Musk pulled this in Pennsylvania last year and now he's tried it in Wisconsin. Is the law going to catch up with him at some point? /1 - ThreadSky

You can almost hear the *wink, wink* from here.

Nope. Because Trump's existence in politics has exposed a truth about us we cannot accept and will pretend it's not real. That we are all selfish people who only take action if the situation affects us directly. Till then we wait for someone else to solve the problem. This is part of our society.

Kaul waited waay too long to file suit; Needs to appeal to the Wisconsin SC ASAP.
Hopefully, Wisconsinites will vote for Susan Crawford overwhelmingly and put this Musk shit to bed...

Nope, they are not challenging the legality of this.

Last year when there was a Dem AG who ... sent a strongly worded letter. I think we have our answer.

My Dispatch piece last year on Musk's Pennsylvania voter raffle, which his allies tried to defend with truly lame whataboutism. /2 https://www.cato.org/commentary/elon-musks-raffle-far-more-dubious-zuckerbucks

That man should have been prosecuted a long time ago for his shady practices and outright criminal actions.

Changing an illegal offer at the last minute doesn’t moot the illegal offer.

It doesn’t seem to be catching up to him. What gets me about this is rich guys like Musk have lawyers on the payroll that they go to and say, “make this legal.” Musk dances around our laws. I have no doubt Musk got a call before he deleted his original tweet advising him to change his wording.
