Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Florida and Texas are trying really hard to be swing states, we should send him contact info of D.trump and E.musk
That's so transparently the bare minimum separation needed to make sure they can't be sued for blatantly buying votes. Fucking heinous anti-American tactics.
"Just asking questions, brah"
That's what separates this. They want real polling data, not realizing the only shitheads who would answer this call are poor Trump voters who don't know any better.
Let's be real though, after all the grifts he's been pulling on this people, they could ALL use $47.
blatantly buying votes
That's assuming you believe Elon's good for the money. How many times has this guy walked out when the check came due?
It would be quaint to go back to the era of vote buying machine politics. This is just another scam from our nation's premiere scam artist.
I am curious what is the limit? I didn’t think any amount is legal.
Well, he is an apartheid era South African.
He won’t actually pay out. He’ll die in arbitration before he sends any money.
You’d think the owner of a shady software company would know he could get that information from data brokers. Hell, voter rolls are usually available for a relatively small fee: https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/access-to-and-use-of-voter-registration-lists
Any competent campaign would already have identified their likely voters.
I’ve gotten a lot of crap from conservatives this year. First time that’s really happened. Usually just get stuff from dems.
So I’m leaning toward they didn’t buy targeted data, they just bought the cheapest data they could. They may have no idea who their likely voters are.
If I lived in one of those states, is there anything to keep me from signing in, collecting the money, and vote Dems anyway?
Nothing except the realization that Elon isn't going to cut anyone a check.
That'd be a contract violation and could be class actioned.
No, you can't pay someone to vote a certain way.
Oh you definitely can't - but Elon is offering compensation for a petition... if he fails to properly compensate petitioners he absolutely could be brought a class action or individual small claims for contract violation.
Oh I misunderstood what you meant, my mistake. Yep, you're right.
No worries!
nope you don't have to do shit
Imagine selling your soul for $47 only to have the check bounce
It’ll turn out to be $47 X-bucks. (bux?). USD Value is $0.47.
Isn’t that just Truth Social stock?
Hey I'm a swing state voter! Can I sign up myself for the money? I will sign saying I support the first and second amendments (I really like that part in the second about the "well regulated militia"). I mean, $47 is $47.
We should get Democrats to fake sign up for this, get the money, and donate it to Kamala.
$47 space bucks.
please don't make up fake people and submit it.
