Is this not vote buying someway somehow? How's this legal? Anyway, some animals have always been more equal than others in this animal farm of a world.
It's essentially vote buying, but the way he is going about it is legal.

The other day, he said, Trump must win, if not, Kamala will come after him and his businesses, given how open and ive he has been of Trump's presidency aspiration.

I hope Trump loses. Elon has successfully turned the X platform into a campaign tool for Trump, using algorithms to show only Tweets that favours Trump and all sorts of lies and fake news against Kamala.


You think America is Nigeria with no Rule of Law?

Musk must cash out biggerly from the Trump's campaign.

Trump winning or loosing is a win win for him

Smart guy

Lol. This take is naive.

Musk is not chasing money with the Trump campaign. He's trying to save himself.

The socialist tendencies of the Democrats would culminate in an America that hurts him and his space X and Mars ambitions (if you know musk, you know he breathes these things). Trump is the closest thing in US to a president who suits him.

At this juncture, if Trump loses (though unlikely) and the Democrats win, Musk would be in trouble. So, he's doing all he can to ensure Trump wins. He's gone full-fledged political!

There are campaign finance laws in the United States that limit the amount of money that a person can donate to a campaign. However, people develop all kinds of methods to get around the laws. They create political action committees (PAC) and donate via those committees, some CEOs encourage their workers to individually donate to a campaign, etc.

America is a political action committee that Mr Musk has pledged to donate $45 million a month to.

Mr Musk is not directly donating to Donald Trump's campaign, instead, he is paying people to refer other people to sign the petition. He will only pay people who refer voters in swing states (that is, states that are not fully republican or democrat). These are states that will most likely determine the result of the election.

The graphic below is from the website of the Federal Electoral Commission (FEC). It shows the donation limits.

No To Musk Proposals:
See what too much Money can do- reduce a man to think anyhow and pin Majority to what Musk and Trump wants. Mr Trump already said he is going to Deport Immigrants - of great numbers,the American People never seen before, it has added ' illegal Immigrants '
•Mr Musk is doing all this,just to back Trump Presidency,as the duo are once Immigrants- from their Childhood and Youths - Trump came to America, from - through his Father,while Musk,came from South Africa but now a Space-X CEO.
•These two are against your coming to America,as they now claimed " illegal immigrants '' but when they came- were they legal Immigrants?
•If you Signs the so called Petition, you are Trading your futures away,as they want to remove the ladder 🪜 that they had earlier used to come to America.
Beware,Beware and Beware.
Don't sign or listen to them because of $ Dollars.

America love and WORSHIP their billionaires.
Even when said billionaires are practically FUCCKING up their countries.

Musk is using money he made in America to work against America and Biden and the rest of the Democrats are looking like MORONS.

They are busy doing the "decent thing" and "taking the high road" while people like Musk, Thiel and, the worst of them all, Trump trample on their laws.

The BULK of MUSK's wealth exist because of the US government.

To OBLITERATE his wealth and make them DISAPPEAR would be a child's play.

First of all, his SpaceX is a Military Contractor that gets it's contracts from the US government. He needs government clearance to work in Spacex.

Revoke his clearance and REPEAL his contracts with the government and SpaceX is COMATOSE.

Ongoing contracts can be handled by Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and NASA. Plus, the smart people that work in SpaceX will find their ways to those companies.

Then there is Tesla. To KILL this company will be so hilariously easy.

Right now, the regulations regarding IMPORTING EVs to the US are TOUGH and RIDICULOUSLY insane.

For instance, importing Chinese EVs that completely BLOWS out Tesla would attract an import duty of 100%.

Laws like that favour Tesla.

All the government need to do is RELAX those stringent laws. Remove the 100% import duties on Chinese EVs or reduce it to about 10%.

Flood the market with CHEAP and BETTER EVs and Tesla is KAPUT.

grin

Tesla's whole selling point was to provide cars that use RENEWABLE energy for the purpose of combating Climate Change.


Now Elon Musk is in league with people who say Climate Change is a HOAX. And he's even gone to the extent of saying Climate Change is "not so bad".

Couple that with how EXPENSIVE Teslas have become, killing it off would be super easy.

Twitter is NOT profitable.
And a closer inspection of Neuralink would easily reveal enough violation to kick him off the company.

But Biden is WEAK.

The Democrats need to be MORE ruthless and VINDICTIVE when dealing with people like Musk and Trump.


It's easy to know one doesn't know what they talking about. Just one line to disprove all your nonsense.

Across Asia, Tesla is the number one EV brand.. so saying the bolded above like the car is been sold primarily in the usa is just silly. It's also number one across Europe. Or did the Europeans also make special laws for him there?

I know you don't like the guy but truth is he is bigger and smarter than anyone you've read about. Your silly analysis(that you can't even get right) is at it's best; SILLY!

U must be a learner when it comes to American politics.

During the last election,Facebook,twitter and name it...all of them decided to bar President Trump because they wanted to win by all means.

Today,u and the same Democrats are shouting X here and there.
The same thing that was done to him is being reversed and done to the same group of people now.

America is just weird. I'm sure Elon doesn't fully subscribe to Trump's policies and what not but what he does like for a fact is the anti-lgbtq shit that Trump stands for. And Musk, after saying he was deceived by the leftist to sign away his right over his kid's gender, you can be rest assured he will do anythin to keep them out of power... and he has that ability, might, reach and wealth to actually influence these changes.

You have said absolutely nothing in a post that is as lengthy as the speech Tinubu gave on Independence day. Lengthy as usual but no substance. Ruthlessness is often associated with the Republicans. You started by saying Republicans are infringing on human rights yet you ended your epistle by saying Democrats should be ruthless. What exactly are you saying??

Well, just so you know, these two parties have their ideologies and modus operandi. That is why the USA is based on ideals. hips are formed based on ideals. Republicans will always be republicans, so also Democrats. What I ve come to realize is that at every point in time, the ideology of a particular party will be better than the other. At such a time, the desired candidate will be voted for. Considering all that is playing out in the USA right now, I believe a republican leadership will be best for the country.

these guys are flooded with opportunities most individuals in other countries can only dream of.
imagine almost 50 usd just to sign a petition.
Chaiii

Not to sign... To get someone to sign. It's like the guys that sims. The person getting the sim is the person g the petition. The person getting paid is the same as the person handling the sim registration or in this instance, getting someone to sign.

bro, too apt. The nation will always be Red or Blue. And Musk right now, I believe is standing with Red because, the gender issue he had over his kid where he claimed he was decieved into g away his right over his kid? That's the job of the Blue and most of america seems tired of it.

It makes no sense that schools now have more power over kids than the parents.. the Reds will change that among other things.

You're saying Biden should destroy the U.S. economy by turning to Chinese made EVs instead of Tesla because of political ambitions?

I see why you elected Buhari and now Tinubu. You see no wrong in destroying the lives of 200m people because of one person's political ambition.
