Her disloyalty was accidentally telling the truth. What a fool.

That's a good little free speech absolutist.

Remove content you are responsible for creating because you are self incriminating yourself.

Billionaire fear is back on the menu boys!

Keep it up and one day we'll toast to his incarceration, hopefully with all the "empathy and due process" they've been showing to our America citizens and green card holders.

It's nice to see that they are worried about her saying "vote" instead of daring the court system to stop them.

PACs should be illegal with the power they wield.

Nah give him the same immigrant treatment they're giving everyone else, no due process.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

I feel like that's being too kind.

Citizens United was a real turn for the worse

I've lived under that monster my entire life.

She said the truth out loud :

"My name’s Ekaterina Deistler," she said in a video posted Monday morning. "I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars."

What's her motivation in this?

Did she realise how incredibly corrupt this is and wanted to call it out?

Did she want to shout out how fantastic the system is, that just by voting for the right candidate she earned a million?

Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?

What in the world could make this person admit to selling their vote to a fascist?

Is she just stupid, and thought this was a brag?

I'm guessing it's this one. Seems to be a thing for a particular group.

The headline doesn't tell the full story.

They then re-filmed it with her not saying the word vote 🤦

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They refilmed it without the truthiness.

[-] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

Can somebody please take the time to explain to me how this legally works? Like he’s just out here paying private citizens to vote? Fucking. Geeez.

[-] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 47 points 3 months ago

It's not legal, its just that laws don't matter for the ruling class In the USA. It works because the only people with the ability to legally arrest Musk aren't going to do so, and any court cases can just be endlessly delayed or appealed.

The elite are not bound by the law.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
