The billionaire got away with it last time. Why not now?

Wisconsin voters will go to the polls next week to choose between candidates for the state’s Supreme Court. Elon Musk has spent $17 million so far to support the Republican-aligned candidate, according to the Associated Press. And the billionaire oligarch is really spreading the money around this weekend before Tuesday’s vote, offering up $1 million each to two people who attend his rally in Wisconsin on Sunday

Musk has always given off “I’ll pay you to be my friend” vibes but it’s positively coming off him in waves now.

Seriously, this couldn’t be more cringe if it was discovered his parents tied raw meat around his neck so neighborhood dogs would play with him.

When you make the main selling point that attracts immigration its economy, you get the sort of people who are easily bought off.
