We can't give people water when waiting to vote, but this is fine. 🙄
Off topic, but that domain name sure is misleading!
Can somebody please take the time to explain to me how this legally works? Like he’s just out here paying private citizens to vote? Fucking. Geeez.
You just ignore the law, and done
If a judge tells you to stop doing something you don't anyway
That's how that works
And then you don't go to Prison because you are rich and a Russian asset, and the Russian asset president appointed Russian assets to the head of the DOJ and FBI who are working with you.
The only justice that will happen will come from outside the bounds of the current laws
The elite are not bound by the law.
Technically speaking, he’s not paying private citizens to vote.
It's not legal, its just that laws don't matter for the ruling class In the USA. It works because the only people with the ability to legally arrest Musk aren't going to do so, and any court cases can just be endlessly delayed or appealed.
the only people with the ability to legally arrest Musk aren't going to do so
Who are these people?
The district attorneys and the department of Justice. At the state level Elon is vulnerable to the law but the federal judiciary is never going to make a move on Musk until the King of America tells them too.
The state supreme court in Wisconsin declined to press charges for it despite what he did being objectively being illegal in that state, honestly I doubt we'll see any action against him in any state due to fear of trump or trump supporters attacking anybody who does try to hold him accountable.
Her disloyalty was accidentally telling the truth. What a fool.
Straight to Salvadorian jail
Donald: I love the uneducated!
That's a good little free speech absolutist.
Remove content you are responsible for creating because you are self incriminating yourself.
Billionaire fear is back on the menu boys!
Keep it up and one day we'll toast to his incarceration, hopefully with all the "empathy and due process" they've been showing to our America citizens and green card holders.
It's nice to see that they are worried about her saying "vote" instead of daring the court system to stop them.
The headline doesn't tell the full story.
They then re-filmed it with her not saying the word vote 🤦
They refilmed it without the truthiness.
PACs should be illegal with the power they wield.
Citizens United was a real turn for the worse
I've lived under that monster my entire life.
deport felon musk
Nah give him the same immigrant treatment they're giving everyone else, no due process.
I feel like that's being too kind.
How is this even legal
Legality is irrelevant, only what will be enforced. This will not be.
It's not
Nobody is being arrested, so yeah, this is perfectly legal in current USA
USA! USA! USA!
She said the truth out loud :
"My name’s Ekaterina Deistler," she said in a video posted Monday morning. "I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars."
What's her motivation in this?
Did she realise how incredibly corrupt this is and wanted to call it out?
Did she want to shout out how fantastic the system is, that just by voting for the right candidate she earned a million?
Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?
What in the world could make this person admit to selling their vote to a fascist?
Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?
I'm guessing it's this one. Seems to be a thing for a particular group.
Especially since she would have had to be involved in the rerecording that doesn't say 'vote'. Though of course suddenly losing a million dollars in legal fees might have been motivational...
