Elon Musk’s America PAC didn’t keep its promise to pay swing state voters who signed a pro-Trump petition ahead of the 2024 election, and who enlisted others to do the same, a new lawsuit alleges.

The case, a proposed national class action suit, was filed within the last week in a federal court in the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, a state that was viewed as critical to Donald Trump’s effort to return to the White House.

A related case was filed in April that only applied to residents of Pennsylvania.

Lead plaintiffs are three people who participated in the America PAC initiative while they were living in Pennsylvania, Nevada and Georgia. One formally worked as a canvasser for America PAC in Michigan and in Georgia, the complaint says.

In his efforts to propel Trump to victory, Musk spent around $300 million while also stumping at rallies and online for his preferred candidate. Musk, the world’s wealthiest person, had offered payments — initially $47 and later $100 — to those who signed a petition supporting his pro-Trump PAC. Additional payments were offered for each eligible person they referred who signed the petition.

Is anyone really surprised?

Nope.

He does this all the time. Its the only way he can reach a climax now that his penis is all messed up.

You don't understand Elons jenius, this is another 400 IQ move.
You can't be convicted of buying votes if you don't pay anyone

>You can't be convicted of buying votes if you don't pay anyone
I'm not so sure about that, but I'm not an election fraud lawyer.

>>1406198
Exactly.

You're allowed to lie to voters to persuade them to vote but you aren't allowed to pay them to vote for you.

So lying and promising to pay them if they vote for you is legal.

Elon is so clever. Time for that cleverness to backfire on him.

On the one hand, contracts should be enforced, or at the very least conmen should be penalized. On the other hand, Elon's an obvious crook and was never going to pay these people and I think that should be a consideration.

In the same way you wouldn't enforce a contract written in crayon between 2 children that didn't know any better, you shouldn't enforce a contract between a dipshit conman and anyone mentally disabled enough to work for him. This was obviously not a serious agreement to anyone with a functional frontal lobe. Hell, that the parties involved are Republicans already shaves a few several IQ points off.

We just can't function as a society if we don't stop rewarding people for getting suckered by people like Elon and Trump. These people just need to suffer the consequences if their actions.

I think a good middle ground is the money Elon agreed to pay these people gets taken from him and paid out to care homes for the disabled.

To be fair a ton of these people that canvassed for him were black folk riding in the back of vans. I doubt there were any contracts involved...

Elon comes from a culture that doesn't necessarily treat blacks with white-man levels of respect.

>>1406212
I'm sure contracts existed, verbal or otherwise.

>>1406204
Isn't that itself fraud though?

>>1406250
Yes, yes it is.

Getting a court to say so isn't so easy
