Citizens United effectively cemented the corporatocracy.
We should be afraid of the Musk/Thiel/ Trump agenda.

Hardly, but this is a good sign, that the Socialist establishment are getting closer to a cliff. Tick, tick, tick…
I think so as well.

He should sue him for hopping around like a (what was the term Waltz used?) as well.

I can't believe that they're not going to put a stop to this until after the election has been decided.
Musk is clearly breaking the law. You can't turn a presidential election into the Super Lottery.
bass4funk
Prove it.
Hearing that from libs….seriously, don’t go there, libs can’t say anything or criticize anyone on bribing or cheating.

It's illegal to induce someone to vote. whether for a specific candidate or not.
Ben and Jerry's once got sued for giving free ice cream to people with "I voted stickers." They had to stop that campaign.

Yeah. Seriously, don't go there. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but don't go there. reeee

It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote
Hmm…never liked their ice cream anyway, overpriced, overrated.
Eeexactly!
Cards fan
Yes. It's illegal for noncitizens to vote. It's also illegal to induce citizens to vote.
Woooooossshhhh
bass4funk
Ok, I’m glad you said that.
We shall see.

it’s illegal to have a lottery to entice people to register to vote.
read the bloody law.
trump and musk are always trying to play cute with the law.
musk, the illegal immigrant who now hates immigrants. the hypocrisy is staggering.
Cards fan
I'm telling you, it is. If you can't give someone a free ice cream because they voted, why can you have a lottery where one of the rules of eligibility is voting?

Illegal blood emerald legacy and government subsidy loving illegal migrant worker Elon Musk.

I know the vagueness of the law, so let it go to court and see what happens, that’s it. Getting mad at the guy won’t help your case, especially if you’re a noncitizen.
Dems as well
He is legal, naturalized, continue
Prove it.

Deport the admitted "illegal immigrant" who violated US law by overstaying his visa...
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/oct/26/elon-musk-illegal-immigration
Isn't that what Trump's whole campaign is based on? Ridding us of those foreigners that are "poisoning our nation's blood?
bass4funk
Here we go with that crap again….

So, are Teslas all "hoaxes" and "crap" that have to be recharged every 30 minutes, or are they "wonderful and fantastic"?

Do you always copy and paste that same line Beers? Harris is not the one trying to give away money to convince people to vote, read the article.
Blacklabel
What?
she just offered 1 million Black men $20,000 “forgivable” loans to open businesses (weed stores, she recommends)
forgivable how? By proof of voting for her, likely,
Ken
You actually think that is the same thing? What does the word "loan" mean?
Blacklabel
”forgivable loan” you forgot word.
Forgivable- a loan you don’t have to pay back, if you meet certain conditions.
then the loan is “forgiven “ which then would be just a cash payment given for voting for Kamala.
Ken
Ken
Betting markets aren't a viable source lol
Blacklabel
Yep, conditions: such as voting for Kamala. She’s not forgiving your loan if you don’t vote for her, that’s obvious to anyone.
also it’s unconstitutional to offer to only “Black men”.
but yeah blather on about Elon. So glad your team forces him to come to our side, talk about a stupid thing to do.
Underworld
bass4funk
Yes. It's illegal for noncitizens to vote.
And non-citizens aren't voting.
Ken
You have such a weird imagination, that's not what the condition is. She isn't giving the loan to them from a check she wrote herself. You do understand that right?
Blacklabel
yeah even worse: shes offering US government tax payment money to a specific racial group in return for their vote, because that group doesn’t want to vote for her.
Underworld
Blacklabel
Well not obvious at all. If she gets elected President, but you didn't vote for her, you are still eligible.
Doubt it. Trumps biggest tax cuts went to "rich folks".
For breaking the law subverting democracy. Sure.
By I get that MAGA don't really care if you break the law or subvert democracy. No biggie to them.
He's supporting Trump so that China get huge tariffs slapped on imported EVs. That would really help Tesla.
Blacklabel
we know Elon’s condition: simply register to vote in certain states.
what’s Kamala’s condition?
Underworld
Blacklabel
that's not what the condition is
Which is illegal.
There is none.
Blacklabel
Claim: Harris is not the one trying to give away money
to: she is giving money. But it’s not HER OWN money and there are unknown conditions that we don’t know at all what they are cause she didn’t bother to tell us but they not what youuuuuu say they are!
that’s a loss.
moving on!
Some dude
I wonder if it bothers most Americans (i.e. not the MAGA types who would probably cheer a US Tiananmen Square event if it was "libs" who were the victims) that the rest of the world is going to start seeing the USA as a place where an election is simply a matter of who can flash more money around and sail as close as possible to the edge of legality (as opposed to, say, winning on the strength of one's platform).
Underworld
Blacklabel
Just like Trump's tax cuts.
Are you against those too?
Blacklabel
his tax cuts are only for Black men who agree to vote for him when they don’t want to?
