In early October, some signatories received hand deliveries of $47 in cash, posing for photo-ops to tout the deal. Most, though, are expecting checks in the mail, and some have grown impatient. One issue, to judge by replies to Musk’s posts on X (formerly Twitter), is that voters have misread the terms of the America PAC offer, and think that just signing the petition will earn them money. “WHERE’S MY $47? I SIGNED ALREADY,” one Donald Trump supporter replied to Musk on Sunday. “I signed up and didn’t get $47,” another X user attempted to inform Musk earlier this month, appending a skull emoji to his message. And even those who apparently understood the referral system have complained of not receiving payments. “I signed up three people but didn’t get the $47,” another person replied to Musk this week, adding, “still glad I did it but wondering if that was a scam.”
This guy is a national security risk. Plus, he skips around like a dipshit.

Elon innovating corporate finance by scrapping net30 payment terms and switching to net730
I’m still waiting on my 600 bucks from Biden.
It’s way more than that.
Sadly, once you’ve dropped $27B on genocide, there’s just not a lot left to go around.
This is why lemmy world users just suck

Wait…context?
I’m absolutely shocked that the guy who skipped out on paying his employees’ severance pay, the rent for his facilities and office spaces, and various vendors and other companies is also not paying out the bribe money he offered people… Shocked I tell you… Who could have possibly forseen this?
Hopefully he never pays, and those folks get jaded and stay home instead of voting for trump.
They’ll be mad at Elon, not Trump. But one can hope.
Progress is still progress.
Same cloth
From the article
A Trump voter in Pennsylvania tells Rolling Stone that he had his girlfriend sign the petition and list him as a referrer. “If it were anyone other than Elon Musk doing this I wouldn’t trust it,” he says. But he is frustrated at receiving no confirmation message or further communication from the Super PAC since then. “Part of me thinks it’s B.S. just to rally up votes,” he admits, in which case he plans to “have a field day slandering [Musk], and Trump might just lose my vote.”
Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: it’s not “slander” if it’s true.
He’s probably so used to Trump calling facts slander
The education system most likely didn’t fail Trump voters as much as these are the stupid a**holes in your school who thought they knew better than everyone else and they didn’t need to internalize anything. The school systems did fail US by letting them graduate though.
Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: In print, it’s libel.
Wondering if this is some kind of loophole - by a technicality, he’s not guilty of vote buying if he doesn’t actually pay up?
The CyberCuck didn’t become a billionaire by handing out money, you rubes. He will never pay up.
I am just shocked. SHOCKED! Well. Not that shocked.
The people holding the giant cardboard million dollar checks aren’t getting paid either. Once the election is over the PAC will be dissolved and Musk will fuck off back to Texas and get a friendly judge to squash the inevitable lawsuits.
Yeah, unfortunately there’s almost no chance that he sees any real consequences over this. A different justice system for him vs the rest of us.
But all those million dollar winners might want to quietly fuck off too. After they also broke the law and can be prosecuted.
And he’ll do the same in his next bit lol if he doesn’t actually pay, no laws broken
wtf the lying grifter con artist man didn’t pay me?!
elon wouldn’t scam me!
It’s just an homage to Trump, who is famous for not paying bills!
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” Mark Twain
You know… I hope this backfires and pisses off enough idiots they huff and puff away from actually voting.
