    So let’s brainstorm how we can exploit that to get his money and/or break the the process.

        Cards against Humanity is using a referral code to force elon to pay into their new dem super pac! it only applies in certain states, though.

        from https://www.apologize.lol

        Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

        Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they’ll be legally obligated to pay us $47.

        But what other consequences might there be? I would do that (I’m in a swing state), but I worry the people I name would end up spammed to within an inch of their lives or harassed or something. (And on top of that, I wouldn’t put it past Musk to find some excuse to renege on the deal.)

          I tend to agree, but he never did find a way out of buying Twitter, so history says he’s not so good at that.

          Why are you worried if this happens to a Trump supporter? They’d happily do it (or worse) to you.

            Because we weren’t talking about signing up actual Trump supporters; we were talking about gaming the system by signing up fake ones.
