Attorney General Josh Kaul filed the lawsuit in county circuit court to stop Musk from making the payments, which he said he would make Sunday in Wisconsin. Musk initially said in a post on his social media platform, X, that he planned to “personally hand over” $2 million to a pair of voters who have already cast their ballots in the race.
Musk later posted a clarification, saying the money will go to people who will be “spokesmen” for an online petition against “activist” judges. After first saying the event would only be open to people who had voted in the Supreme Court race, he said attendance would be limited to those who have signed the petition.
I’d rather they arrest him, but I’ll still take it.
If this was done by a poor person (e.g. net worth of less than $500k) they would have.
We need to stop having different rules for the rich just because they can afford it.
It is absolutely mind blowing that he could even do this and then go on to pretend it’s just fine. Wild times
I SWEAR this exact thing already happened…like down to the spokesperson bullshit and everything.
If I lived there I’d take the money and vote against whatever this impotent chode wanted. Can’t be that hard to fool this moron.
I imagine Musk would want “proof” of some sort before paying. If he ever planned on paying at all, that is…
I can’t imagine he’d want anything that’s not too hard to forge. Usually voting is done with #2 pencil and a blot. Though it looks like he’s selecting long-time Republican fans that are vocal online, which isn’t surprising. Nobody new who would fall for this YouTuber level scam is going to win the other million.
Oh absolutely
If its like last time he will give the money to friends family under thejguisejof a lottery and the money will come back to him.
Yup, that’s my thought too. It’s a YouTuber level scam. I hate that I think it’ll be effective.
OMG look at this totally random winner!

He got sued in Pennsylvania for having a non legal lottery. His defense was that it wasnt a lottery. It was actually a scam and he had no intentions of giving the money to a random person. Therefor he wasnt paying the participants to register to vote nor was he conducting an illegal lottery.
Just more corruption, par for the course.
Money so dirty that he can’t give it away.
A bunch of people who were expecting to be paid to vote for someone they were probably going to vote for anyways now learn it is “the democrats” blocking that payment. This will probably make them even more likely to vote out of spite AND save Musk a bunch of money. Good job?
Why is there always a someone blaming the left for what the right is doing?
The person giving the money and the one receiving it both likely know this shit is illegal. So how is it the Dem’s fault for upholding the law? 🙄
That kind of sums up our current reality.
Someone cuts you off in traffic (or other illegal action) and if you honk they get mad at you for pointing out the fuck up.
“Why do anything at all” is not how you fight back against anything.
