How is this not election interference!?

It 10000% is. The questions are who is going to do something about it and will it be successful in shutting him down?

Wisconsin officials should be there to make sure this does not happen.

It would be nice if they tried whether or not it was successful so it was known it's suspicious on a grander scale.

Exactly Danielle there isn’t any backlash/reporting coming from anywhere except Aaron and a few others. We need some good trouble and balls from the Dems we elected!!!

Tony Evers is WI Governor and Josh Kaul is Attorney General in WI..are they (both Democrats) in the position to bring charges?

Wouldn't it feel great if the handcuffs came out immediately after Musk hands over the checks?

Yes and they should. Elon won’t stop until he is stopped. The Governor and Attorney General are SUPPOSED to UPHOLD the LAWS of the State of Wisconsin. They would be derelict in their duty to uphold their oath of office if they DO NOT charge them.

….and is Musk talking about this coming Sunday (30th) —which is BEFORE voting day of 4/1 or NEXT Sunday, April 6 AFTER the election? How will “only the people who voted” be determined if it is this coming Sunday??

The catch is (from what I have seen) is they never explicitly say WHO you have to vote for - just that you voted.

has he said where he is holding this event?? I live in WI and would imagine protesters will show up, too.

Well, at least this time he didn't claim that they would be randomly drawn from those in attendance, as was dog-and-pony-show done in PA, only to have it later reported that the recipients were known in advance, pre-screened. (I'd still be interested in learning whether their "cheques" were cashed/deposited, and if they were permitted to keep the face value.)

There may yet be cause for State-level investigation, and if warranted, prosecution, if he holds true to form.

All sizzle, no steak.

I just posted the Wisconsin governor and senators phone numbers. I think we should all call them every day until April 1 to let them know what we think of this.

Sadly so many of the people who have sworn to protect the right to vote have slumped away like spineless cowards. Elon bought the presidency now he’s attempting to buy congress. He must be stopped. He’s a seriously deranged man.

Right! He’s a government official now, unlike during the presidential campaign so there’s no way this is not election interference!

It literally IS and no one is going to try and stop him. People seem to only care about money so that’s exactly how musk is getting to them. Schimel is a fucking joke and I hope my state stands the fuck up and votes Susan Crawford in

How about freezing and seizing his f'king assets? Trump too and any billionaire who wants to fight us. Musk is going to continue to buy people until we stop him.

We have a few days where we can call the Wisconsin governor and the senators. The governor is Tony Evers 1-608-266-1212. Two Senators: Tammy Baldwin(D) 202-224-5653. And Ron Johnson (R) 202-224-5323. Let’s call them every day and let them know what we think of paying in an election.

Of course it is! But he did the same during the election in Pennsylvania. And it worked. No one is stopping him. How will anyone have a chance against someone giving out million dollar checks?

definitely is but my thought now is: who’s gonna stop him though? they’ve put loyalists in all parts of the govt there’s no one to convict him if he does get away with this.

I think he underestimates some members of the supreme court. If they give in on his judge attacks, they take away all of their own powers. Whether they are power hungry or actually believe in the barest bones of the constitution, they won't stand for it.

Those of us who were paying attention and not in the cult aren’t surprised. Agree, who is going to stop them? Protests are growing but not sure if it’s enough.

Curious why is everyone voting absentee?

Expand full comment
Hope Zimmermann's avatar

A lot is work conflicts and just convenience. I work a hour away from my home so it just makes it easier for me to vote absentee! I also like to not feel rushed or pressured from voting in person. It gives me plenty of time to feel educated about all of the options on the ballot.

Vera Cardinale's avatar

Oh, I was wondering if one method was safer versus the other as far as Elon getting his grubby little hands on them. I recall inconsistencies in PA’s vote tallies, suggesting one of the vote counts (mail in?) was tampered with.

Shoot your shot at that million, he can't say who to vote for so why not take his money? 😂 I'm so petty, I'd cash the check, then thank him and let him know that I didn't vote for his slug

Someone in Wisconsin will. This is a direct threat to state rights, state voting laws, and the rule of law at the state level.

Danielle's avatar

Since this new amount is coming before the vote (assuming the $100 is after) will this actually have something trigger the action needed? Saying he gives money versus giving it can be the legal difference. But offering and not providing is a whole other issue too.

I just said under a different comment, but I'm guessing they need money to actually transfer to stop it. I'm not sure how the idea of a financial reward isn't interference whether or not they get it, but that's above my knowledge.
