Yesterday, I reported that Elon Musk was putting his mouth where his money was, or his money where his mouth is, or some effective combination of both.

This morning, SportsSkeeda reported a lucrative story headlined, “"Election interference?" — Netizens react to Elon Musk giving $47 to every person who refers a swing state voter.” The gist was the far-left exploded in rage after Elon’s America PAC website published two huge offers and took a massive legal risk. It’s almost like a giant troll of the left; Elon was practically provoking them:



First, the offers. Under “Join Our Team,” America PAC is offering to hire voter registration and turnout workers in the tossup states—including storm-torn North Carolina— at an astonishing $30 an hour plus bonuses.

The PAC’s biggest problem will be holding all the moles and infiltrators at bay.

Second, AmericaPAC promises to pay $47 for each new or existing registered voter in any of the seven tossup states who signs the online petition. I tried to sign it, selfishly using ‘jchilders@coffeeandcovid.com ’ as referrer, but Floridians don’t qualify. If you’re qualified and up for it, sign Elon’s petition here.

This could be massive if enough folks hear about it soon enough. Each turnout worker gets $30/hr plus bonuses for registering new voters of any political persuasion. But on top of that, for each newly registered voter, the turnout worker gets another $47 if the new voter also e-signs the petition—making conservative voters much more lucrative.

I’ll do the math for Portland readers. If the turnout worker registers and e-petitions only four people an hour —say, standing outside their local grocery store— that amounts to $30 in wages plus $188 in petition referral fees, or a whopping $218 an hour — almost $9,000 for a 40-hour work week. That beats most white-collar jobs and even “one weird trick for making money online.”

If you know someone who needs work, or is retired and has some free time, let them know today. It might be worth heading for one of the tossup states right now, before the short remaining period to register new voters closes. It might even be worth taking some saved-up vacation. Even for lawyers.

Partisan Democrats are so furious they are spitting chai seeds. To them, these two deals, when placed side-by-side, smell a whole lot like paid voter registration, a federal felony. But the PAC is probably in the clear. None of the PAC’s money is paid to newly-registered voters. And Democrats have helpfully already litigated over both the deal’s parts: paying turnout helpers is fine, and paying petition workers is also legal. Turnabout is fair play.

The fact that Elon’s offers are legal explains why I couldn’t cite any corporate media source. Legacy media is studiously silent about this story. So spread it around!

Do you think it is safe to sign? I am a registered voter in GA but do not plan to vote this time. I think very little of all these people leaving the sinking ship of the Dems to jump in the Rep train. I rather wish Elon spend some money on all those that lost their houses and everything in it in NC.

Finally, fighting like Democrats.

This is why we need to get active locally and replace the old RINOs whose attitude is "Well, if we lose, people will be scared and we'll get more donations to go on Cruise Ship Conferences to listen to David French speak"

Yes, I think so.

I have said it here before but I voted straight D since Jimmy Carter. It is disorienting but I think the old Democrat vs Republican paradigm is meaningless now.
It is Good vs Evil and I think Elon's giant brain has processed the ramifications of letting Evil win. This is the reason he has gone all-in for Trump which can not be construed in any scenario as self serving.

I also voted straight Democrat before, but there are no straight Democrats anymore...

Bada boom!

But true, the old Democrat vs Republican paradigm is gone. Not meaningless. Republicans are now the better supporters of the working class.

And Elon probably figured that he was the richest guy in the world, so how can he do the most good now? I think he really is doing a lot of good, though I'm a bit suspicious of Twitter because they definitely do still censor whole accounts instead of individual Tweets. Seems like a way to suppress certain voices.

He literally is and is not allowed to help. No one is really. I have a former friend in Asheville. No one can get anything in without government approval.

Wait till Wednesday and Thursday in FL. The fun has just started. I'm actually not a big fan of Musk, but he's trying. I give kudos when it's due. What is transportation secretary Butt fag doing? Push qualified people away volunteering their time? That's what's happening. Literally one of the richest men on the planet. Where is Bill Gates or Soros in all this?

People could have been rescued, supplies delivered, fuel, etc. Nope. This will be a 4 figure death toll. FL will be worse as they're generally more stubborn. Lot's of people going to die this week.

Nothing meaningful is accomplished without risk. Ultimately, it's a personal decision, but given the precedents afforded the D's, this is the best chance to "Overwhelm the Steal."

TLDR; Do it.
