Elon Musk’s super PAC did not announce a lottery winner Wednesday in its daily $1 million giveaway that sparked concern from legal experts and prompted a warning from the Justice Department.
**Why it matters: **The DOJ sent a letter notifying America PAC, Musk’s pro-Trumpgroup, that its lottery could violate federal law against paying people to register to vote, per multiple outlets
- The SpaceX CEO had pledged to give away $1 million every day to registered voters in swing states who sign the super PAC’s petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments.
- Musk endorsed Trump after his first assassination attempt, and Trump has dangled the possibility of Musk heading a government committee to slash regulations if reelected.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/us/politics/elon-musk-department-of-justice-giveaway.htmlCan he give away rain checks for “Kung Fu lessons” with Ghislaine Maxwell?
This is win/win/win for him. He gets to increase MAGA turnout by people thinking they are going to win a million dollars, he now won’t pay anyone the million dollars, and he can blame it on the “partisan Democrat Justice Department”.
I don’t think there’s a good alternative, though, let him illegally pay for votes!? The only thing we can do is make sure us, our friends, and family have a plan for voting, then donate and volunteer…
The good alternative is to throw his ass in jail.
And then punch him in the dick!
The ol dick twist!
