  1. … Okay, so, rigging a sweepstakes is incredibly illegal and you can’t say ‘it was in the fine print’ because that’s deceptive practices. What is the game here? Are they hoping that they’ll win the election and Trump will rig the court case or just pardon him?

  2. He literally saw the Mr. Beast fake sweepstakes and the fallout of it and said, “Yeah imma do that”.

  3. People really thought a guy like Elon would just wantonly give away his horde of money to random plebs on the street? This is Elon we’re talking about, not Mr. Beast.

  4. Hey, it’s what everyone with common sense knew it was when he started doing it. It was either going to be something like this, or just fake winners tied to the campaign who he never pays at all.

  5. This is how you behave when you’ve already been promised a blanket pardon, from someone who expects to become President whether he wins the election or not.

  6. It’s going to be really funny watching Musk try to walk all this heinous shit back if/when Trump loses tomorrow.

  7. We made a lottery!

    That’s illegal in this state. Only our state sanctioned lottery is legal.

    We rigged it… so it must be legal!! Gotcha bitch!!

    Have fun in jail, Elmo.

  8. America needs to get its shit together. For the last year, the World has watched this high-drama, low-truth shitshow. Like a dysfunctional family incapable of working together, engulfed in its privilege and vanity.

    From the MAGA side, it’s been a horrendous Wrestlemania-style pantomime of horror, fueled by homophobia, racism, and misogynist evil.

    The Democrats have been slow and cumbersome in response. They might be right, but they did not address the threat effectively. Maybe that’s unfair, it’s difficult to counter the flood of constant, bizarre, hateful, manipulative bile.

    But the process is so drawn out, so ludicrous, so unnecessary. It’s like a media circus, rather than a reasoned democratic process.

    So much horror has happened in the World in the meantime, in Ukraine and the middle east, because America is distracted by a ridiculous drawn out media fueled drama. Bad-faith actors are running amok in the absence of a confident American presence, hamstrung by this ludicrous election process.

    The World has, for a long time, extended a respect to the US as a moral and even military arbiter. That respect is under enormous threat. Another Trump administration will end it, without question. The dollar will not survive as the global reserve currency. Trump’s tariff policy will inevitably destroy both it’s budget and trade deficits. It’s a populist and clownish policy, which will inflict enormous costs on American families.

    Vote that racist demented idiot out for good! The free World will not survive another term of that imbecile.

  9. I’m guessing he’s “admitting “ that because it gets him out of other charges:  “we just hired these people as actors” is better than “we bought votes.”

  10. The paperwork after the fact doesn’t do anything about the statements being made – the thing that’s actually illegal.

  11. The fact that illegal shit like this gets no consequences for his class of elites is a failure of the DOJ. Kamala’s first act should be to fire that Garden Gnome motherfucker Garland

  12. Ok so the court decided he didn’t technically break the law on that charge.

    So what about the whole false advertising/intentionally misleading people thing he did here?

  13. If it wasn’t rigged, it’s illegal. It’s not even legal to “bribe” voters with water who need to stand in line for hours. Coincidentally, only in blue areas do ppl need to stand in line for hours. If red folk had to stand in line for hours, they’d lose 10+% of their voters too. 100% of ppl simply aren’t that dedicated.

    If it IS rigged, that’s illegal too. Jail, now.

  14. What a complete and total joke this guy turned out to be. It is interesting how everyone who enters Trump’s orbit seems to be quickly exposed as complete fools.

  15. “We didn’t break the law with raffle bribes! We broke the law with bribe bribes!”

    Am I doing this right?

  16. So essentially paid actors/pretenders and the whole thing is a charade/scam to fool the gullible. Shocking. /s
