    The Harris campaign should be all over this.

    “Donald Trump is in trouble, that’s why he’s trying to buy votes in PA. And he’s too broke to do it himself, he needs a sugar daddy to pay the bill for him. Sad!”

    So now he’s just trying to buy his way into a government position of some sort out in the open. I expect this to become more common. We need stronger safeguards against this.

    I just assume at this point that Trump has promised him if he gets elected he’ll get to call himself a founding father and get to sign all the remaining copies of the Declaration of Independence

    I’d sign his inane and meaningless petition for $1 million. It’s not even really a petition. It just says “The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” Yeah dude, I know. I can read. Unfortunately I don’t live in a battleground state. Fortunately I live in a blue state. Unfortunately I now live close enough to the border that I get political ads for a state I don’t even fucking live in.

    Any petition you have to pay people to sign isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. There’s no reason to think the people signing actually care about it when they could just want the money.

    What even is the petition? Surprisingly, I could find no link the article. The closest description in the article is a quote from Musk saying “By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” Which sounds fine at face value. Though, the government should be uphding all Amendments so it’s weird in comparison.

      I hope he gets Tetanus from the surface rust in the poorly constructed panel gaps or shitty amateur welds.

        Something I learned later in life is that rust has nothing to do with tetanus. Tetanus occurs naturally in soil, so if you have your foot penetrated by an old nail on the ground you should make sure you’re up to date on tetanus shot. The nail would likely be rusty, which is where the rust = tetanus myth comes from.
