Elon Musk Veers Into Clearly Illegal Vote Buying, Offering $1 Million Per Day Lottery Prize Only to Registered Voters

Hate that I'm writing something that defends Garland a bit but arresting Musk two weeks before the election could be a huge backfire.
Musk isn't running.... You can't give famous or wealthy supporters legal immunity just because they're famous and wealthy and vocally support one side or the other.
...so yes, you should hate yourself for trying to make that defacto case.
First time in American is it?
What a Bunch of nonsense. You'd rather have a hissy fit and turn thenarrative into charging the world's wealthiest man, thus supporting Trump's weaponization of DOJ rhetoric than wait for a couple of weeks. Guess you were never spanked as a child.
You watch something blatantly illegal and not even in a moral grey area going on and your take away is that stopping it would be wrong?
What are your values?
A lot of people think if two groups disagree then just picking the middle makes them better than either, likely because it may make the two sides court them so they feel important. Which would explain the pro-spanking stance too. The people who fall into that were often attention starved as children and view any attention as a positive.
So when you get full blown fascism on one side, and ineffectual pro-corproate neoliberalism on the other...
Those people may very well say that the correct path is in-between the two.
In this case letting a billionaire buy an election for the fascist and then honestly say with a straight face:
arresting Musk two weeks before the election could be a huge backfire.
Like if one mob wanted to burn their house down, and another mob wanted to burn half, they'd pat themselves on the back for "negotiating" to have 75% of their own house burnt down, and declare everyone has to be satisfied because it's a compromise.
My takeaway is doing something about it before the election is probably a mistake. It has to do with reality, not values.
Reality is such a practice encourages Trump and Musk to keep compounding illegal acts to win.
How you see reality is based on your values.
What a Bunch of nonsense.
What is the nonsense and why are you bringing up child abuse like it helps people?
Musk is actively doing damage and blatantly breaking the law...
And you think the best plan is to ignore it till after the election, completely ignoring this is targeted at battleground states in a tight election?
Like, did you see how long it took to hold people accountable after 1/6?
What's important is stopping it now with an injunction.
Pro Tip: One thing about spanking a child having a hissy fit, they learn they seldom pay off.:
No they don't.
They learn that pain is a valid motivator and consequences only come from being caught.
They don't learn to follow rules.
Like, it's 2024, this has been widely studied....
Did nobody tell you? I have a degree in psychology so maybe my expectations are too high, but you're honestly the first person I've seen in at least the last decade say child abuse is an effective strategy
Your inconsistency is that you thought my comment was a hissyfit, and needed your tough and immediate response, but you don't think someone illegally interfering with an election is a hissyfit, or needs an immediate response.
You'd prefer that this election interference be allowed to happen, be left to effect the election... And only be addressed later - after the election has been interfered with.
You want to walk on eggshells because you're scared of what your abusers might do. It's battered woman syndrome (no it's not gendered happens to lots of people, particularly kids).
The desire to stay quiet or not make trouble out of fear of what might happen if you speak up, or get outside help.
Might explain your focus on corporal punishment, maybe you've seen stuff like this happen on a personal level.
You seem like you're in a bad place. Try to focus on the good things in life, things that make you happy, and make you want to move forward and keep going.
maybe they weren't, since not spanking children leads to better outcomes for them. Emotionally and cognitively.
Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement
But if he was selling loose cigarettes on an NYC street...
