But giving water to someone standing in line is illegal

[TJ]

strange to encourage people support the constitution when you're at a rally for a guy who said he would suspend the constitution

[caco]

These are the people who cry about election interference. Pathetic.

[jeanjones]

Nothing says free speech like bribery. 🙄

We’ve talked a lot about how the 2024 election might impact the markets. Has anyone made significant gains or losses in previous election years?.

No one has to give me a million dollars to sign a petition to support the constitution of this country. I'm fed up living in a state where the constitution has been thrown in a waste basket.

Just read from another news article that he's supporting Trump so that there will be more subsidies for his companies, more tariffs on Chinese EV cars, his competitor, and the power over agencies that regulate his companies. This is a textbook example of oligarchy and conflict of interest.

How can anyone say they support the law when they support someone who breaks the law so much?

[drgonkid]

Man I love how you keep covering this like this is normal

[DavidwayneCPA]

Strange things happens when you give Billionaires tax cuts.

[flufwix]

This is illegal. That should be the headline. Why isn’t it?

[CGISpiderLegs]

Or if he's determined to give $1 million a day, why not give it to a family or community in need rather than this BS publicity stunt? There are a bunch of hurricane victims out there right now. He doesn't think that's a more worthy endeavor? What an attention seeking little piece of garbage.

[DanBuell]

If he believes in the constitution why is he supporting Trump?

[Anonymous-pcqk]

You just know he's secretly picking the people who he is giving the money too

[deegee]

Pathetic on all levels. Bribery is abhorrent. Imagine the screaming and whining if the other side did this.

[trevorsole]

Backing the Constitution, but supporting someone who wants to dismantle it...?

[hxkwuvm]

Call me crazy
But wouldn't someone who just won 1 million dollars be more excited than that
Talk about failed gimmick
You can sign up whoever you please. Your tricks won't work, nit this time

[summerobannon]

Make me happy to see a well loved African American loving his country.

[ExplodingDarth]

Isn't Elon an immigrant? Where's the crowd complaining about foreign interference in US elections when the guy doing the interfering is the richest on the planet?

This is to say, Elon is a US citizen and i consider him such, just pointing out hypocrisy.

[treetopjones]

Paying people to sign a petition is not legal.
