This is ABSOLUTELY absurd!! Is anyone going to file a lawsuit against Kamala? She's having a contest too!! Someone will win an ALL expenses paid trip to a concert (the artist name hasn't been released yet), after she wins the election!? WHY IS THAT LEGAL!?
@VietNam-hv8io
The United States has taken you in, yet today you stand against the humanitarian values of this country
@Sam200-x2m
Trump 2024
@lawrenceottih
Could be illegal? In other words, you people are salty 😏
@ChannelingHardy
Doing it because he knows Americans will sell their soul for $1 million. Look at all the evangelicals and how they operated. 😂😂😂 looser scam.
@sissythomsen726
oh he started a game show, big deal called thanks for voting here's the 1 million dollar question….do you support free speech and the right to bare arms. lol
@PatrickHo1972
Stand With President Donald J Trump 2024.
@ATHikers
DOJ is pathetic
@elizabethscott3048
Talk about payoff. You were paid off, lady, by the globalist you work for in saying Musk is spreading “disinformation”. How ironic!
@lottorabbit
FAKE NEWS. Do not listen to this… He is not giving away money for people to vote. Registering to vote and voting are two completely separate tasks. Even if you registered, doesn’t mean you will vote. And he is not telling you who to vote for! This is completely fake news.
@julianwayte
Yep illegal to pay people to register to vote. Illegal to ask for voter id. But legal to sterilize your children and have men play in women’s sports. And legal to let murderers and rapists free in the USA. And they wonder why they will lose in a landslide.
@darshanaor
Musk has lost his mind. Disgusting.
@Catsanddogslivingtogether
This is the real reason corporate America shorts people on wages and price galges for merchandise and giving us cheaply made merchandise at that. Once they build up billons in per profit they buy polititions and elections.
@LawrenceStagner
The judge in Cali 9th already ruled against suit. Besides, Gates gave 50 million to Harris's campaign, and Obama gave out Obama phones, but dems never cared.
@stoneyisland2611
Fake news are all the founding fathers of disinformation aka FAKE NEWS.
@larryr.burgess3318
Deleted thousands of emails could be illegal too 🤷♀️ wonder how this is going to shake down 💃🏻
@AnthonCrane-k2r
Where Trump is , there is guaranteed some scam going on.
@MinnieAbdulRahman
Illegal or not, when are our values for sale? Buy shoes, watches, bibles, and now gamble on a million dollar prize for signing a petition for amendments that are already in the constitution? Oh my, the love of money…
Bottom line is that he is lobbying for deregulation and he thinks we will agree with him if he throws a little money at it. Just a way to get you to like him and if you like him, you may agree with him and vote for Trump who will deregulate a lot of things. Wall street at its best until it comes crashing down again. And I am sure we would bail them out again Whose tax dollars then?
They did not care when we bailed them out in 2008. They went back and gave themselves bonuses for crashing the economy. They did not care during COVID. They made record profits while people were out of work. They bought up all the available homes at inflated prices and turned around and rented them for outrageous rental income. They increase your products and services and after that they tack on more fees at the end to pass on as much corporate expense to you as they can. Then a e-coli scare. what do they say. They say they want you to have confidence that their food is safe.. But we dont need regulation do we? No, lets get rid of the Department of Education too. We dont need smart people. They may understand what we really want to do.
@swdetroiter313
Lets all keep in mind that some of the cash in musk's super pac cutting these checks is a passthrough for government contracts, grants, subsidies from the federal government to musk and his companies. So thats us tax dollars being used in this way. Not private equities or donations
@DonatienAlphonse
Musk is NOT "the world's richest man". Never was, never will be.
@Soma81
Merrick can warn all he wants Bubba is not going to take No for a answer since zuckerberg did the same thing
@Connect662
How come all of the white liberals have the same plastic Rachel Maddow glasses?
@shannonmoore4767
He's not paying anyone to register to vote how stupid
@pjqziggy
The cheques haven't cleared yet.
@jaywilson4321
