Musk's $1M payments may or may not violate the letter of Wisconsin law, but he is clearly trying to buy an election. Regardless of what the courts do, his efforts can still be rejected at the ballot box.

If someone walks into a bank with a gun and tells a teller to put money in their bag, then change their mind and walk out, they’ve still committed a crime.
May or may not my ass! It's clear some people try hard to make something as clear as sunshine look fake. This is a clear violation, and if not then Dems should start doing this as well!

It's that simple. He's blatantly trying to buy votes in violation of WI law. The courts can figure out if it actually violated the law during normal processes!
Our politics now and several other times in our history has been and is presently the strife of special interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
Our politics essentially is now the conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
When Mrs. WWE (currently designated to destroy the department of education) tried TWICE to buy a Senate seat with tens of millions of her own money, it backfired in a big way. Lost twice. Nobody likes rich people trying to tell us normies what to do or trying to control us. Come on, Wisconsin! 🙏🏼💙
When you can pimp out 3 branches of government, control a large percentage of media, use a fake agency to dismantle institutions over night, make people disappear, use the people's own money against them, and the opposing party is going to court? This is small shit compared to murder of the US.
Come on Wisconsin.. do the right thing.. Don’t sell your soul, your values nor your vote to this billionaire… He thinks he can buy anything he desires… prove him wrong.. Make us proud.. Stand with Susan Crawford.. Stand for America!
Well he bought the Presidential election and got away with it. So I guess he sees a clear path with no one that’s going to do anything about it… except talk.
Eventually (if not here) Musk will stray outside the narrow legal line he's walking. He might be the richest person on the planet, but he follows his impulses, and his legal representation wouldn't dare tell him anything he doesn't want to hear.
The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and their minions has no bottom. They’re a stain on their families, party, communities & the United States🇺🇸. A 3rd term for a convicted felon with a lifetime of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships is against the U.S. Consitution #22Amendment
Q: My understanding is this is colorably a felony violation of WI election law. If the WI AG agrees, would it be possibleðical for him to announce today that he was investigating Musk for a felony election crime?
Slow motion justice has been failing America recently.
Two courts in Wisconsin have already rejected the AG’s case so he will. Get away with it.
The upside is I didn’t see where he is looking for proof that the voter voted for the MAGA candidate. Just that they voted.
Hopefully a good person will win the money.
EXACTLY. WTF? Everyone knows all this BS is illegal. Even if it weren't, coming from a so-called president, these actions are egregious & reason for impeachment, imprisonment, meaningful fines & compensation to the millions of (actual) victims.

AG Kaul did file charges against musk and the judge wouldn’t hear the case because it’s too close to election. It’s on appeal, but the giveaway is today. The original judge on the case was Susan Crawford, the liberal SC nominee. Unfortunately, she had to recuse herself because of Tuesday’s election.
so that's how they pull this bullshit -- Offer $1 mill to sway vote within 7 days of election and the judiciary decides they're locked out of doing anything. So now MAGA/Musk know how they can buy elections.
So the letter of the law is given precedence over the spirit of the law. And that’s because no one can know what the full intention of the writers of that law really meant? So much for Originalism.
Let’s be clear about something, Barb. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is not going to save Wisconsin. They want the same bribery culture that SCOTUS enjoys.
Did they not stop him because they didn't think it was illegal.... or did they not stop him because you can't stop someone from breaking the law, you can really only prosecute them for breaking it?
In PA, Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled in favor of Musk after Musk’s lawyers said “the winners are paid spokespeople and not chosen by chanced.” They were vetted ahead of time to make sure their values aligned with the group. They of course signed MDAs.

Does anybody in this country really know if something is illegal or not? For ten years it's been "Trump may have broken the law", "Trump possibly crossed a legal boundary". Then talking heads debate it, wasting our time....does anyone actually KNOW what laws are being broken?

And our team is losing...
From the stands all we can do is yell...
But we're really down there on the field...
We are the People in "We the People"...
And when nothing is done
By those who should
If we stand by
We are to blame....

Can they prosecute him now for breaking the law?
Isn’t that the protocol of the times?
