    Can somebody please take the time to explain to me how this legally works? Like he’s just out here paying private citizens to vote? Fucking. Geeez.

      You just ignore the law, and done

      If a judge tells you to stop doing something you don’t anyway

      That’s how that works

      It’s not legal, its just that laws don’t matter for the ruling class In the USA. It works because the only people with the ability to legally arrest Musk aren’t going to do so, and any court cases can just be endlessly delayed or appealed.

    That’s a good little free speech absolutist.

    Keep it up and one day we’ll toast to his incarceration, hopefully with all the “empathy and due process” they’ve been showing to our America citizens and green card holders.

      It’s nice to see that they are worried about her saying “vote” instead of daring the court system to stop them.

    She said the truth out loud :

    “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.”

      What’s her motivation in this?

      Did she realise how incredibly corrupt this is and wanted to call it out?

      Did she want to shout out how fantastic the system is, that just by voting for the right candidate she earned a million?

      Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?

      What in the world could make this person admit to selling their vote to a fascist?

        I’m guessing it’s this one. Seems to be a thing for a particular group.
