Elon Musk pledges to give away $1m per day to Pennsylvania voters

Every billionaire is an asshole.

Somewhere around 10 million in value you hit a point where every standard luxury is affordable for the rest of your life... maybe I'll excuse people who make 50 million - but the wealth these assholes have is from greedy hoarding, there are coworkers or employees that have been fucked over so that the billionaire could steal all that value.

Maybe they did it abstractly through speculation (which absolutely comes at the expense of others) or maybe directly (like Zuckerberg fucking over other early employees)... even Taylor Swift is guilty of this - it's insane that she charges anyone but the super wealthy any money for concerts at this point.

Every single fucking billionaire is an asshole.

Just like when he promised to donate to end world hunger to the world food bank and then backed out.

It could certainly be litigated, but there is probably enough grey area for Musk to get away with it.

It certainly won't get litigated in the next 2.5 weeks before election day. And if Trump wins, we know Trump's AG will not only not prosecute a thing related to Trump's friends, they will weaponize the DoJ against anyone who goes against Trump's friends.

It's not that grey. It is expressly illegal to pay someone to register to vote and a lottery prize is specifically called out in the statute as a forbidden form of compensation. It is a felony and punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

What CAH is doing is a grey area, paying people to create a voting plan isn't mentioned in the law so it skirts around the legality of it. This should probably also be illegal as a form of voter compensation but may require the law to be amended.

Wasn’t Tesla backsliding a few months ago because Democrats are kind of abandoning them? Living in California where every other car is a Tesla though, that was either short-lived or never true.
