Summary

Two Pennsylvania voters, Austin Gwiazdowski and Jeanne Fermier, received $100 checks from Elon Musk’s pro-Trump “America PAC” despite not signing the PAC’s petition, which was required to qualify for payments.

The petition aimed to gather support for the First and Second Amendments and facilitate pro-Trump outreach.

Both voters expressed confusion and refused to cash the checks.

The PAC, funded by Musk, mailed 187,000 checks as part of efforts to boost Trump’s Pennsylvania support, while Musk’s political influence continues to rise.

    What sucks: for the last 4 fucking years, we’ve had a constant stream of bullshit about “cheating and fraud” from Fuckface 45 and his cronies. It’s now normalized to call into question election integrity, so even if they actually fucked with the election, it’s highly unlikely anyone could figure out anything.

    Thanks, exhaustion.

        I guess. But he “won” in 2016 and didn’t removed about election fraud or cheating. Strange, that.

      pollute the waters so much you can’t find anything. pretty much how it goes.

      notice how all the whining about cheating and fraud all just stopped once the cheater ‘won’.
