No I don't think you could take a picture of your ballet in the 19th century when it was ruled illegal. So if it was illegal when the exchange was entirely faith based, how are reasoning pictures changes anything? That's not why the law was created and this exchange can absolutely be considered vote buying

By this logic it's historically impossible to buy votes since you can't go into the polling location with them. Buying a view is an agreement about what a person has agreed to vote for. Musk has made a very clear offer to give money for someone who agrees to support the first amendment and that a vote for Trump is supporting the the first amendment. If the person doesn't vote for Trump, by Musk's stated beliefs, they are not supporting the first amendment and therefore disqualified from receiving the money. He is attempting to buy votes.

Still, again, my point is regarding what is implied in this article which is that Musk is paying people to vote for Trump. You do agree that this is not the case, correct?

No. Musk goes to a rally and says vote for Trump to preserve your first amendment rights then offers money to people pledging to support first amendment rights. Stop playing dumb

Musk did go to a Trump rally and say specifically voting for Trump is to preserve your first amendment rights and then offered to pay for people to vote to protect their first amendment rights. That seems legally questionable to me.

Also why shouldn't things like this be brought up again? It should be brought up as long as he's on the bench or the party that got him there still has any authority

We didn't call the cold war a world war and that wasn't in a single country

I would have agreed with you in 2016 but if the last 8 years has shown me anything it's that Trump is normalizing the worst of people. He keeps saying the quiet part out loud till the right is screaming it

I'm not nor was I comparing it to anything. If you self immolate, that's a very strong indicator you're not mentally well. Again, I agree with their cause but it's really weird to imply they were mentally healthy when they decided to light themselves on fire and die horrifically

It's unfortunate Justin Roiland was on adventure time

I'm gonna say the guy that self immolated was not mentally well even if I agree with his cause

they operate in bad faith

I think that ship has sailed

If only we had laws for the judges that punish people who break the law. Sounds flawless since no one breaks the law

That is not the definition of greed, what are you taking about? I agree that irrational greed is driving it though

Couldn't be a pattern of the people he hires and ethics he's happy to not have? This isn't evidence that he's smart

With it compounding it's more like you lose half in ~5.5 years or am I missing something?
