The fact that this is allowed is insane. This is not even an election (where his doings were already questionable) but a LAWFUL decision! Money has no reason to even play a role here? This is just Oligarchy hidden in disguise as the "ree" democracy of the US
- ratg13 2y agoI wouldn't call it lawful. It is illegal and the Wisconsin AG sued to stop it, but the top court declined to hear the case.
- actionfromafar 2y agoOh no, Mr Musks "speech = $$$$$$$" could be curtailed.

- lenkite 2y agoThe US right has begun to weaponize the US left's standard tactics. It would be amazingly good if indirect vote-buying was made illegal but it won't be as democrat donor groups are extremely dependent on strategies like giving voter "gift cards" - something used consistenly in Georgia elections. There were also grants made by Mark Zuckerberg to help with "election administration". Money is ambitexdrous - if the sock fits on the left, it can fit on the right too. BUT this specific case is not even vote buying. Merely protest recruitment - strange to be outraged about it when such has been standard operating tactics for both parties in the US for over 2 decades. I guesss it is because Musk is doing this openly instead of doing it via some obnoxiously named NGO in between ?
- lazyeye 2y agoExactly. Almost everything the left gets outraged about with the republicans, they themselves having been doing since forever.
