Yet the judge won’t stop it. Judge Voigt has not publicly disclosed any political party affiliations in recent years. However earlier in his career, he was reportedly affiliated with the Constitution Party, a far-right political group focused on originalist… 1/2
interpretations of the U.S. Constitution and socially conservative policies. This affiliation has not been prominently mentioned in his judicial role or recent decisions. 2/2
Musk is an immigrant. If he is convicted (or, heck, even suspected) of committing an election felony, should he be an ICE target for apprehension and expulsion to an El Salvadoran prison? Just asking questions...
How about a 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦 protest around the Pentagon begging the DoD to remove the Executive Branch from power?
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the military from being used for domestic law enforcement:
"𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 in cases & under circumstances expressly authorized 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 or Act of Congress"
"Expressly authorized by the Constitution" seems to indicate that the military 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 take action against a government that threatens the very 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 of the Constitution and thus democracy itself.
You're the lawyer, George, tell me I'm wrong and why.
They need to start fining the ultra-rich by the hundreds of billions. Payable in cash and no crying about how their wealth isnt real its all tied up in stocks.
AP is reporting today (Saturday) that the Wisconsin judge refused to hear the case and won’t stop Musk’s $1 million payments to voters. The attorney general is appealing.
Simple solution to the problem. Every vote against his preferred outcome should count in a "lottery", vote for the Democrat and sign up for his lottery. Any identification that provides a clue as to any preference shouldn't appear on any form. He has no right to encourage voting thru bribes.
Gee whiz...since what Musk is doing/going to do in Wisconsin is illegal according to Wisconsin laws....then PERHAPS those two people who end up "winning" his two million dollar ea. checks SHOULD BE arrested for obtaining this money ILLEGALLY/fraudulently? I'd kinda like to see that scenario happen!!
George, you are assuming that Musk gives a damn or is in some way fearful of prosecution.
He got away with holding a lottery during the election knowing it was illegal.
He knows that the weak ass Democrats & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social will not challenge the unregulated powers of the felon.
Good on you for charging your battery. It’s at 96 percent. But using Grok for legal research?
That aside, I agree. Treating voting like a raffle with a million dollar prize to the lucky winner is probably something that is or should be illegal in a deliberative democracy.
I’m still seeking representation for filing my 5.05 complaint against America PAC with the Wisconsin Elections Commission @gtconway.bsky.social - are you practicing in Wisconsin?
The fact that this even needs to be argued shows the disintegration of law in America. The law has so many loopholes that anyone with unlimited funds can have their lawyers twist the lawbooks to say anything in their favor. That's why there's a felon sitting in the oval office.
Is this a f***ing game show? Vote for our judge and win the big prize behind door number 3? Elon thinks he's god damned Project 2025's Monty Hall. #sick The money he gives away has probably been pilfered from programs he's cut without any legal authority. This is a criminal enterprise.
This is no contest. Musk's giving $1 million checks to his 2 favorite cronies who worked to elect Brad Schimel & smear Susan Crawford's name in the mud.
This + $20 million on a judicial race, just so Musk can own/operate 1 supreme court judge & 4 Tesla dealerships in Wisconsin.
Oregon law it is illegal, Wisconsin needs to act ..
“It is unlawful to offer, pay or provide money or other valuable consideration to another person to sign or refrain from signing an initiative, referendum or recall petition, and for the other person to accept or agree ..(Oregon)
Take their money and go down and vote for Crawford in public any damn way and DARE them to say somethin about it. That’s what I would so with him cheating ass money.
They're being so brazen in their lawlessness and in their graft and in their disdain for working America. They've thrown it in our faces what they think of us and the country. I just refuse to believe that they're going to succeed in what they're trying to accomplish overall. Bunch of clowns.
Hence why we need to protest next Saturday (4/5) at the Hands Off protests happening all over the country. Boycott Amazon, Walmart, all big business on 3/31 (or forever like in my case) & unplug from social media, streaming and all closed source software (i.e. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta) on 4/1.
We need HELP to save Memorial Healthcare System from FL Ron DeathSantis claws… please spread the word to sign this petition: https://chng.it/RPpJJ2f4X8
Of course it is concerning.
It literally means that, if unchallenges, billionaires will simply buy (for peanuts) from the citizens whatever agreement they need / want.
You can call THIS “trickle down”…
