Elon Musk hands $1m to voter in desperate attempt to flip Wisconsin’s Supreme Court
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.
So is:
Etc.
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.
It is illegal but Bidens DOJ set the precedent that musk would go unpunished in the 2024 election.
Explain
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...
They’re calling for his arrest
Ah yes, I remember when we spend years calling for Trump's arrest, this should go well with speedy results..
Saw that, I'm not an optimist but I do have hope!
Just saw your handle, hilarious!
When you're a
republicanNazi, they just let you do it.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.
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.
Pretty sure law only applies to certain people sometimes.
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.
