Wasn’t this always known? Musk’s defense when he was sued for this in the 24 pres election was that it specifically wasn’t a lottery system and that the winner isn’t random but is vetted and picked before announcement, which is evidently legal.

Quote:

In court Monday, Musk’s lawyers acknowledged that the super PAC isn’t picking winners “by chance.”

“There is no prize to be won,” Musk lawyer Chris Gober said, and the winners “are not chosen by chance.” Therefore, it is not a lottery, Gober argued.

Instead, Gober said the so-called “prize” is actually compensation for serving as a spokesperson for the super PAC – and the recipients of the $1 million “are selected based on their suitability to serve as spokesperson for America PAC.” They “earn” the million dollars as payment for their work.

I think he’s trying to save Tesla’s sales freefall more than anything tbh

Lol

Trump has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and have Musk epstein’d. I’d almost consider voting for his third term if he did that

Genuine question, is this sort of like how Google is Mozilla’s biggest supporter or how Microsoft supported Apple years ago?

Fork found in kitchen. More at 9.

It’s what happens when the past 80 years of your country have been spent entirely subsidized by America’s gross paternalistic attitude to the “Old War.” Western European institutions cannot stand on their own without the bleeding of American capital/labor

The French literally burn their country down anytime cuts to social services or tax increases are proposed. They literally can’t stand to budget for foreign aide like the US has done for decades

Two is “hey wait, I pay for everything and all you do is lie on the sofa and bitch that I’m not doing enough.”

The rest of the world deserves Trump 2.0 far more than the average American.

Also,

Trump and Elon are literally European agents (yes, Elon is Euro in every aspect but place of birth, and the Trump-Putin connection needs no further explanation) who have invaded the American government, neither of those two are homegrown.

a doctor problem or a systemic issue

Two phrases for the same thing.

The handful of well-intentioned docs are the exception, not the rule.

The Opioid Crisis might’ve started from Purdue Pharmaceuticals, but it was carried out by rank-and-file doctors who gladly attended those “all expenses paid” seminars (in Hawaii) and ignored/gaslit victims for years once reports of how destructive the prescription were.

In my eyes, members of the Medical Cartel of America have two primary goals: wealth and prestige. The whole “helping people” thing is just a pill they have to swallow (heh) to achieve them.

“Do good around the world” by creating a fake social media app to sow civil unrest in Cuba? We’ve got different ideas of “good,” I think.

I would’ve given kudos to Bush, Obama, Trump(1), or Biden if they did this. The only one calling this a “genius move” is you, it’s just logical.

America should not be the world police. We never should’ve been in the international situation we are now. A literally uncountable amount of money spend over the past few decades for what? American poverty is higher than ever, our infrastructure is worse than ever, and American perception abroad is worse than ever. All this dispite bankrupting ourselves to help countries that don’t like us and topple regimes that we don’t like. Humanitarianism.

“Soft power,” fuck off, I don’t want hundreds of billions of black dollars being spent to undermine the sovereignty and merit of foreign countries.

Broken clock. This should’ve happened several presidents ago. It’s a shame that Trump will get credit for maybe the best foreign policy decision in modern US politics

My hometown lol. Swing by Pal’s and get a Dr. Enuf and cheddar rounds for me

Agreed neighbor. Swing by Asheville sometime if you’re from NET (TN refugee here)

Both shams when we know that the DNC picks their favorite from day one and works with the media to form their narrative. 90% of voters are just looking to be told who to vote for.

Look no further than Kamala. Right up until 21 July, when Biden was facing calls to resign by rank and file Dems every day, we were getting puff piece after puff piece that “Biden still polls better than Kamala Harris,” “Biden is still the best possible candidate.” Well, Biden eventually caved and literally overnight Harris became not only the real best chance, but actually was looking really good. Nothing about her changed. None of her policies changed overnight. The only thing that changed was that she was now the status quo choice and therefore “safe” for the MSM to endorse.

Bipartisan means both sides supported it. He probably signed it because he actually supported it

I hate Biden too but the ban had bipartisan support and should be one of his accomplishments
