I'd rather they arrest him, but I'll still take it.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If this was done by a poor person (e.g. net worth of less than $500k) they would have.
We need to stop having different rules for the rich just because they can afford it.
It is absolutely mind blowing that he could even do this and then go on to pretend it's just fine. Wild times
If I lived there I'd take the money and vote against whatever this impotent chode wanted. Can't be that hard to fool this moron.
I imagine Musk would want "proof" of some sort before paying. If he ever planned on paying at all, that is...
I can't imagine he'd want anything that's not too hard to forge. Usually voting is done with #2 pencil and a blot. Though it looks like he's selecting long-time Republican fans that are vocal online, which isn't surprising. Nobody new who would fall for this YouTuber level scam is going to win the other million.
Oh absolutely
If its like last time he will give the money to friends family under thejguisejof a lottery and the money will come back to him.
Yup, that's my thought too. It's a YouTuber level scam. I hate that I think it'll be effective.
OMG look at this totally random winner!

He got sued in Pennsylvania for having a non legal lottery. His defense was that it wasnt a lottery. It was actually a scam and he had no intentions of giving the money to a random person. Therefor he wasnt paying the participants to register to vote nor was he conducting an illegal lottery.
Just more corruption, par for the course.
I SWEAR this exact thing already happened...like down to the spokesperson bullshit and everything.
Money so dirty that he can't give it away.
