How come Elon can give voters $1 million but voters can't get water or snacks?

Elon Musk gave away $ 2 million dollars to get people to vote for a conservative judge in Wisconsin only to lose.

Now he is trying to cover it up by deleting and editing video of the winners.


"Just how nervous is billionaire Elon Musk about allegations that he may be violating the state's bribery statute by paying people to vote?

On Tuesday, Musk's super PAC, America PAC, pulled a video from X featuring $1 million giveaway winner Ekaterina Deistler in which she said she received the money, in part, to "vote." X is owned by the tech billionaire.

"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.""

But the video was taken down yesterday, and America PAC posted a new video of Deistler on X on Tuesday afternoon.

"My name’s Ekaterina Deistler, and I'm from Green Bay, Wisconsin," she said in the new video. "I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, and now I have a million dollars."

It's almost exactly the same, except the word "vote" has been removed. She is no longer saying she was paid, in part, to vote in the Supreme Court race.

Wisconsin AG Kaul filed suit and lost at two lower courts, before the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided not to take it up. One would think that if it was illegal it would have been stopped and Musk charged.

Being paid to vote is not the same as paying you to vote for a specific candidate, if it was every company that gives paid time off to vote would run afoul of the law.

You are really confusing. Why is ok for Soros to bankroll so much BS in our elections but not someone else? So are you complaining that Musk had money to give away, but you are butt hurt how he did it? Bless your heart.

Where did i make that claim?

I asked why handing out water to people in line is considered a possible incentive to vote for a candidate while handing out millions isnt?

No show where Soros paid anyone to vote.

Anyone who mentions Soros as a boogeyman is clearly brainwashed.

When did Biden allow Soros to run an entire department of our government and make hiring and firing decisions as Elon does?

If the court thought the folks were paid to vote, they would have ruled differently. Thank you for proving to us that you are butt hurt. Bless your peapicking little heart.

So then you must agree with the dozens of courts that have ruled against Trump and Elon and their mass firings no?

Or you pick and choose which judges are above reproach?

In trying to be rude to me you miss the point entirely and look like a childish brat.

Did he hand out those checks at the polling place?

Do you think thats the distinction honestly or you being a smart ass?

So people could hand out water and snacks in the parking lot?

We absolutely do pick which judges are above reproach.

The ones that follow the law and constitution.

Also known as… Not Democrats.

Do you think they couldn't just go door to door handing out water and bags of Fritos? Or set up a location away from the polling place to hand them out?

no one ever claimed handing out water was an incentive to vote.

They claimed it was a violation of the restriction on politicking in the polling lines.

You wanna hand out water in the parking lot feel free.
