    Wow , really appreciate this answer.

    The whole thing to me is unsettling because of how gamified and crowd sourced it is. As if it’s some sort of gofundme page

      Oh it definitely skirts the line.

      https://apps.azsos.gov/apps/election/circulatorportal/

      Pursuant to Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 19-118; A.R.S. § 16-321; A.R.S. § 19-205.01), a circulator must register with the Secretary of State’s Office if the circulator:

      1. is not a resident of this state and will circulate candidate petitions, recall petitions, or statewide initiative or referendum petitions,
      2. is paid to circulate recall petitions, statewide initiative or referendum petitions (whether or not the circulator is a resident of this state).

      Thinking about it more, and looking more into what’s actually being done however… this doesn’t appear to an official petition of any kind as far as I can see. It’s basically a petition.org page, and just as useless. And they’re paying people for it. Free money to sign people up for unlimited bullshit emails and junk mail from the MAGA team forever.

      Also, it seems this tweet was deleted? I can’t find it on Elon’s page anymore, unless it’s just their bullshit algorithm putting other shit on top now instead of being obviously chronological.
