Trump Backer Elon Musk Accused of 'Clearly Illegal Vote-Buying'.
  • No I don't think you could take a picture of your ballet in the 19th century when it was ruled illegal. So if it was illegal when the exchange was entirely faith based, how are reasoning pictures changes anything? That's not why the law was created and this exchange can absolutely be considered vote buying

  • By this logic it's historically impossible to buy votes since you can't go into the polling location with them. Buying a view is an agreement about what a person has agreed to vote for. Musk has made a very clear offer to give money for someone who agrees to support the first amendment and that a vote for Trump is supporting the the first amendment. If the person doesn't vote for Trump, by Musk's stated beliefs, they are not supporting the first amendment and therefore disqualified from receiving the money. He is attempting to buy votes.

  • Still, again, my point is regarding what is implied in this article which is that Musk is paying people to vote for Trump. You do agree that this is not the case, correct?

    No. Musk goes to a rally and says vote for Trump to preserve your first amendment rights then offers money to people pledging to support first amendment rights. Stop playing dumb

  • Musk did go to a Trump rally and say specifically voting for Trump is to preserve your first amendment rights and then offered to pay for people to vote to protect their first amendment rights. That seems legally questionable to me.

  • I'm not nor was I comparing it to anything. If you self immolate, that's a very strong indicator you're not mentally well. Again, I agree with their cause but it's really weird to imply they were mentally healthy when they decided to light themselves on fire and die horrifically
