That's so transparently the bare minimum separation needed to make sure they can't be sued for blatantly buying votes. Fucking heinous anti-American tactics.
"Just asking questions, brah"
That's what separates this. They want real polling data, not realizing the only shitheads who would answer this call are poor Trump voters who don't know any better.
Let's be real though, after all the grifts he's been pulling on this people, they could ALL use $47.
That's assuming you believe Elon's good for the money. How many times has this guy walked out when the check came due?
It would be quaint to go back to the era of vote buying machine politics. This is just another scam from our nation's premiere scam artist.
Well, he is an apartheid era South African.
I am curious what is the limit? I didn’t think any amount is legal.
Is he one of the law breaking immigrants we were warned about? Will Elon eat my dog?
Imagine selling your soul for $47 only to have the check bounce
It’ll turn out to be $47 X-bucks. (bux?). USD Value is $0.47.
Isn’t that just Truth Social stock?
He won’t actually pay out. He’ll die in arbitration before he sends any money.
If I lived in one of those states, is there anything to keep me from signing in, collecting the money, and vote Dems anyway?
Nothing except the realization that Elon isn't going to cut anyone a check.
That'd be a contract violation and could be class actioned.
No, you can't pay someone to vote a certain way.
Oh you definitely can't - but Elon is offering compensation for a petition... if he fails to properly compensate petitioners he absolutely could be brought a class action or individual small claims for contract violation.
Oh I misunderstood what you meant, my mistake. Yep, you're right.
No worries!
nope you don't have to do shit
That fucker's high as a kite
Low as a slug.
please don't make up fake people and submit it.
You’d think the owner of a shady software company would know he could get that information from data brokers. Hell, voter rolls are usually available for a relatively small fee: https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/access-to-and-use-of-voter-registration-lists
Any competent campaign would already have identified their likely voters.
I’ve gotten a lot of crap from conservatives this year. First time that’s really happened. Usually just get stuff from dems.
So I’m leaning toward they didn’t buy targeted data, they just bought the cheapest data they could. They may have no idea who their likely voters are.
Florida and Texas are trying really hard to be swing states, we should send him contact info of D.trump and E.musk

So that’s what his shirt says
Where is his neck?
His mother took it.
Hey I'm a swing state voter! Can I sign up myself for the money? I will sign saying I support the first and second amendments (I really like that part in the second about the "well regulated militia"). I mean, $47 is $47.
We should get Democrats to fake sign up for this, get the money, and donate it to Kamala.
$47 space bucks.
