Elon Musk’s Vote Buying Scheme Sure Looks Illegal. Will It Matter?
Musk is trying to leverage his extreme wealth to get Trump elected. But his efforts could fall flat.
Hopefully.
Oh, the legal system won't do shit because it's broken as fuck... but I'm hoping Harris wins and the constant stream of Tesla subsidies gets cut off.
That fucker should be destitute.

It won't. The US has made SpaceX its primary service provider for launch services. We've also made it a point to try and insource our production of electric vehicles, and Tesla remains the primary manufacturer for these kinds of cars.
We can't stop. We won't stop. We'll just keep shoving Elon money with one hand while wagging a finger at him with the other.
SpaceX would keep running when Ford Jr steps down or is removed
No. Those laws, rules and regulations only apply to us peasants.
rich people only get in trouble when they fuck over other rich people. see also, martha stewart
Would love it to matter. Hard to say if it does.
Oh man, I would love it if he spent hundreds of millions on the Trump campaign, only for him to majorly lose.
If Trump wins, there is 0 chance that there are any consequences. If Harris wins, there could be legal consequences for Elon eventually.
But if the vote buying is allowed to continue, it doesn't matter whether Elon goes to jail or not, the operation will still have had the chance to influence an election. They should be taking action to shut this down as quickly as possible. But I'm not holding my breath.
Quickly somebody write a headline asking if he'll survive October!
Americans love to watch the "Will billionaire flagrantly violating the law face any kind of consequence?" because the answers live somewhere in between "LOLZ, Nah" and "Very light tap on the wrist" and its so fun to find out which one we get.
Ugh.
Other than giving him an excuse when he inevitably skips out on the cheque? No.
