Summary
Elon Musk and his America PAC face lawsuits in Texas and Michigan from voters claiming they were misled by Musk’s million-dollar giveaway, which allegedly promoted itself as a random sweepstakes.
Plaintiffs Jacqueline McAferty and Robert Anthony Alvarez argue they wouldn’t have provided personal information or signed a petition if they’d known winners were chosen based on their support for Donald Trump, rather than randomly.
Musk’s lawyer recently revealed that the PAC selected winners from swing states as spokespeople, contradicting claims of a nonpartisan, random giveaway.
It absolutely should be. Do you want wealthy people to be able to offer poor and/or homeless people $100 to vote for candidate X?
Because that’s not a hypothetical, that shit used to happen all of the time.
I did not say that, in that I 100% agree with you but is not what was suggested. Bribing people to vote for X is completely different to bribing people to vote fullstop.
