    I’m not following, I don’t live in the US. If he’s doing it too that also sucks but I don’t think stooping to that level is the way to solve that problem

      It’s been pointed out that he is in fact doing it, several times actually. I’m actually pretty sure this is directly a result of the Muskrat doing it.

      Then read through the website linked and understand what is going on here if you’re not following.

        Having read up on the article about musk doing this, he’s not restricting it to people who are going to vote for a specific party which is the thing I take issue with.

        Nothing wrong with paying people to vote in general, paying people only if they are going to vote the way you want them to sucks

          It’s literally illegal.

            Note the “in general” part (paying them to vote in the way they want to)

              Note that it’s still illegal to pay someone to vote, full stop. Does not matter if you’re not telling them specifically who to vote for.
