    Having read up on the article about musk doing this, he’s not restricting it to people who are going to vote for a specific party which is the thing I take issue with.

    Nothing wrong with paying people to vote in general, paying people only if they are going to vote the way you want them to sucks

      It’s literally illegal.

        Note the “in general” part (paying them to vote in the way they want to)

          Note that it’s still illegal to pay someone to vote, full stop. Does not matter if you’re not telling them specifically who to vote for.
