Democrats should enter Musk $million giveaway

Why not? Sign Musk's petition to support the first amendment (duh) , and, well, the second amendment - the premises behind participating and getting $47 and a chance to win a million.
If you do not support 2ndA in its current subversion (as I do not) just hold your nose and sign and take the $47 for entering the Elon Musk bribery canard, the premises of which are not legally binding.
Any party is eligible, and you need not even vote, just be registered.
With even partial democrat participation odds are that at least one Dem would win a million. Could then donate some to Kamela 11th hour.

(Hope I am not repeating a previous idea)

I guess I was duped. I should have linked the article. They even used names of people who weren't paid.

A tactic of which I approve.

Note: You have to sign the petition and another person has to sign the petition listing you as their referrer.

From Rolling Stone:

Elon Musk‘s America PAC initially promised $47 per signature on a short statement: “The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” The form asks for the signatory’s name, phone number, email address, and mailing address. However, you don’t get $47 for signing the pledge yourself, and can only claim this money if you refer another registered voter who signs, listing you as their referrer. Both individuals must be registered voters in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin for the referrer to be eligible for payment.

So he can sign up even more phony voter registrations and create even more doubt.

No thanks.
