This guy is a complete joke. If he has any sense he should know that anyone who associates with Trump will eventually face their demise. Look at Rudy Guiliani, Michael Cohen etc etc, Trump is a poison and it never ends well for them. I'm beginning to think Elon Musk isn't as smart or as innovative as he's been portrayed to be. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink the Boring Company, Neuralink and Twitter were other people's ideas and he just hijacked it as his. Just like he tried to forcefully become the CEO of Open AI but was rejected and he started making threats to shut them down.

I could care less about American politics, but him and Trump will be put to shame in just a few days. At some point, common decency and the rule of law will prevail. Thinking you can just pay people millions of dollars to vote for Trump without any consequence, just shows how foolish they both are.

There were these guys who shared rice to voters in Osun State and Port Harcourt, and there was a bullion van guy too.

Some said they were buying votes, despite the rice money in the bullion van being from the sharers' accounts.
One former governor in Anambra State also shared money to buy votes.

Let's assume he did same thing that favours Biden. would this same person sue him? nope. na sentiment go kill people finally just like jagaban supporters being biased even when they can't feed well
Actually yes it would still be illegal, and would still most likely be tried, Biden didn't even use his presidential powers to exonerate his Son, what makes you think he'll do the same for musk?

Offering money to people on the condition they register to vote, or vote for a specific candidate has always been a crime.

Is it therefore okay then for Musk to buy votes in America?

Though I understand that PAC is supposed to create a layer of insulation between a candidate and the supporters but this case is just glaringly vote buying. Elon sees that Trump might loose so he is trying to rally up people to come out and vote him.

He had better hope Trump guy wins, [which I doubt] otherwise he is toast!. Almost all the super rich are supporting Trump because he offers them tax cuts. But like in almost all countries, the middle class outnumbers the super rich.

Re: Elon Musk Fails To Appear In Court Over Million Dollar Giveaway by MasterTeeUSA: 5:49pm On Oct 31, 2024
waste of court time

1. it's his money
2. he isn't telling anyone to vote one way for payment
3. the attendees are not paying to be entered like a lottery
4. people spend billions during elections
5. party love private funds but don't want direct to voters payment...greedy heads








naptu2:
Summary.

A district attorney sued Elon Musk at a local court over his million dollar giveaway. The DA said that the giveaway was an illegal lottery and constituted interference in an election. The judge had ordered that all parties should appear in court.

However, Mr Musk's lawyers approached a federal court and asked it to take over jurisdiction from the local court. That's probably why he did not appear at the local court hearing.

He seems to think the laws are beneath him for some reason.

Alcon Entertainment, the production studio of Blade Runner 2049, is suing Musk for allegedly pirating AI-generated visuals that seem to be derived from the movie – visuals that Musk appears to have used without prior permission. Here is what you need to know about the accusations that might have some consequences for Tesla in the future.
