Bezos simply told one of the leading newspapers what to do. Musk buys votes. Oligarchy is about to become reality, and it's powered by useful idiots.


its been reality...


Musk pays people to sign a petition, which is legal.


So legal that he stopped after being warned by the feds.


Who says he stopped? I can't find that in the news, and the offer is still up at:

Even the Biden DOJ only warned him that it "might be illegal". They're stretching the law, trying to apply a law against paying people to register to vote, but Elon will pay people who are already registered so that's quite a stretch.


Widely reported today.
