Musk promises to go to Wisconsin to personally deliver $2 million to voters in Supreme Court race

Billionaire Elon Musk said he plans to hold a rally in Wisconsin to “personally hand over” $2 million to a pair of voters who have already cast their ballots in the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court race, despite a state law that prohibits giving anything of value in exchange for voting.

This is a big fat finger in the face of democracy and law and order. And nobody is doing anything about it.

Everyone knows what's left to do after nobody does anything. Yet nobody is doing that either.

This certainly seems like he could be arrested and face state chargers for election interference here. Wisconsin, get your shit together.

How this is legal? In the past when a private citizen would go up to a politician and hand him a bag of money for some favor, we called that bribery/corruption and both would go to jail. Now a billionaire gives a personal contribution of 300 million to a politician in exchange for a high government position, and no one lifts a finger.
