Elon Musk accused of breaking the law with $1 million giveaways 

That's obviously NOT what's radical.

@@cinziam457 Uh, i think that was sarcasm lol

But so much of Mr Trump's words and actions run counter to the spirit of the constitution.

@@tomarmstrong1281 That's what the lefty constitution hating MS Media would tell you

I think this move will backfire quite badly, not from a legal standpoint, but from the sheer optics. It feels oddly insulting to me, even as someone who's not American. It seems to trivialize the financial struggles of the average person, especially the middle class, by baiting them with what they work hardest for-money. There's something deeply crass about using people's everyday struggles as the basis for a lottery. It's not just tone-deaf; it feels like a mockery of those who are already grappling with financial challenges, turning their hopes for stability into a game.

Maybe. But under a wealth tax, which I personal oppose, Elon might have to pay the govt. 20 billion dollars.

Creepy.

“Weird”? What does that even mean? Is it more “weird” putting tampons in boys toilets as Waltz has done? Is it weird offering prison inmates sex change operations? Is it weird pretending that a black servant in your grandparent’s home was your grandmother when your actual grandmother was Indian / white?

Like Kamala and Walz

He NEVER gave money away like that to a Democrat.

​@cinziam457 so he did donate to the democrats?

That’s right. So how can Democrats cry they are buying votes ?

"Offer valid from time of posting through 11:59 PM on 10/21. New signers only. $100 replaces standard $47 offer (not in addition to it) To be eligible, both the referrer and the petition signer must be registered voters of Pennsylvania."

Exactly, they just have to be registered to vote. He doesn't say they are required to vote or who they must vote for.

@@TwinFlames-xo3oi pretty sure even paying someone to register to vote is illegal

Except that he’s only doing it at a MAGA rally so if you can’t see the bias then you’re not very clever.

He's not asking them to vote. Do your research. It's about Free Speech for the American People or do you prefer they are controlled by what they are allowed to Put Out and View. Listen to Elons presentations rather than jump to conclusions.

​@@Rebelu833 Do read my comment. And read it again! i never mentioned any of the things you address in your comment. Vote? Free Speech? Elons presentations? weird!

He got power already 😊

Elon is not a liar like you libs.

Probably safety issues

Of course genius. DUH! For security issues.

@@PRBatman ya DUH! then what was the f*cking point of this clown show, genius?

No one tried pass it off as if they were open. You don't need to do "homework" to know that. They closed temporarily due to the need for security because there've been two attempts to unalive him from the ballot. No one was paid. You should do your home work so you don't accidentally spread misinformation (like "Joe is sharp as a tack", etc.). But, sure, people who line up for blocks in hopes of meeting him and get served fries by him could be called "supporters", sure. But they had to be screened by SS to ensure they didn't have weapons in their car, of course.

Democrats have already tried to assassinate him several times, so yeah......

Then your best course of action is to go earn $250 billion dollars and then spend it as you wish.

​@thomaslikens8391 well stated!

Best ask Trump, he’s being doing that since the start. He even paid folk to cheer him coming down an escalator.

Sure, but by doing this he is showing the entire world what a foolish person he is. Its shameful.

IF he's breaking the law, then yes he CAN be told how to spend it.

Yes, they can. If he is found to be influencing an election then they have every right to investigate

Actually that might be the way it works in Russia or some banana republic. But in democratic countries there are laws.

Wow to be so simple minded. It's against the law to pay people to register to vote... so he's skirting around that by offering a million dollars a day to registered voters... which does what? Encourages people to register to vote to win the 'lotto'... which is illegal.

Doesn’t matter. It’s a federal crime to pay folk to register to vote. It’s also a federal crime to award government funding to any company that he owns if convicted. SpaceX and Tesla workers and managers say he’s a lousy manager and only shows up once a week.

the problem is they are required to be registered to vote. Paying someone to even register to vote is illegal, so this isn't a good look and could be illegal

@@Runny117 That's not what's happening. Don't try to make a connection that isn't there. And yes, it's looking DAMN GOOD because Elon has a massive legal team. You thought they didn't clear this stuff before doing it? Why would anyone even think it's illegal? That's the part that's just astonishing.

@@cocotower Pretty sure it's illegal. Anyway, why would we invite an oligarch to pay people to influence an election?

Reducing overreach of power is a great idea.

Great point!

It’s against the law and a lot of people are going to do it, so it’s going to be about money and not so much about voting and there are going to be a lot of problems.

Yes Republicans use tax payers $$$$$s !!! : (

Says the one in Scamala's cult

@@tamitribbiani7907 nup......aussies can't vote, but we don't think sending Ukrainian children into Russian servitude is a good look. The 'principled' Musk doesn't see a problem.

what is he doing then?

The tolerant Federal laws say its a crime to pay anyone to register to vote. Musk has plenty of well paid lawyers that he could have asked.

Jews always be Jewing.

- Promise an assasine money, but NOT paying, make it OK? - Naturally opting for Police protection, against a proven killer, if hedgeing fall through... 'The NEW America'? ( Sweden )

@@MartinLundström-l4v lying to people is legal.

Who says he won't pay them?

@@tamitribbiani7907 if we're lucky he will!

No it wouldn't, he can have a petition for anything he wants!

