Just give me cash. I'll vote for Trump and not tell anyone I got cash.

Also to make conservatives prouder I'll actually vote for Harris ripping said conservatives off.

Deal Elin?

Remember when Musk thought he was real slick and tried to convince everyone he was a D voter, but that it was only because rapists kept losing their jobs that he became a R voter?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Mister Musk, sir. I can identify a new voter. Yaas sir. That would be me. Where's ma $47?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What is the goal here? collect a bunch of wrong information showing there are eay more Trump voters then whip it out as evidence when he loses?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I figured it was vote buying, ala Tammany Hall

Is it just me or is Elon starting to morph into Kim Jong Un?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

He's certainly trying.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So let's brainstorm how we can exploit that to get his money and/or break the the process.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not really a difficult system to game. Sign up Dems and take his money.

Cards against Humanity is using a referral code to force elon to pay into their new dem super pac! it only applies in certain states, though.

from https://www.apologize.lol

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47.

But what other consequences might there be? I would do that (I'm in a swing state), but I worry the people I name would end up spammed to within an inch of their lives or harassed or something. (And on top of that, I wouldn't put it past Musk to find some excuse to renege on the deal.)

I tend to agree, but he never did find a way out of buying Twitter, so history says he's not so good at that.

But Trump is, and now they're besties.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sign up the CAH email (see other comments)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you misunderstood the CAH thing. They're saying you need to sign up yourself and use their email as a referral.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Ohhhh yea, doh.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but I worry the people I name would end up spammed to within an inch of their lives or harassed or something.

Why are you worried if this happens to a Trump supporter? They'd happily do it (or worse) to you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because we weren't talking about signing up actual Trump supporters; we were talking about gaming the system by signing up fake ones.

DOJ and IRS are now looking at Elon to see what mistakes he makes that will get him into a difficult problem to get out of

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Done and done! Thanks for the tip!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

All -300,000 of them.

Just because someone is an idiot doesn’t mean they don’t stumble into a good scheme from time-to-time.

People in swing states create fake voter accounts en masse for the reward. Those fake voters all try to vote for Trump.

The game is to destabilize everything enough that a court case advances to the Supreme Court so that they can steal the election. Thousands upon thousands of fake voters helps them tremendously.

If it were that easy to fake voter registration, they wouldn't need this scheme.

It's nowhere near that easy.
