Vote Harris and help defeat musk and trump simple as that!

[possumverde]

Yep, President can't pardon a state conviction...

[jasonm]

Geee i wonder why he would want it in a federal court instead of a state court. 🙄

[ptrathos]

Oh no. Here comes citizen united part 2. Do we really want more money in elections? I can’t believe people are cheering this on.

[Comewealth]

Obviously some people are above the law in this country

[Raaddller]

Musk, can you project a laser Trump ad on the moons surface? Can the moon be exploited for advertising?

[jimough]

Guess who gets to hear the appeal? Do the names Thomas and Alito sound familiar? VOTE BLUE to effect judicial reform and make the Supreme Court accountable.

[domasherpa]

Are you saying it’s a crime to give out money in exchange for someone’s vote, according to 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to Influence Voting? Shocker...

[TJR-CO]

why is Judicial in this country so. FREAKIN BROKEN !!! PROSECUTE SOMEONE. HOLY BALLZ

[EdSeyfert]

Seems to me that Elon Musk is starting to act like Trump

[kimkramarski-smith]

Remember the taxpayer is paying for this screwball DA

[ajmcglynn]

It's like a magic trick. While we focus on how he could be trying to "get their vote" we should be looking at what they can do with all those signatures and how that could interfere and delay the certification process in these swing states.

[williamroyer]

It appears Elon Musk is just another crime guy 🙄

[dacrd]

Bots in the comments once again. TRUMP 2024

[montragar]

Go watch the video where he explicitly says that the giveaway is for those signing a petition, and you don't even have to vote. Stop wasting time with lawsuits.

[bearlineproductions]

I can pretty much predict how Federal law will rule...I'll give you 3 hints.

[politkcorrecto]

Let me understand, someone who seeks an impartial court is a coward? And isn't it that those who say that want to start a persecution just like they started against the Republican?

[jackicrew]

Musk needs to be investigated by the Foreign Exchange Commission.
