Elon Musk’s super PAC did not announce a lottery winner Wednesday in its daily $1 million giveaway that sparked concern from legal experts and prompted a warning from the Justice Department.
**Why it matters: **The DOJ sent a letter notifying America PAC, Musk’s pro-Trumpgroup, that its lottery could violate federal law against paying people to register to vote, per multiple outlets
- The SpaceX CEO had pledged to give away $1 million every day to registered voters in swing states who sign the super PAC’s petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments.
- Musk endorsed Trump after his first assassination attempt, and Trump has dangled the possibility of Musk heading a government committee to slash regulations if reelected.
Can I sue for false …whatever this shit is? I want my $$$
This is win/win/win for him. He gets to increase MAGA turnout by people thinking they are going to win a million dollars, he now won’t pay anyone the million dollars, and he can blame it on the “partisan Democrat Justice Department”.
I don’t think there’s a good alternative, though, let him illegally pay for votes!? The only thing we can do is make sure us, our friends, and family have a plan for voting, then donate and volunteer…
The good alternative is to throw his ass in jail.
And then punch him in the dick!
The ol dick twist!
Can he give away rain checks for “Kung Fu lessons” with Ghislaine Maxwell?
