      Musk isn’t giving everyone a million dollars. He’s giving people lottery tickets, and they might be worth a million dollars but are far more likely to be worthless.

      You can buy such lottery tickets yourself, and they cost about the same as a cup of coffee.

        Ohh, so any registered voter, that supports any candidate and policies can get this lotto ticket, exactly like your hypothetical coffee shop that just looks for “I voted” stickers?

        Youre saying this lottery is fully non partisan and is open to all voters equally?

          I’m not the person you were talking too but the answer to your question is no and that’s actually a GOOD thing because in order to get the “lottery ticket” you don’t have to vote. All you have to do is be a registered voter and sign the petition, that’s it and that’s all.

          Elon himself “You can be from any or no political party and you don’t even have to vote in order to sign the petition.”

          The scheme is still scummy and looks bad, I won’t argue that.