Witness Quisling R's in Wisconsin and nationwide say nothing as pay for vote end-runs are openly used to steer elections. Call them out. Corruption has now swamped the deck and demeans all Americans.
The problem is that the horse is already out of the barn by the time the lawsuits catch up with him. He was challenged in Pennsylvania during the last general election for giving away $1 million a day to voters but it wasn’t resolved in time to get him to stop before the election.
George is on both bluesky and twitter. If everybody with a brain leaves twitter, then who will at least try to let those still there know what corruption is being done by Trump and his MAGAts? It will be just like Fox with no one telling the truth to the clueless MAGA.
And he should be charged. It would be a state felony so Trump couldn't pardon it. And as someone not born in the US and as a criminal that should put him on a deportation list. Right? 🤣🤣
Someone from that state just needs to start the process - request it be investigated or whatever their process is there. It looks like an open and close case.
Unfortunately he has US Citizenship, there has to be evidence that he came into the country with false information on his original visa and any citizenship paperwork for any interdiction to happen
Elon just has corrupt thinking & his integrity is in the toilet.
He could have been a really great man but didn’t choose wisely!
He could make a U-Turn but the person he has given his loyalty to is vindictive and cruel and not sure what Trump would do to Elon. In essence he’s trapped-evidently🤷♀️
Either a bad batch or far too much. I’ve seen the effects personally. It’s fast and … a word that also starts with F.
Is it sad that I’m becoming paranoid about what I write/say/where I say it.
people can’t hand out water to voters waiting in line to vote in red states, but elon can bribe voters for a republican candidate. this is beyond concerning, it’s corruption.
Too bad we don't have a legislative branch with the courage of conviction, or maybe even just some conviction. Once again, the illegality is right there in plain sight for someone to enforce...
It's calculated - getting votes is worth more.
Facts don't matter...just the narrative.
Actions don't matter...just the results.
THIS is what we're up against.
Well, rubio is removing people with visas for speaking freely. he should add interfering, aka bribing, in an election on his removal list. It's time for musk's US citizenship to be stripped, and he be deported.
I would be very concerned about who is handling the election. Musk, I am sure, has a backup plan for winning. You know....the "little secret" trump mentioned before his election.
I know how to read, so I know that what Musk did is definitely in violation of Wisconsin law (illegal). So how could it not be a criminal offense? Isn't that the same thing as a violation of the law?
I think it has something to do with the fact that the transaction didn’t actually happen. It was just an offer so it’s still an offense, but not a felony 🤔?
Under Wisconsin statute § 12.11(1m)(a)(2), just making an offer or promise is a crime. And that makes sense, since that alone could influence people to vote or refrain from voting. Actually following through on the offer or promise might not matter.
Oh, I absolutely agree that a crime was committed with the offer alone & that the offer was intended to sway voters… which is why musty took it down. The internet is forever though & receipts are out in the void for this. WI AG has entered the chat now.
Seems that mElon may have "quietly deleted" his post/promise to give two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in the election “in appreciation for you taking the time to vote.”
We have reached a point where if you have enough money, you can just evade consequence. Break the law, pay a fine. Just the cost of doing business. If the fine is less than the profit you gain, then breaking the law becomes merely suggestive. Just one example.
What I find concerning is that Musk is trying to do it…
…but more so that he’ll likely NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for blatantly breaking the law (again) & buying an election (again).
George Soros should start loudly doing the same thing on the Dem side, just so we can watch the MAGA minds melt down trying to explain how terrible it is but isn't.
He'll promise to pay $1,000,000 then not actually pay anybody- or he will make up a name and say and he did. And also, even if he does choose random people who are real, you know he's going to get away with it.
Elon & Trump expose themselves for who they really are & they do it out in the open bc they have a bloated sense of entitlement. A false sense security, pride and invincibility.They buy people.
He doesn't care if it's legal. As the rich guy who thinks he can afford to out-lawyer anyone, he's just going ahead & trying to get away with everything he can. Having his childhood education elsewhere, US government, history & civics were never instilled in him. He just doesn't get it.
He cannot...which I'm sure is the main reason he hasn't pardoned Derek chauvin of his federal conviction...bc he is also serving a concurrent state sentence
There's no denying this administration has proved a flagrant ignorance in the law. But much more concerning is that the law has proved its ignorance in this administrations disregard.

