The space nazi is paying $47 per signature to sign a petition that supports the first and second amendments.

Per Guardian live feed by Rachel Leingang:

I spoke to a man gathering signatures for America PAC, Elon Musk’s outfit that’s offering people $47 per person they get to sign a petition that supports the first and second amendments.

Those signers then can win a $1m prize.

The man, who said his name is Ryan Johnson, said he’s been gathering signatures for various candidates and causes across the country for eight years, one of many traveling circulators who pop from state to state depending on who’s paying.

He said the America PAC petition is the “highest paying petition ever,” with a typical rate for signatures for a ballot measure or candidates being a few dollars per signature.

1. You get paid for signatures? On the spot? I didn't know that was a thing. Learn something new every day.

2. The First and Second Amendments are not

on the ballot anywhere. Nor are they likely to be so, regardless of any petition. Nor would a petition with paid-for signatures qualify to put a real proposition on a ballot. So it’s just a RWNJ publicity stunt.

3. when your the richest person in the world you can waste money on stunts and its just that

a stunt but glad someone is draining his money.

4. Paid to collect signatures, the signers aren't getting paid.

That would be another crime to add to Musk's pending legal problems.
