution, free speech, and the 2nd Amendment. Signing it does not indicate you are voting for Trump. But I could absolutely see the signatures being used for propaganda.
Shit sign me up! If Trump wins I get 100 dollars if he loses I get 100 dollars.
Wait is it really illegal for a billionaire to pay voters $100 from their own pocket for voters to sign a pledge? Even if the pledge was titled “so Trump wins”
Not sure if it is explicitly illegal but there would absolutely be lawsuits with good reason. Imagine a district where 51% of the people sign a pledge to vote for a candidate but the candidate only gets 47% of the vote and losses the election. The candidate with the pledged voters would scream voter fraud and their backers would likely get violent. Considering we had that happen with almost zero voter fraud in 2020, it would not be an unlikely scenario.

I’m not the one who said doing what is in the article was illegal. I’m the one saying that it is not illegal. Sorry that I have not memorized the entirety of voting law. If you want a legal opinion, go search a fucking law blog. Law is generally not black and white which is why there are legal opinions on every law but if you want the one referenced, it is 52 U.S. Code § 10307 section C:
© False information in registering or voting; penalties
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: Provided, however, That this provision shall be applicable only to general, special, or primary elections held solely or in part for the purpose of selecting or electing any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the United States Senate, Member of the United States House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, or Resident Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
So very likely yes, if Musk was paying people to pledge to vote for Trump, it would be illegal and would be punished by up to five years in prison. Paying people to pledge support for free speech, the 2nd Amendment, and the Constitution would not be.
Happy?
$100 ehh, I guess cards against humanity did get to him :D
Yo go get the money but then still vote Harris. What’s he gonna do lol?
Isn’t that fucking illegal?
If it were for actual votes, yes. But this is money for signing that a petition a PAC Musk runs has created.
Do I get the money first?
Edit: Aw, beans. It’s for Pennsylvania voters.
He could up that to $100k and never even notice
lol he will never deliver.
Buying votes straight up. The only way this could get any worse is if it was funded by Trump or if Trump did it himself.
It would be hilarious if Trump asked Musk for $100 for voting Trump though
Turnip does not pay any bills. He’s just a grifter.
I wouldn’t put it past Trump to beg for and attempt to haggle over $100.
As if he’ll pay them, can’t even pay his IT bills
won’t.
Of course he can, but he won’t
Give me the $100 first (completely and irrevocably non-retractable). After I (in my sole judgement and by my sole timeline) am 100% convinced it’s mine, then I’ll sign.
