Neverf knew this woudl be legal and it is from reports. So openly canvassing paying millions for Trump. Could be that this is one reason why Tump won? In India such 'bribery; is not allowed. Correct me if I am wrong This link has more
The giveaway is not a lottery-like contest and the recipients are not chosen randomly, his lawyer said.

He got around it by paying them to register to vote. To me it still is not right. But he didn't pay them directly to vote. Some might not have.

Certainly not directly but he campaigned for Trump and therefore it is obvious who he wanted voters to vote for.

I don't understand what he was doing there at all. But it seems he may have induced people to sign up to vote under the false impression they had a chance of winning $1million. But I guess persuading people to sign up to vote is not the same as bribing them to vote for a particular candidate - although of course if the people targeted are more likely to vote a certain way, that could be the outcome.

We had actors and actresses flat out tell people to vote for Kamala. Elon is an idiot of epic proportions, but you are right, he just wanted them to register. Although, obviously he preferred Trump.

Campaigning vitorously for Trump and then making that offer is quite obvious.

He did not pay them to vote, just to register. He didn’t say who to vote for.

"Mr Musk has been aggressively campaigning for Republican White House candidate Donald Trump in swing states across the country, and his committee has been pushing hard in Pennsylvania," It is obvious. when he offers payment what his intentions were.

This is felony in my country. It can´t be done. Corrupt judges can look the other way if they are paid. But that amount of money cannot be given without being noticed. Disgusting. But nothing not disgusting can be expected from Musk. I´m sad for his children.

No. Trump won fair and square, just like Biden won fair and square the last election.
