Elon #Musk brought sooo much innovation from #Africa to the #Democray of the #UnitedStates of #America.
@glynmoody
This is how to handle the #Musk problem - convict him of blatant #votebuying thus corrupting the US democratic process and, also, lying under oath.
"the presiding US district judge Gerald Pappert disagreed w tt contention in a 5pg opinion, writing tt e motivations of e Philadelphia DA, Larry Krasner, were irrelevant – & that his office had the power to bring the case in state court.. The case was set for a hearing in Pennsylvania state court on Monday, the day before the #election"
"A judge ordered all parties, including Elon Musk, to attend a court hearing in Philadelphia today in a lawsuit seeking to stop a political action committee controlled by the billionaire from awarding $1m to registered US voters in battleground states before the 5 November election."

Elon Musk Veers Into Clearly Illegal Vote Buying,
Offering $1 Million Per Day Lottery Prize Only to Registered Voters
Hugo Lowell: “Elon Musk says on stage at a town hall that 'America PAC' will be awarding $1 million every day until the election
to a registered Pennsylvania voter who has signed his petition.
Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality, 
this one is clearly illegal.
Musk awarded the first $1 million this evening to someone at the town hall,
bringing the guy onto the stage and handing him a jumbo check, lotto-style.
Musk is essentially incentivizing likely Trump voters in PA to register to vote:
Petition is to support for 1A and 2A, so basically R voters.
But they also have to be registered to vote, so if they weren’t already, they would do it now.”
See 52 U.S.C. 10307(c):
“Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, 
or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting 
shall be fined not more than $10,000 
or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…”
#Trump is now #bribing #voters and buying #votes in #Pennsylvania. He went into a #groceryStore with a camera crew and made a big show of giving a woman $100 at the register for her grocery purchase. He immediately followed that by claiming he'd be doing more of that from the #WhiteHouse. Is this even legal??
