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.

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
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.
As if he's even going to pay out his lottery reward. This is like watching children play pretend... but it's actually affecting everyone.
I wonder if he's going to pull a Trump card and not actually pay anyone in the end
He definitely won't.
Why wouldn't he? It's about 4 millionths of his net worth. It's like me giving someone a tic tac every day.
Do you not know anything about him?
He constantly tries to not pay employees and bills he owes. He got Twitter kicked out of Brazil because he refused to pay something like a $250 fee.
Rich people don't get rich by being good upstanding citizens.
Except, he's already given the first million, unless that was fake.
I'll need proof about that.
You're taking a piss, right? John Dreher is an actor with IMDB credits.
He literally staged it, with an actor and everything. It was fake.
Let's not skim over a very important part of the article you linked to:
It is a federal crime to pay people with the intention of inducing or rewarding them to cast a vote or to get registered, an offense punishable by prison time.
I could be wrong but it doesn't look like the same guy to me.
Edit: Also, according to this site:
There are 394 people named John Dreher in the U.S., and 118 of them live in Pennsylvania.
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.
He won't pay out. I hope he gets run over by one of his shitty trucks.
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.
I'm not sure if those welds are from amateurs. More likely from professionals acting their wage.
Musk is a bacterial infection of the perineum.
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.
He must have been high on ketamine or one of the other drugs he does because this is never going to happen.
I'm sure he'll be able to pay the fine or post bail or pay an attorney or...
There's nothing you can do to him that he can't afford.
Except, maybe, if Switzerland gives him a speeding ticket. They punish based on the individual's income and wealth.
What ? All fines depend on the income slab of the person... Let Elmo try it run a Tesla with faulty software there
A pledge in lieu of money is nothing but a shit load of non-democratic ways to get someone's vote... This happening in such a blunt fashion in complete view of the general public merely makes Trump much more suspectable to many more improvised ways in his weird sly tactic to make millions without hesitation in case he wins... ElMo will in the most unapologetic way fulfill the cheques by mentioning that once Hyper loop is in full force the bucks will be available for check out
That's the Elmo Way
Unveil an idea with a grandeur. Sway the public. And then reason out the actual idea of the plan which generally is nothing but self centered moronic ways to obese his portfolio
