The winner will be chosen from those who sign a petition by the tech billionaire's Trump-supporting campaign group.

        Every billionaire is an asshole.

        Somewhere around 10 million in value you hit a point where every standard luxury is affordable for the rest of your life… maybe I’ll excuse people who make 50 million - but the wealth these assholes have is from greedy hoarding, there are coworkers or employees that have been fucked over so that the billionaire could steal all that value.

        Maybe they did it abstractly through speculation (which absolutely comes at the expense of others) or maybe directly (like Zuckerberg fucking over other early employees)… even Taylor Swift is guilty of this - it’s insane that she charges anyone but the super wealthy any money for concerts at this point.

        Every single fucking billionaire is an asshole.

      It’s super illegal.

      He’s probably doing it to drive up interest and get people to register, then at the end he’ll be like “sowwy guys, my lawyer says I can’t :( Vote Trump to end this horrible tyranny!”

        Just like when he promised to donate to end world hunger to the world food bank and then backed out.

    Elon wants Trump to win, but he is making a very risky bet. If Kamala wins, Elon will probably not want to give any money and will get into trouble with the authorities.

      Elon doesn’t care who wins. He knows Trump only responds to bribes and displays of personal loyalty. If Trump wins, Elon wins.

      If Trump loses, Elon knows Democrats will still support electric vehicles, solar, and space exploration no matter how badly he acts. So he still wins.

        Wasn’t Tesla backsliding a few months ago because Democrats are kind of abandoning them? Living in California where every other car is a Tesla though, that was either short-lived or never true.

      Only those registering with his PAC are eligible, so no money goes to those filthy democrats anyways.
