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 pe ion in support of the First and Second Amendment. … We are going to be awarding $1 million randomly to people who have signed the pe ion, 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 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.
If the SC says it's illegal, he should stop.
How's that?
Weird evasiveness, tbh.
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.
looks tawdry and desperate, could net out against Trump
Reminds me of zuckbucks and his 400 million
Reminds me of Doj demanding Facebook censor thinks especially the hunter biden story
Reminds me of soras buying 200 radio stations and fcc fast tracking them (usually takes over a year) and it did not even take a year
If you are not registered to vote or you don’t sign the petion you do not qualify
He is not making anyone vote !
Full force whataboutism mode
It’s so funny that the Left keeps crying that scary billionaire Elon Musk is influencing politics when the only campaign surrogate on air for Kamala is Mark Cuban
This is s stupid sentence.
Your sentence is stupid.
Steal a better sentence.
"While stumping..."
Today's social media level journalism
"Sen. Mark Kelly to fly across the state stumping for Kamala Harris"

It's been a pretty common word for well over a century.
How is it stealing
Musk is not forcing anyone to vote
Have you actually lived anywhere?
Today's A.I. level social media hallucinations.
818 job reports that was a lie
Harris and Biden regime
FBI just came out crime is not down like they said
Another Lie
Are they trying to steal another election
Most would not have voted for Biden over the hunter biden story
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
Was to big anyhow
Then why did they let it come out?
Too big for what?Was to big anyhow
