lmao:
Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?
Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America. . If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

How does that even work? I'm not in USA so I can't even access that page.
Musk put up a PAC that pays non-voters in swing states $47 to register to vote (because the next president will be #47). I'm not sure if he has restrictions on his thing, like maybe you have to live in a red area in a swing state or something. Anyway, I think CAH has set it up so you can redirect that money to them instead.
Last I heard, you weren't supposed to give people money to register to vote or promising to vote or anything like that, but trump was filmed giving out hundred dollar bills last week, musk is handing out money for registering, and now this. I'm not sure what's going on except everything's really fucked.
you weren't supposed to give people money to register to vote or promising to vote or anything like that
It's also incredibly stupid. You have no way of tracking who someone votes for once they're in the booth. If I was in a swing state I'd be happy to take musk's cash and vote for Harris like I was always going to do.
This is why it's (sort of?) legal to do what they're doing: paying for someone to vote a specific way is illegal for sure. And paying someone to vote is also illegal. But I believe that paying someone to REGISTER to vote is legal so long as you do not actively restrict who can participate. It's also okay to pay someone to write down a plan on HOW to vote, and to pay someone to write shit on the internet.
So yeah. It's very borderline. But I think it technically passes muster
Yeah, I get it's a counter protest, and it's probably supposed to feel slimey and manipulative, but that's all I feel from it. I don't see some good side to this. I just see an overall destruction of our ideals.
It's a sad state of affairs when the jesters are the only ones left speaking the truth. Satire has become reality.
It's exhausting.
It's bad for public schools to have religious officials as part of their staff. When The Stanic Temple does it the point isn't to have people say "it's okay when people we like do it" the point is to say "you guys are bending the rules? Okay, we'll bend them until they break to force you to put a stop to it."
The difference is they follow the law to show it's absurd logical conclusions. This is just breaking the law as well. This is not the same.
They are literally asking people to post that this should be illegal.
Everyone is posting about getting paid for their apology. I did my part by getting a pack, and I want to post, too. What should I post?
You should post:
How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn't vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
make a voting plan
You keep glossing over that part. That's the problem part.
And literally nothing you posted corroborated your statement that they were asking people to state Trump/Elon's actions are illegal. "A human toilet" is what's used.
I don't think you read my post.
They are directing people who are supporting CAH, to ask on social media "How is what CAH doing not illegal?"
They are directly saying "What we are doing right now is not illegal and really should be." If you read the page it is full of comments like "It's fucked up that we can do this."
And yet the Republicans worked tirelessly on shit like making it so that water bottles can’t be handed out to those waiting in lines on hot voting days lest it sway someone’s vote.
How does the Musk part work? Musk launched a petition to pledge support for guns and free speech (I think that is what it is about, I did not read it nor understand how that is a petition). To AstroTurf support for the petition, he set up a referral code system. If you get a voter in a key state to sign the petition and say that you told the voter to sign, Musk's Super PAC will pay you $47.
Getting people to sign Musk's petition feels a bit wrong, even if the money is going to what CAH thinks is a good cause.
Man, USA politics are wild.
Boring dystopia moment
Open the link. "Half of Americans didn't vote in the last election". Me: that can't be right, let's fact check.
Oh, yeah, 150 mil voted, 150 didn't, but that's a 66% turnout. On top of that turnout is higher in the blue states. Oopsie. See the map. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections

now that I've read the whole PAC thing it also makes sense why it was started. The data is on their side.
