If Musk believes so much in the Constitution and in Americans, why does he have to push a $1,000,000 “sweepstake” when you FIRST have to sign what amounts to a loyalty pledge?
You literally have to sign a corruption of the first two amendments.
That’s not belief in America, that’s a belief in greed. That money can buy anything, including an election.
What Musk is proposing, nay, telling us, is it is no longer “We the People” but “We the Billionaires, and Fuck the People.”
We have gone from a country of laws to one of greed. “Vote for Trump and you MIGHT win a million bucks!” Every carney knows this is the hook. It’s how you fleece people of their hard earned money.
Musk’s money doesn’t come from selling to customers, he actually sucks at that. Where he made his money is as a GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR.
Can y’all say quid pro quo?
When you are a billionaire you know what’s important?
Buying people.
Not being a lawyer I’ve no idea if it falls within the purview of bribery. I’m sure Musk has a shit ton of lawyers that can prove it does not.
@feloneouscat It's illegal to bribe people to vote a certain way - and this is just "wink wink nudge nudge I'll pay you if you support the crooks I want elected".
If the powers that be are so wooden/incapable of independent thought that they refuse to interpret it as such, then they're a disgrace to everyone who played a role in liberal democracy transitioning from a far-fetched shadow in the wildest dreams of subjects of Empire into a reality, & all who helped sustain it through the centuries.
