    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.
