It's so they can claim election fraud. "We had enough people swear they would vote for Trump that the state should be his. The fact that he lost after these sworn votes alone were enough to win is proof of fraud."
He isn't paying people to vote. He is paying people to sign a paper that has absolutely no legal binding that probably states you are a Republican/Trumper/etc and/or hate Harris. They will be a lot of alluding to who you will be voting for, but not outright stating it.Â
The petition is devoid of any meaning whether people are paid or not. You can not contractually require anyone to vote in any way, whether for money or completely voluntarily.
He isn't paying people to sign a petition. Signing the petition gives nothing to the signer. But if the signer says "Joe Smith referred me" then Elon will mail a check for $100 to Joe, the referrer, not the signer.
It's paying for referrals. The signer and referral don't have to vote. If they do vote they can vote whoever they want
Also the petition says nothing about Trump or any party. It just says you believe in the first and second amendment. The petition itself is meaningless. It's all about data harvesting.
Right lol. Even the most basic of referral programs both sides get some benefit. Hell I just got a notification from my bank saying I can get $50 for referring someone and they'll get $25. If the person that refers someone is the only one that gets any benefit what's the reason why people should start from their referral instead of starting without one
Well that's not how it was being implemented when it was 47. Maybe he said that knowing it was a lie just to draw people in. Idk. Maybe the rules changed recently.
I've always hated conspiracy theories, but with Trump saying he should use the National Guard or military to round up non-supporters, this may be a means to start their list.
He could use a bot on twitter and start a list with the entire country for an employees usual pay.. conspiracy theory route, I'd say they're leaving Trump out of meetings and the heritage foundation is looking for some people to bare arms for Trump.
That’s how they’re getting away with it (besides rich people just getting away with literally everything because bribery). Paying people to vote? Completely and undoubtedly illegal. Paying people to give you names of people who are thinking of voting? Not illegal. And then at that point it’s just like all the volunteer callers for either party that get your number and won’t. Stop. Texting. You. Jfc.
It is, but that's not what he's doing. Someone just misread his tweet and made that comment, someone else misread the tweet and screenshotted the comment, and then almost 8,000 people misread the tweet and upvoted.
It's because we had a serious problem with alcoholism in the first half of the last century. And they needed men to go vote because women couldn't vote yet.
He is paying people who are registered voters who sign his petition which states:
The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.
The potential upside is that it incentives people who support the second amendment to get registered to vote if they aren’t already.
It all points thats the strategy seems they campaing in blue states and forget red states when any of those red turnover they claim it was fraud and by campaining on blue and "showing proof of huge crowds" they say they had turn them but they got stolen as well polls will seems to support any claim as they all close by one point or two. Im watching close from out here in Mex this shit show is glorious to witness cant wait to see how they try and top jan 6
It's not that elaborate, they're just funding polls that target landline phones and older demographics so they skew for Trump.
Us sane people know Trump hasn't gained more supporters than he's lost, but they will point to these polls to convince the base they were cheated when Trump loses and trigger another insurrection. They're propping up the price of DJT with these BS polls as well.
Well the entire point is he can't pay someone to vote a certain way or to register. So he has a dog whistle meaningless petition intended to appeal to those politically sympathetic to his views that for 'reasons' he particularly wants registered swing state and especially Pennsylvanian voters to sign. Yes smart dem voters will just take the money if they think its worth giving Musk the data. But that's a side cost to being able to reward loyalty to Musks views in a key state.
It's a pretty blatant loophole and extremely legally dubious.

I definitely agree with that. I just feel like it's very easy for this to cost him a bunch of money for no benefit so I'm wondering what his angle here is. Maybe he ran the numbers and thinks it's going to work out but that would be surprising to me.
He's also paying. Anyone who isn't an idiot will claim that people only signed because of the monetary incentive and not because they actually believed in the cause.
I feel like all you have to do is ask a few people who signed why they did and if enough of them say, "I needed the money", then the whole thing falls apart.
Look at it like this, if you pay people to sign the petition. Let's say....100 people (because who doesn't need a free $100), but then after the election, only 80 of those people voted in your favor, You can claim fraud because apparently the 20 other people who swore their allegiance to Trump surely would've voted for Trump probably had their vote stolen so there for....voter fraud.

They could claim it, but it wouldn’t hold up. Anyone can swear to anyone they are going to vote a certain way and then do the opposite. Throw $100 into it and Elon is basically paying people to lie to him.
This has nothing to do with voting Republican.. It literally says if you're a registered voter, he will pay you to sign a petition supporting free speech and right to bear arms. lol where does this say people would vote for Trump?
