  1. >Musk’s political puppeteering is fueled by his apocalyptic view of a world in which Harris wins the White House. “If [Trump] loses, I’m f***ed,” Musk told disgraced former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson this week. “How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?”

    The same thing Melania has said time and time again. Not long enough.

  2. Let’s rewrite that title appropriate to what they are really after:

    “Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to buy up our freedom and dignity, for the low low price of $47 in never-happening installments.”

    Cards against humanity is doing the same thing…

    Play fire with fire I guess

    DC Lobbyist drop millions upon millions to sway US policy, but Trump and Musk place the value of US voters at only $47 a piece. Pathetic!

    The US needs to pull all funding for musk. Why are our taxes helping a third party businessman who shits on half his benefactors??

    Oh, and tax churches. This isn’t the fucking dark age.

    This is 100% voter interference.
    If the roles were reversed and a Democrat did this the Republicans would be crying for a CiViL wAr

  7. Buying votes was on my bingo card. Up next is Trump lying on election day that Kamala died so you have to vote for him.

  8. I don’t understand the purpose. It’s clearly data harvesting. But will they use it simply for spamming those who signed it? Or is this going to be some sort of checking voter rolls and post election intimidation if Trump wins?

  9. I have a conspiracy theory that the voting aspect of this is secondary to data collection. I don’t have any actual evidence of this. They all get to go nuts with dumbshit conspiracies, so this is mine.

    So? How is this supposed to move the needle, given the system it is happening within. The U.S. has nary a race not flooded in cash, if of any importance to anyone.

    Count von Cringe is hardly a blip on the overall deluge of money.

    President Musk will dump Trump quicker than you can say ‘who’. Just watch the shenanigans which are slowly slowing gathering pace.

  12. If it was legal to buy votes then 51% of Americans would sell their votes to a wannabe dictator for no more than a few thousand bucks each.

    Only a minority of Americans see the value of democracy. That is why America teeters on the brink.

    Everyone who is singing to get money is also helping to create the narrative that the election was stolen. Trump’s team will definitely point to these lists as proof that Harris didn’t get as many votes as she did.

    Remember Trump thought crowd size during covid was proof the election was stolen

    Lol, I wish this was true 🙄

    When Musk endorsed Trump I figured it was a matter of time before he pulled a stunt like this. He’s probably got even more egregious tricks up his sleeve.

  16. Strange how Donald trump raked facebook over the coals for telling people to vote and agreed to not put Hunter biden dick pics up on the pages, but The owner of twitter jumping up and down on at his rally, suspending pro one teams accounts on twitter and paying people to vote is NOT a problem lol.

  17. It seems to me that if there are people registering to vote in order to sign this petition and get $47, they are likely not planning to actually cast a vote next month. After all, they have been unregistered this long.
    But if this PAC now has their voter registration information from the petition…

    What is to stop the PAC from casting votes in the names of those newly registered voters?

    So, lets say millions of people sign the petition and get $47 and vote for Harris anyway.

    Let’s say Harris wins the swing state. They can use the petition as evidence that there was more support for Trump than the election results show to support their claim of voter fraud.

    Everyone’s quick to criticize Musk and Trump’s political moves, but what if the real issue is how easily we’re swayed by their theatrics? Maybe they’re just masters of distraction. Shouldn’t we question why we’re so invested in their games while ignoring bigger problems staring us in the face?