Thanks for the inspiration 💙
There are no repercussions for the wealthy.
Didn't they cave under duress?
They were threatened, is there agreement even legal?
https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-supreme-court-musk-million-dollar-checks-43fa79215e16c333a1079a86cb9aab08
But I realized an injunction is the obvious first move, given the time constraints.
But if the injunction works they may stop at that, even though the offer itself is crime.
.
I hope the whole freakin’ thing backfires big time.

arrest him and it is a state crime fotus cannot pardon him for - lfgWI
All you mother f****** still on Twitter supporting Elon makes me sick you're still part of the problem as long as you're on Twitter
@mcuban.bsky.social
This is not nuanced. It doesn't require any legal argument.
It's plain, outright, blatant bribery.
Bribery is a crime, and therefore criminal.
This + $20 million on a judicial race, just so Musk can own/operate 1 supreme court judge & 4 Tesla dealerships in Wisconsin.

Don't fall for the lure of money from a fascist.

Republicans told you what YOU wanted to hear to get elected.
Now, they are destroying our ONCE GREAT COUNTRY.
DON'T LET THEM WIN!

No law degree here, but imo, Musk's give away has got yo be illegal.
Ya think he’d learn but he thinks he’s untouchable

We also need the media to refer to Bluesky posts instead of tweets whenever possible.
Special elections!!
Wisconsin vote for
Susan Crawford!💪💙🇺🇸
Florida 1st Vote for
Gay Valimont💙🇺🇸💪
Florida 6th vote for
Josh Weil🇺🇸💙💪
We knew there would be horrific actions taken by Trump right before the April 1st Special Elections!
“Don’t boo, VOTE!”
Right? 🫤
Dude it’s way more than concerning
It’s buying our democracy
Not. One. Day.
We, every day Americans, must hold Musk accountable for his egregious and felonious crimes against the United States of America. 🤬
Turn your anger into action!
2) reread 1)
It is illegal in Wisconsin to offer money for votes.
Musk committed the crime when he posted the tweet.
Deleting the tweet does not delete the crime.
He could have been a really great man but didn’t choose wisely!
He could make a U-Turn but the person he has given his loyalty to is vindictive and cruel and not sure what Trump would do to Elon. In essence he’s trapped-evidently🤷♀️
Let's go, Wisconsin!!
Let's stick it to fElon that this is the one thing that even his billions can't buy!

However successfully AG Kaul litigates this dirty tactic, much (all?) of the damage has been done.
How many ‘unlikely’ voters have already crawled out from under their rocks hoping for easy 💵💵💵?
…but more so that he’ll likely NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for blatantly breaking the law (again) & buying an election (again).
Let me repeat that…
THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN !!!!
And the entire world now knows this.
Who the hell is going to charge him?
Friends: Hey, isn’t (newest FUBAR Trump move) illegal?
Me: Yes.
Friends: So, what’s gonna happen?
Me: 😐
"X"?
Dude, don't feed President Musk's ego. Just call it Twitter.
