Musk gives away $1M cheques ahead of Wisconsin's Supreme Court election

  • The last paragraph confused me. It refers back to the last time he did this and stated it wasn't proved to be an illegal lottery.

    Didn't he pivot heavily from calling it a lottery to claiming he was giving pre-selected individuals money? Similarly to how he claims to be in charge of DOGE all the time except when that would place legal limits on him when suddenly he's just an adviser? Seems blatantly illegal but apparently no one cares anymore.

  • 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

  • Musk's lawyers added that the payments were "intended to generate a grassroots movement..."

    Nothing says grassroots like a billionaire government employee handing out novelty size checks for a million bucks.
