Actually there are 7/50 such states as I forgot Wisconsin…apologies for that.

In addition Musk is now giving voters in PA $100 for signing his petition plus a further $100 for any referred signatories. The amount elsewhere appears to be $47. Is that okay too?

Would you have been happy if either the Tories or Labour had been offering people money to win their support and incentivise them to vote accordingly in the ‘Red Wall’ seats at the last election? I doubt it…and I wouldn’t either.
No I wouldn't be happy for what is clearly buying votes in this country or in USA for that matter - but USA do have a far dodgier history of voting malpractice. Doesn't make it right but a little more predictable perhaps. Trump's accusations vs Dominion voting machines may have been unproven but no smoke without fire?
