Buying people for $100. Dollars, so dirty trick. 😡🤢

Highly illegal. Deport him or lock him up.

reply

jimmykey.bsky.social•6 days ago

I suspect he did this along with the other cronies before the Nov. 6 election as well. That was definitely one that was "rigged".

reply

danwinburn.bsky.social•5 days ago

The media has gutted us. They won’t just say that an illegal thing is illegal because of this “both sides” brainwashing that has infected them. Hey “journalists”, why don’t you, I dunno, describe things factually and FULLY? It’s “controversial” because it’s ILLEGAL.

reply

1st-world-nonsense.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s not ok… is this what Musk thinks the going rate of freedom is and what he thinks Americans are worth, $100…

Trumps tactic is make the people suffer and poor so that they will take dirty money…

I hope they don’t fall for it, and prove to Musk that everyday real Americans can’t be bought…

What can money and white privilege buy? Anything it wants, apparently.

reply

sameastheold.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not even sure it is illegal anymore. ProPublica broke the story of Clarence Thomas receiving millions in bribes (stop calling them gifts) and Garland's DOJ didn't even investigate.

reply

numbcat9.bsky.social•5 days ago

Garland was a double agent or, if not, indistinguishable from one. I think that’s clear at this point.

reply

sooze2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Great we’re buying votes! What really gets to me is how they do not hide anything. As if to say, what are you gonna do about it?

reply

authorlena.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wisconsinites are awake and had better take heed. He will continue to buy our government unless this tactic is stopped.

reply

darnnaggit.bsky.social•5 days ago

presumably nothing will be done here since the FEC is run by a Trump stooge and the DoJ is run by a Trump stooge? Or is there some other mechanism to prevent this and put this dickhead in jail?

Last time he bought votes, people lost MORE than they thought they could...

Will they be conned a second time?

GOP voters cant learn from the past... we know that... but to sell your soul for $100?

Isn’t this illegal?

The Democratic Party should ask its voters and donor base to open short positions against Tesla.

What if Dump buys $200B of shitty Telsas?

reply

gabequixote.bsky.social•6 days ago

Then that’s $200B not being used against you.

Imagine if MAGAs replaced their oversize gas-guzzling Amurica pickups with EVs. Fine by me.

Huge thanks to #MerrickGarland for not indicting Elon Musk when he pulled this sh*t in Pennsylvania last fall during the election.

Add this to the list of crimes #MerrickGarland did nothing about.

It's not. We have to change this. So we can regain for the people by the people again.

Controversial or illegal?

Why not very publicly endorse everyone signing it. Make the petition meaningless

Wisconsin...what will a $100 buy? A carton of eggs? It's not worth it!!! If he is willing to pay for your vote, he will be willing to take away your vote as well!

reply

Controversial and illegal

reply

hbells.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not right

reply

snowfolk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Seems that driving Tesla stock price down is working:

Musk was offering $1million in 2024.

Now when he asks voters to commit fraud,
he can only afford to pay them $100!

reply

ggpsbdpmm.bsky.social•6 days ago

He already got away with it.

Y'all need to arrest him! Elections are under control of the States. Call ur local & state elected rep 2 demand he is arrested, fined & prosecuted. Make laws quickly to strengthen election tampering from non-resident or rich, corrupt individuals. Unseat chronies and elect better representatives💪🖖

I just emailed WI AG Josh Kaul's office. Let's see if I hear back.

Oh yeah, well the people accepting those bribes better not donate half of it to Judge Susan Crawford for her campaign to protect the rule of law on Wisconsin's Supreme Court (big breath in) and then go vote for her on or before April 1st.

It’s illegal to bribe voters, isn’t it? Arrest Musk?

reply

That’s buying votes - plain and simple. And yet, the USA claims to be the benchmark in anti corruption and democracy! Hypocrisy!

reply

lcswquilter.bsky.social•5 days ago

My friend in Louisiana told me he did the same thing in last November’s election, sending Spanish-speaking “canvassers” to poor Latino evangelical and apostolic churches to give out money to pastors and people in the congregation in exchange for votes for Trump.

It is time to throw this bastard under prison. People $100 is only going to last a couple of hours, maybe. But the loss of your voting rights and civil rights will be gone forever if you vote to put that MAGA candidate in as state Supreme Court justice.
