You can't force someone to vote for your candidate once they enter the election booth. This sounds like a way to make some easy money.

The $47 will never come. This is another grift/scam and probably crossed into illegal territory. Musk is desperate cause he knows if Trump loses that his career and reputation will be ruined.

Sounds like a good way make money off of a lawsuit settlement.

I'm sure the Supreme Court justices will make an excuse as to why it is okay for him to do it.

I'll take his mother's advice:

"You don’t have to register to vote. Have 10 fake names, go to 10 petitions and sign 10 times. That’s $4700, and it’s not illegal."

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Would it be illegal to put a bunch of fake names on that petition? I wonder...

It’s basically selling your data to a cunt. Only works if you live in a swing state and have a “referer” whom you can sell their data too.

He claims he’ll check but you could probably get away with a real address but fake names.

I mean, you could probably make a tidy bit of cash just submitting actual republican politicians.

Note that it is literally illegal to pay someone for voting a certain way, so there's no reason you can't take the money and vote for Kamala anyway.

[-] SelfProgrammed@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

This is what desperation looks like.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

I can't think of a better way to discredit a petition than offering cash for signatures.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

How the fuck is supporting the constitution conservative now? That's some bullshit.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If Conservative = 'good' (as in 'what I think is good'), then anything 'good' = Conservative.

Family? Conservative. Apple pie? Conservative. And so on.
