Attorney General Josh Kaul filed the lawsuit in county circuit court to stop Musk from making the payments, which he said he would make Sunday in Wisconsin. Musk initially said in a post on his social media platform, X, that he planned to “personally hand over” $2 million to a pair of voters who have already cast their ballots in the race.
Musk later posted a clarification, saying the money will go to people who will be “spokesmen” for an online petition against “activist” judges. After first saying the event would only be open to people who had voted in the Supreme Court race, he said attendance would be limited to those who have signed the petition.
Yup, that’s my thought too. It’s a YouTuber level scam. I hate that I think it’ll be effective.
OMG look at this totally random winner!

He got sued in Pennsylvania for having a non legal lottery. His defense was that it wasnt a lottery. It was actually a scam and he had no intentions of giving the money to a random person. Therefor he wasnt paying the participants to register to vote nor was he conducting an illegal lottery.
Just more corruption, par for the course.
