Elon Musk likely committed a felony in Wisconsin

… Elon Musk likely committed a felony in Wisconsin with his illegal vote buying scheme, which he continues to try and claim is just about encouraging people to sign a “petition.” It is the same playbook he used in the 2024 election, when he caught Democrats flatfooted with the scheme and nothing was done to stop it. This time, Dems were ready.

… Musk offered people $100 if they will sign his petition to “stop activist judges”. Then, after they show proof they have voted, their name is entered in a supposed lottery where Musk hands out $1 million prizes at random intervals. But he claims that the $1 million is being paid to them not as a solicitation to vote, which would be a felony, but for serving as a “spokesman” for one day.

… Except this time, Musk forgot to claim the “spokesman” scam when he put out his initial solicitation to his 220+ million followers: “On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. Entrance is limited to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election. I will also personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote. This is super important.”

… Many hours later, after he was called out on it by officials in Wisconsin accusing him of committing a felony, Musk deleted the original tweet and reposted it with his scam “spokesman” language: “To clarify a previous post .. I will hand over checks for a million dollars to 2 people to be spokesmen for the petition.”
