The Justice Department warned Elon Musk that his $1 million giveaway could come with a prison sentence—and it appears he’s actually paying attention.
After receiving a warning from the Justice Department, Elon Musk has stopped his $1 million giveaway to swing voters from his super PAC.
The tech CEO pledged Saturday to give away the hefty sum each day to one registered voter in a battleground state who signed America PAC’s pro–First and Second Amendment pledge. Every day since then, a winner has been announced: three Pennsylvania voters and one North Carolina voter.
However, the move immediately raised legal questions, as it’s a federal crime to pay someone to register to vote, punishable by a fine of $10,000, five years in prison, or both. Experts were divided, with Musk’s plan falling into a legal gray area at best. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro called the move “deeply concerning,” and author Stephen King accused Musk of “paying to register Republicans.”
We reached out to Jeffrey Epstein for comment.
At the time of this post he has not responded to our inquiry.
The only way to actually be punished as a rich person is to endanger the position of other rich people.
It’s the unforgivable sin.
We reached out to Bernie Madoff for comment…
Bernie Madoff took money from a LOT of rich people - both directly and indirectly.
yeah that’s my point. that’s why he got sentenced.
