Elon Musk

The fact that Musk is in Pennsylvania until the election is making me very nervous. Especially since he is now paying people $100 to sign a “petition”. No telling what other kinda shady shit he has going on. Hope the Harris/Walz campaign has lawyers keeping an eye of him and his activities regarding the election. Has the media reported anything about the size of the crowds that Musk has had in PA?

Trump has promised Elon a position in the administration and Elon is ready to move on to his next gig. Being a billionaire and likely malignant narcissist, he wants the power and attention that he will get. That's just my opinion.

But I guess if there was rules citizens united ended that!

That said it’d be funny if the people took the money and voted for VP Harris !

to collect a person's contact information isn't. IOW, "awful, but lawful".

What's interesting is that voter lists are available for purchase. You can go right to the PA Dept of State website and find out how to get one. That's probably a lot cheaper than spending $100/name.

Is a nothing burger. He like Trump is an attention seeker. I would be a lot more concerned about the rich folks behind the curtain who want to rule. I can’t control any of them so I am not going to worry. Let’s do the best we can and see what happens after Election Day.

Of course, if you go to these sites you will be shocked by the proposals attributed to Harris.

Dirty tricks, the definition of a morally bankrupt campaign.
