Three Pennsylvanians are the first recipients of Elon Musk’s daily $1 million prize to swing-state voters who signed a petition powered by his pro-Donald Trump America PAC.
Each had already voted.
— from a story by Fallon Roth in the Phildelphia Inquirer, October 22, 2024.
Obviously, I’m living in the wrong state. Elon Musk, reportedly the world’s wealthiest man, has reportedly begun giving away $1 million a day to randomly-selected registered voters in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin, if they are willing to sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments.
Hell, yes, I’m registered to vote, and I would totally sign that petition in a heartbeat, if I lived in one of the seven battleground states that Donald Trump needs to win if he wants another four years in the White House.
Who, exactly, doesn’t support the First and Second Amendments? Please explain.
But I’m stuck here in Colorado. Two hours away from the Arizona border. Those lucky devils.
Yesterday, the America PAC celebrated the fifth winner of $1 million. Elon is not even requiring people to vote. Just sign a stupid petition. And apparently, he’s willing to pay you if you get someone else from a battleground state to sign the petition:
In appreciation for your support, you will receive $47 for each registered voter you refer that signs this petition.
Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
Pennsylvania voters can get $100 for each registered voter they refer to the petition. Instead of $47. I guess Pennsylvania is like, the Super Swing State?
This whole thing has me confused. Reportedly, Elon Musk plans to live on Mars in the near future. So why does he care about who the next President might be?
Surely, the First and Second Amendments won’t be terribly important, when he gets to Mars. I assume he will be hand-picking the people who will go to Mars with him, and I am willing to bet dollars to donuts he’s not going to allow guns on his spaceship. He may be crazy, but he’s not stupid.
And I wonder why he’s been making a big deal about election integrity. He’s warning his audiences that, if Donald Trump doesn’t win, then the election has obviously been rigged.
Duh. We already knew that.
Sounds like he really wants Donald Trump in the White House. Maybe… so the federal government will pay for his big spaceship, and his trip to Mars?
That’s what I’m thinking. Even with a fortune worth $250 billion, that’s probably not enough to get him and his friends to Mars. Can we imagine how many French pastries he will want to bring with him? (He’s been know to tweet about croissants.) And he might want to bring a sushi chef as part of the crew; he’s been seen eating in sushi restaurants, and he has tweeted about his love for tuna sashimi.
Of course, the spaceship will need to be big enough to fit a Tesla in the cargo hold. Elon told Joe Rogan that he doesn’t like to exercise, so I feel pretty confident he will want to drive around instead of walking. Or, God forbid, jogging.
What’s in it for Donald Trump? He’s probably too old and overweight to be much use on Mars. He will just have to stay behind and make America great again. Which is what we want him to do. Make America great enough to send Elon Musk to Mars.
