Prediction: Trump will come out saying that Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech was a smokescreen to distract from the fact that George Soros was stealing votes in this election.
I wish I wasn’t serious.
Looks like the Starlink election cheat bug got patched.
The Empire was fought to a standstill, and Lady Crawford Organa took her seat on the high judicial council.
Or maybe it's just the judicial council. I dunno. I'm high.
But well done Wisconsin - the force was fucking with you today!

Get fucked fascists
No one wants Elons Sieg heil shit.
It's small, but this is definitely a win worth celebrating.
For Wisconsin itself, it's huge. It keeps breathing room available at the state level.
Another bad investment by the Muskrat.
Ah thank goodness!
People who got money to vote should be named and shamed.
It was a pledge to vote, not legally binding. A lot of desperate people these days, and I can't say I wouldn't try to scam elon out of a million bucks if given the opportunity. "Sure sure, I'll totally vote how you want Mr Musky sir. Make sure you spell my name right on the check now."

Some of those people probably took the money and voted Democrat anyway.
If someone was trying to bride me for a vote I'd take their money and still vote for whoever I wanted.
What's he going to do? Look over my shoulder and verify who I voted for?

I think he is skirting the law by having the payments be for signing a petition tangential to a vote, but not directly about voting. It's scummy to say the least, and if you did sign, you'll probably get spam calls and mail for the rest of your life. At least in this case, the outcome was that Elon didn't get his preferred candidate to win, he's wasting money paying people to get on his mailing list, and now when Tesla's Wisconsin case gets to the state supreme court, Crawford will be on the court
I almost guarantee he canceled those checks the second she won.
no doubt.
it should be illegal. that's bribery
It's already illegal. Unless the rich do it, of course.
Pisses me off they get no accountability. when if you or I did it we would be locked up imminently.
We face legal justice. They face vigilante justice.
All we need is someone willing to pull the trigger and skilled enough to hit their target.

Eat Shit Elon Wasted 20 million for nothing.
If we would assume that musk's wealth is $400,000 then spending $20m is just $20.
To us this is massive amount for him it is $20.
And he bought US president for just $300.
If we would assume that musk’s wealth is $400,000
Hopefully with Tesla stock crashing, this can be a reality