@@tamitribbiani7907 Elon Musk’s offer violates federal election law under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c), which prohibits offering payments in exchange for registering to vote or voting. Specifically, this law makes it illegal to offer or accept payments for voter registration or voting actions. Since Musk’s giveaway required participants to be registered voters, some legal experts argue this could be seen as an inducement to register​

There are laws around how money is spent in politics and campaigning. That's what the "Hush Money" trial was all about: FRAUD.

What you're proposing Harris to do is a security nightmare. She's in office; Donald is not.

That MIckey D's failed health inspection, so those eaters might've gotten more than they bargained for.

Ooh McDonalds will really suffer😂

No, he isn't. Elon THINKS he can get away with anything because Trump does, but he's clearly breaking the law.

Gaming laws?

of course

Whew...! Well, long as they have TwinFlamesxo3oi's GUARANTEE, the authorities needn't even look into it! Nuff sed!!! 🦃😬🦃

The name Trump next to a cross .. is that satire?

YOu mean the FASCIST, EVIL, PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, NARCISSIST, SEXUAL ASSAULTER (27), FRAUDSTER?

@danmayberry1185 That is correct. But the question is issue for the better or for the worst. And do you believe in truth.?? That is up to the individual and their faith. I believe that what our country is going through is a key factor. And I am putting my faith in God. After seeing Harris commit towards the individual the other day. I rebuke her in the name of Jesus, amen. 🙏🙏🙏✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🗳🗳🗳

They've broken no laws, unlike your cult leader!

I KNOW, BUT THEN THEY DO SUPPORT KAMALA

You first.

He's an amazing man. He gives money away all the time. Let him give it to people who need it. He believes in freedom. You'll just wish you had a tiny little bit of his intelligence and ability to make crazy ideas come real!

Shuerly you jest.

Who you?

What makes him so horrible? What is your contribution to humanity,

You wouldn't say that if he were supporting your cult leader.

He is your saviour?

If you say something bad about Musk on X, it gets deleted. So that's freedom.

He is your orange cult leader. There is nothing that you on the right can say that is truthful against 90% of the items that are brought against TRAITOR TRUMP. There is no truthful resource when i.e. the election was stolen. 60 court cases 60 losses. His peaceful Patriots store in the US capital. There was nothing legal or peaceful about those people storing the capital, as well as a Confederate flag in the capital. Nancy Pelosi's husband got attacked with a hammer from somebody on the right The former president laughed and they jokes about it and so did you people on the right, that shows your mentality and the fact you're in a cult. 40 out of 44 of his top cabinet and top personnel to Trump in his first term will not support him again because they know who he is. The absolute bull about President Biden that he is the most corrupt president, Trump was the most corrup president. Biden serve this country for 50 years patriotically Trump tried for 4 years and is ready to go on trial once he loses this election and be placed in jail where he belongs. You can go out and on all night there's enough against trader Trump the feeling essay and then some

Who has lost their freedom of speech? Apart from authors banned from libraries, of course.

@@IanDavies-gy4mg I do know that you can not saying anything bad about Biden or else you will be getting banned from social media for 1 whole years. I myself got banned from instagram for 1 whole year for calling Biden Lucifer because of the military’s dogs that got left behind on the days the Americans troops withdraw from Afghanistan. Since that days I am calling Biden God.

Someone is jealous of the billionaire.

Seriously? That’s the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard. Influencing an election is different than giving money to the poor. Ffs

Because they don't like who he supports.

On what charges exactly?

You can and you should!

You should be in prison

Nobody in their right mind votes for that traitor.

It's about HOW the money is spent. There are STRICT laws...

@@cinziam457 but he didnt specifically asked to vote for a specific person didnt he? Even if he did..a million?..the proportion is way off..so i dont see any issue there..its HIS money

No. He just set up a multi-million dollar trust to work on diseases, especially those affecting poorer countries. He's also in the process of giving away most of his fortune. Nothing like as good as chucking the odd million at random people, of course.

It was a photo shoot at a closed McDs. Security must have been tight.

@@AnotherPointOfView944 It was not closed, people were going through the drive through.

Thats a lie. McDonalds only know who has worked in their OWN outlets, not all the franchises. There are vastly more McD franchises than own run outlets. You would have to go around every single franchise in the US and ask if Kamala worked there, which is totally impractical. Get your facts straight, or dont you care?

@@AnotherPointOfView944 I thought all McDonalds where basically franchises nowadays. I was thinking they have a way of confirming the info. But you make a good point and I will double check on that.

How do you know he hasn't?

well that's alright then

It’s illegal to pay people to register to vote and this includes lotteries so yeah. He is.

​​@@liminalkidhe's not paying anyone to register to vote. If you register to vote that's your right as a US citizen. No one is being paid directly or indirectly for registering to vote. It's not mentioned nor inferred. Legally, Musk is in the clear.

Do you actually believe Musk. Idiot

@liminalkid no he's not ! It's about signing a petition first off ya card! It's not even about voting!!! Secondly I would happily sign that petition with or without a million dollars 💸 and so would millions of other people! 👫

Assuming you are 30+, do you have proof of your part time work when you were 18? No didnt think so.

Last time I checked, you can’t influence an election and if he’s found doing it then he can be in trouble so not sure why they need to shut up when it’s a valid conversation

He's buying votes. Idiot

No matter who
