Election Year or Fear!

... and now Musk is giving away $1M, in sort of raffle, every weekend to a Trump voter.

Surely, that must count as bribery and/or unfair influencing of the ballot?

Looking at the wording of the conditions I doubt he’s breaking the law but obviously we here don’t know the whole story or the whole of US state law. The ‘raffle’ is open to all, and there is no link to voting. Not That I can see anyway.

It isn’t ‘open to all’. It’s only for voters in the ‘swing states’ who sign Musk’s PAC petition.

I did specifically say 'state', and no-one's prevented from signing the petition

It clearly isn’t! At least have the good grace to accept when you are wrong.

Absolutely astonishing reply. Andy…we all make mistakes, you and I included…that’s no big deal. All our opinions are questionable and very often you and I differ. However when you say something which is so demonstrably untrue/mistaken just put your hand up and admit it.

The ‘raffle’ is not open to all (FACT)…and that is the point.

You aren't going to win this one rA. I was no less vague about the parameters of the raffle than MA, who introduced the subject, yet it's mine you are nit-picking about. MA and I both rely on a bit of intuition on the part of those who read our posts, when MA wasn't specific about what part of the USA it related to, I knew without taking issue with him/his post that it related to certain states. You could and should have done the same with my follow up post. I wonder why you didn't.

For the sake of other posters, End of discussion (I hope)
