What a coincidence!

One of the million-dollar "winners" of Elon Musk's campaign to get people to vote is the Leader of a Young Republicans group in Wisconsin. There was a time when it was against the law to buy votes in such a way.

But Elon Musk doesn't care about the laws or the traditions of America. He wants to steal every penny he can get his hands on. That is why he is the richest person in America, and perhaps, in the entire world.

He is so rich that he makes a joke of everything because he feels invincible. Nobody can touch him. He is far beyond the reaches of man-made laws.

He wants people to think it is some sort of legitimate contest that he is giving away million dollar checks to people off the street. He is giving money to political operatives to buy votes. Period.

2. Games of chance that are crooked are illegal, no?

I would think in most states a raffle has to be honest. There are permits, approvals to be obtained. The public would have no confidence without some regulatory integrity.

3. Of course he is. I wonder if the people actually get the money? They have to pay taxes on it too.

4. But on election day,...

.... if the voting lines are four hours long before you reach the voting booth and you are about to pass out because you need some water - watch out.

In some states it is now against the law to handout water to those in a long line waiting their chance to vote.

But Musk is allowed to hand out millions of dollars to bribe voters to vote the way he wants them to vote.
