Elon got a Wisconsin Civics lesson yesterday. While throwing tons of money into the state Supreme Court Race. He announced he was going to give away two one million dollar checks to two people who would attend his get out the vote rally today. but the state attorney general intervened and told him it is against Wisconsin law to give anyone something of value to either vote or refrain from voting in Wisconsin.
Actually, what the attorney general did was file a lawsuit against Musk, seeking an injunction from the court. Musk then promptly redefined who would be eligible to win the money, changing it from people who voted to people who signed a petition against “activist” judges.
I think I essentially said that in my last response @Nick Tamen . I also put up a link to the whole story.
Well actually, in that last post, you said “I hope the AG takes [Musk’s] ass to court.” The headline of the article to which you linked clearly stated the AG had already done that.
In any event, anyone got any predictions about the Wisconsin vote on April 1st? I vaguely recall reading that it looks good for Crawford, the prefered candidate of Democrats, but I really don't know.
To me, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court vote as a referendum on Musk. He poured 22.6 million into the race, and it was used against him. Of course, he denied the one million dollar checks were to influence the vote, but there is one video that seems to say differently. See here.. That's what I would call "a smoking gun." I think the state A.G. should take a look at the issue again.
Rumor has it Muskrat may be leaving the Trump partnership in government shortly. By law, he would have to leave after 130 days anyway.
I'm hesitant to believe anything based on "three Trump insiders who were granted anonymity to describe the evolving relationship". This kind of anonymous sourcing has gotten way out of hand.

Granted. That is why I stated it was a rumor.
We know Trump hates losers. The bet is Musk's failure to turn the Wisconsin court election could give the small hands guy reason enough to fire Muskrat. Story here.
The deal of it is when major news outlets run a story, they usually try to verify their information through secondary sources. But, then, sometimes in a rush to get information out there, they cut corners and do make mistakes. If they are wrong, they will print retractions. In this case, multiple outlets are saying the same thing. Still, it needs to be taken with some salt until it happens.

"For want of a nail..." vibes.
Meanwhile, Tesla sales continue to slump.
And see Chesterton's poem on Smith and the Welsh Disestsblishment Bill.
Basically, he pumped money into an election in which the money itself became an issue working against his side. The ultimate own-goal.
As if anything he's done so far has been lawful.
History has many examples of that sort of relationship ending in tears...
We're back to the optimist and the pessimist:
The pessimist says "things are terrible, they can't possibly get any worse". The optimist says "oh yes they can!"
