They sold their votes to a con man and are surprised they didn’t get paid?
Really?
This is hardly the first presidency that was bought.
Elon Musk: “hahaha, suckers”
Elon really hoping that he can skate by without legal consequences as long as he just pretends he didn’t actually bribe voters.
Think about it though, he didn’t pay them. He can easily spin a story about how he was ‘caught up in the moment’ and made an offer without thinking, that he was later advised would be illegal.
Idk, I feel like I’ve seen crazier legal turnarounds in my lifetime. Imagine he references the purchase of Twitter as a pattern of behavior making offers that he isn’t actually prepared to fulfill?
Who could have seen this coming???
THIS COMMENT IS IN ALL CAPS
Honestly at this point the judge should rule against them for being idiots
“The court finds you contemptible.”
Putting aside the fact that musk is an asshole, the value of $100 to him is probably less than what 1 cent is worth to most other people, and I can imagine that if most people owed someone 1c, they would probably never get around to paying it.
It’s a different world for the ultra rich, and even more so for the ultra ultra ultra ultra richest.
That’s because you don’t have a billionaire’s brain. They’re somewhere between “I don’t give a damn about these people” and “LOL! Look how I stiffed these losers!”
He can pay them back in burning cybertrucks.
No. Fucking. Shit.
Musk meant $100 credit, towards the purchase of a cybertruck. 🫤
Or a brand new, top of the line toy Yoda!
Maybe it was supposed to be 100 doll hairs… common mistake.
It only makes sense that you could buy a presidency in an uber capitalistic country.
Yeah no shit.
Paying them would be illegal
Conning them isn’t.
Well, it’s still illegal. Just with a considerably smaller penalty
Penalty?
It’s more like a processing fee :)
I am not surprised at all
