    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.

      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 district attorneys and the department of Justice. At the state level Elon is vulnerable to the law but the federal judiciary is never going to make a move on Musk until the King of America tells them too.

            The state supreme court in Wisconsin declined to press charges for it despite what he did being objectively being illegal in that state, honestly I doubt we’ll see any action against him in any state due to fear of trump or trump supporters attacking anybody who does try to hold him accountable.
