Worth it?
A group of 11 former Republican officials have become the latest public figures to raise questions over the legality of cash incentives being offered by tech billionaire Elon Musk to voters before the US election on 5 November.
Mr Musk’s campaign group America PAC, which was set up to support Donald Trump in the presidential contest, calls on registered voters in seven swing states to sign a petition. Each day until the election, one signatory is selected at random and awarded a million-dollar prize.
But legal experts and several Democrats have suggested the giveaway may break American law by offering money for an act that requires someone to be signed up as a voter.
And besides Musk doesn’t even go to this school.
No surprise there. He is also making it difficult for opinions that go counter to his own to be puiblished on X. So much for the emperor of free speech. It’s become pretty obvious that those who squeak about ‘free speech’ only support it when it concerns lies about immigrants eating dogs and cats and rousing up vigilantes to hinder FEMA’s efforts to help the victims of hurricanes.
