While stumping for former President Donald Trump on Saturday, tech billionaire Elon Musk announced that he will give away $1 million each day to registered voters in battleground states, immediately drawing scrutiny from election law experts who said the sweepstakes could violate laws against paying people to register.

“We want to try to get over a million, maybe 2 million voters in the battleground states to sign the petition in support of the First and Second Amendment. … We are going to be awarding $1 million randomly to people who have signed the petition, every day, from now until the election,” Musk said at a campaign event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania."

So?

Isn't paying people, even indirectly via "sweepstakes", to register, a crime? Like, it hearkens back to signing up Irishmen fresh off the boat during the gilded age.

"Most states make it a crime only to pay people to vote, said Muller, who is also a CNN contributor. He said it’s rare for federal prosecutors to bring election bribery cases, and that the Supreme Court has been narrowing the scope of bribery statutes."

So?
So if it's illegal should he stop?

If the SC says it's illegal, I'm sure he will stop

That wasn't the question.

How's that?

Not saying it'll actually lead to consequences. Clearly, a lot of country is ok with corruption, bribery, etc as long as it's billionaires or the powerful doing it.

The question is, is one voting because they have a chance at a cool mil? IE, registering to vote for a reason other than your civic duty. That seems like it would fall into the scope of election bribery. NAL, maybe one can chime in.

Reminds me of zuckbucks and his 400 million

What is the Hunter Biden story?

Why would an administration revise numbers unfavorably before an election it was "trying to steal"?

They got caught lying
They did not want that to come out before the rate cut

So by that logic why would most vote for Trump over the 34 felony count story?

Farage to support Trump in upcoming US election

Nigel Farage said becoming an MP meant he would spend less time in the US supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but believed the Republican's re-election was “absolutely vital” for world peace.

The Reform UK leader was elected as MP for Clacton, one of five seats his party secured at the 2024 general election.

Mr Farage spoke at several rallies during Mr Trump’s 2016 campaign, but has told the BBC this time “it’ll be a couple of flying visits”.

“I passionately believe that Trump is the right person to be the next president,” Mr Farage said.
