Elon Musk Is Offering $47 To Refer People To Sign His Petition by naptu2(op): 8:12am On Oct 07, 2024
America @america

Sign our petition in defense of YOUR Constitutional rights to Free Speech & Bear Arms!

Goal is to get 1M voters in swing states to sign this petition.

For each registered swing state voter you refer that signs the petition, you get $47!
Elon Musk @elonmusk

Sign our petition to support the Constitution!

Also earn $47 for every person you refer to sign the petition if they’re in a swing state.

Goal is to get 1M voters in swing states to show support for free speech & right to bear arms.

Re: Elon Musk Is Offering $47 To Refer People To Sign His Petition by naptu2(op):
There are campaign finance laws in the United States that limit the amount of money that a person can donate to a campaign. However, people develop all kinds of methods to get around the laws. They create political action committees (PAC) and donate via those committees, some CEOs encourage their workers to individually donate to a campaign, etc.

America is a political action committee that Mr Musk has pledged to donate $45 million a month to.

Mr Musk is not directly donating to Donald Trump's campaign, instead, he is paying people to refer other people to sign the petition. He will only pay people who refer voters in swing states (that is, states that are not fully republican or democrat). These are states that will most likely determine the result of the election.

The graphic below is from the website of the Federal Electoral Commission (FEC). It shows the donation limits.

@FBI @FEC can you please clarify if paying people to sign a petition encroaches into fraudulent election practices?

It’s a data grab. Elon has started a PAC to monetize and use voter data.
Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein

Can you also offer $47 to those who show that they will support the results of the election and not claim that it’s fraudulent?

The left is about to be really upset that the right is doing the same thing they’ve done for years.
Ψ @quantizor

Paying for signatures, isn't that illegal in at least a few states?
Malcolm Redd @MALCOLMREDD

Wrong. They are paying for people to go out and collect signatures. They don’t pay you if you sign. Education is important.
ThePersistence @ScottPresler

WOW!

Elon, we are getting everyone in Pennsylvania to sign this.

Let’s continue registering new Republican voters across Pennsylvania.

The LAST day to register in PA is October 21st.

Re: Elon Musk Is Offering $47 To Refer People To Sign His Petition by Namaster:
America love and WORSHIP their billionaires.
Even when said billionaires are practically FUCCKING up their countries.

Musk is using money he made in America to work against America and Biden and the rest of the Democrats are looking like MORONS.

They are busy doing the "decent thing" and "taking the high road" while people like Musk, Thiel and, the worst of them all, Trump trample on their laws.

The BULK of MUSK's wealth exist because of the US government.

To OBLITERATE his wealth and make them DISAPPEAR would be a child's play.

First of all, his SpaceX is a Military Contractor that gets it's contracts from the US government. He needs government clearance to work in Spacex.

Revoke his clearance and REPEAL his contracts with the government and SpaceX is COMATOSE.

Ongoing contracts can be handled by Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and NASA. Plus, the smart people that work in SpaceX will find their ways to those companies.

Then there is Tesla. To KILL this company will be so hilariously easy.

Right now, the regulations regarding IMPORTING EVs to the US are TOUGH and RIDICULOUSLY insane.

For instance, importing Chinese EVs that completely BLOWS out Tesla would attract an import duty of 100%.

Laws like that favour Tesla.

All the government need to do is RELAX those stringent laws. Remove the 100% import duties on Chinese EVs or reduce it to about 10%.

Flood the market with CHEAP and BETTER EVs and Tesla is KAPUT.

grin

Tesla's whole selling point was to provide cars that use RENEWABLE energy for the purpose of combating Climate Change.

Now Elon Musk is in league with people who say Climate Change is a HOAX. And he's even gone to the extent of saying Climate Change is "not so bad".

Couple that with how EXPENSIVE Teslas have become, killing it off would be super easy.

Twitter is NOT profitable.
And a closer inspection of Neuralink would easily reveal enough violation to kick him off the company.

But Biden is WEAK.

The Democrats need to be MORE ruthless and VINDICTIVE when dealing with people like Musk and Trump.

The other day, he said, Trump must win, if not, Kamala will come after him and his businesses, given how open and supportive he has been of Trump's presidency aspiration.

I hope Trump loses. Elon has successfully turned the X platform into a campaign tool for Trump, using algorithms to show only Tweets that favours Trump and all sorts of lies and fake news against Kamala.
