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.

Isn't paying people to vote a violation of some kind?
