Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can somebody please take the time to explain to me how this legally works? Like he’s just out here paying private citizens to vote? Fucking. Geeez.
You just ignore the law, and done
If a judge tells you to stop doing something you don't anyway
That's how that works
And then you don't go to Prison because you are rich and a Russian asset, and the Russian asset president appointed Russian assets to the head of the DOJ and FBI who are working with you.
The only justice that will happen will come from outside the bounds of the current laws
It's not legal, its just that laws don't matter for the ruling class In the USA. It works because the only people with the ability to legally arrest Musk aren't going to do so, and any court cases can just be endlessly delayed or appealed.
Who are these people?
The district attorneys and the department of Justice. At the state level Elon is vulnerable to the law but the federal judiciary is never going to make a move on Musk until the King of America tells them too.
The state supreme court in Wisconsin declined to press charges for it despite what he did being objectively being illegal in that state, honestly I doubt we'll see any action against him in any state due to fear of trump or trump supporters attacking anybody who does try to hold him accountable.
The elite are not bound by the law.
Technically speaking, he’s not paying private citizens to vote.
