Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The Epstein island bros never pay their debts. Shout out to Ken Griffin— the market maker/money propping up these fucking assholes.
Hopefully he never pays, and those folks get jaded and stay home instead of voting for trump.
From the article
A Trump voter in Pennsylvania tells Rolling Stone that he had his girlfriend sign the petition and list him as a referrer. “If it were anyone other than Elon Musk doing this I wouldn’t trust it,” he says. But he is frustrated at receiving no confirmation message or further communication from the Super PAC since then. “Part of me thinks it’s B.S. just to rally up votes,” he admits, in which case he plans to “have a field day slandering [Musk], and Trump might just lose my vote.”
Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: it's not "slander" if it's true.
He's probably so used to Trump calling facts slander
The education system most likely didn't fail Trump voters as much as these are the stupid a**holes in your school who thought they knew better than everyone else and they didn't need to internalize anything. The school systems did fail US by letting them graduate though.
Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: In print, it's libel.
They'll be mad at Elon, not Trump. But one can hope.
Progress is still progress.
Same cloth
“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Mark Twain
I'm absolutely shocked that the guy who skipped out on paying his employees' severance pay, the rent for his facilities and office spaces, and various vendors and other companies is also not paying out the bribe money he offered people... Shocked I tell you... Who could have possibly forseen this?
The people holding the giant cardboard million dollar checks aren't getting paid either. Once the election is over the PAC will be dissolved and Musk will fuck off back to Texas and get a friendly judge to squash the inevitable lawsuits.
But all those million dollar winners might want to quietly fuck off too. After they also broke the law and can be prosecuted.
Yeah, unfortunately there's almost no chance that he sees any real consequences over this. A different justice system for him vs the rest of us.
You know... I hope this backfires and pisses off enough idiots they huff and puff away from actually voting.
The $47 payments are two years away.

Elon innovating corporate finance by scrapping net30 payment terms and switching to net730
It's just an homage to Trump, who is famous for not paying bills!
This guy is a national security risk. Plus, he skips around like a dipshit.
The CyberCuck didn’t become a billionaire by handing out money, you rubes. He will never pay up.
I am just shocked. SHOCKED! Well. Not that shocked.
wtf the lying grifter con artist man didn't pay me?!
elon wouldn't scam me!
And he’ll do the same in his next bit lol if he doesn’t actually pay, no laws broken
Wondering if this is some kind of loophole - by a technicality, he's not guilty of vote buying if he doesn't actually pay up?
