Can they target the electoral college since they’re the ones that overturned the popular vote in the first place???
I know this is a response to musk’s bullshit, but this makes it sound like trump won the popular vote in 2016. He did not.

So this is probably a plan to call out Elon musk’s stupid “pay to sign a petition” plan. Basically just buying votes. The more attention these schemes get, the more likely they will be made officially illegal.
Sort of a Satanic Temple maneuver. I like it.
From Apologize.lol
Cards Against Humanity is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters to (1) apologize for not voting last time, (2) walk us through a step-by-step plan of how they’d vote this time, and (3) post “Donald Trump is a human toilet” on social media. This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!
Highly recommend giving the whole thing a read. It’s pretty funny (and messed up)
I’m pretty sure they’re using the money from Elmo using a plot of their land they bought to stall the border wall
It’s just a shame we don’t have an option this election for a president against a border wall…
They said they were sharing the Elmo money with those who originally helped them buy that plot.
I will absolutely share this around after checking it out myself, but what is a good response for the inevitable “they’re bribing people to vote”?
They are, but they’re doing it to troll Elon offering $47 for referrals of swing voters willing to sign petitions supporting conservative ideals.
They’re paying for an apology for not voting in 2020, there’s no obligation to vote in 2024.
Damn I could have made 147$ this election if I was in a swing state lmao
Great way for me to learn Ohio is considered a lost cause I guess? Not sure if i disagree (or care), for that matter; I want out.
Every trump election we’re assumed for him. I had hope in 16, but and maybe this year, but I think it’ll take issue 1 to drive us there
Always has been.
Now that you mention it, anyone still using Twitter could just go right now and tweet Donald Trump is a human toilet for free. And they could right now. Go do it.
The website
Lmao
Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?
Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they’ll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.
If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.
Hilarious. Elon sucks.
ahahaha!!
Bad news possibly: are the MAGA schemers gonna send people to the Cards Against Humanity site and then ask for a $50 donation to even things out?
Cards against humanity is using acquired voter data to determine how much you’ll get. It’s highest $100 for “left leaning in swing state”, someone determined to be right leaning will probably get a <$47 reward, keeping it net positive.
That was actually addressed it seems! (In the FAQs at the bottom of the site)
Beautiful.
The whole FAQ is pretty amazing. My favorites:
How do you know who didn’t vote?
We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up.
The data you have on me is wrong! I didn’t vote in 2020 and it says I did, or it says I’m red-leaning when I’m definitely blue, or whatever. I demand you fix this.
Consider the teachings of Buddhism: “The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don’t wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.”
Now, calm your mind and meditate on the knowledge that Cards Against Humanity does not have time for this shit
I didn’t vote in 2020 and it says I did, or it says I’m red-leaning when I’m definitely blue, or whatever.
Realistically they can’t know who you voted for in the past. That you voted is public record, what ballots were voted is public record, but not a connection between voter and ballot. So how you lean is basically a guess based on information they could have (given what it says about me I’m guessing that lack of party affiliation and being in an extremely red state (I used to vote a mixed ticket, but solid blue since 2018 on the grounds that anyone affiliating themselves with the same party that could nominate Trump doesn’t deserve my vote) are the main factors that drove the assumptions about my leanings that it provided.
All I did was put in my current zip code (different than 2020’s), phone, first, and last name, and it pulled up my full name and age and current city and political leaning (very blue).
Wild that they can just buy this data.
Are there any more funny jokes after that button? I only get
Hi, non-American person.
Unfortunately, only US citizens (and permanent residents) are eligible to participate in this whole thing. Sorry Canucks and weird British perverts.
(Which is still funny)
And how much did they offer you?
I didn’t know lol was a valid ICANN Top Level Domain
lol
You sound like an ICANT, with that thinking!
Now that’s how you build a proper mobile website!
Also
I used to love your card games before you got all political.
Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid.
LMFAO, I should steal that and use it against those transphobic turds on Xitter complaining about Godot
CAH never really drew me in. I got it was funny madlibs, but I just didn’t care. Now that they got all political, I may get some for my shelf, they deserve it.
They can’t find my info after I put in my last 3 addresses 😭
Then double check that you are registered to vote!!!
Since it’s targeting people who don’t give a fuck, is it called “cash for fucks?”
Bucks 4 Fucks
Boom. Bought.
I’m sorry but I won’t tweet even for $100.
…would they still pay me if I posted on Mastodon instead?
(Well, obviously they wouldn’t pay me – I did my duty as a citizen and voted in 2020 – but…)
Nothing in there even mentioned twitter. It said: a public apology
That’s it
“…and tweet ‘Donald Trump is a human toilet’.”
Touché
…is that legal? That feels like paying people for votes, and I’m like…80% sure that’s illegal?
No where does it say you only get the money if you vote.
Also, it’s a response to Musk who did the same thing but more hateful.
I don’t even understand his petition. It’s hardly asking for any change. Just saying if you support the first and second amendment. I’m not seeing the point… Am I missing the subtext?
It’s a response to Elon paying people $47 to get signatures on a petition from voters in swing states. It’s parody/satire but also serious to a degree
Data collection I assume.
It is! Isn’t that fucked up?
They’re paying people to apologize for not voting in 2020, which does not include them voting in the next election.
Nowhere do they actually require anyone to vote or to vote a specific way
Isn’t that like buying votes?
deleted by creator
Well, they are specifically doing a call to action to vote, part of their “offer” is that you make a plan to vote. But they aren’t saying you have to vote for a specific party.
But they aren’t requiring people to follow through on the plan.
Merely paying you to vote at all is illegal. But they’re not doing that - they’re paying you to make a plan to vote, to post a tweet and to make a public apology. Nothing says you have to go through with the plan to vote, merely that you make one - and that distinction is the legal line they are walking.
They are specifically paying for a plan to vote.
“America’s bluest non voters” and “tweet Donald trump is…”. Looks like they are only paying if you agree with their politics. That is buying votes. Offering it to all non voters is one thing but the other requirements make it shady. Just as bad as Elon Musk “sign a petition”. neither should be permitted.
blue also means sad…LOOPHOLE! (You know…the whole point…)
That is buying votes.
No, it’s not. Specifically because they aren’t actually requiring you to vote - they are paying you to make a public apology, post a tweet, and come up with a plan to vote but not based on whether or not you actually go through with that plan or vote at all. That distinction is the specific legal line they are walking.
They know
Everyone is posting about getting paid for their apology. I did my part by getting a pack, and I want to post, too. What should I post?
You should post:
How is this not illegal??? Cards Against Humanity is PAYING people who didn’t vote in 2020 to apologize, make a voting plan, and post #DonaldTrumpIsAHumanToilet—up to $100 for blue-leaning people in swing states. I helped by getting a 2024 Election Pack: www.Apologize.lol
You’ve got a point, if Elon did this for the right people would be screaming corruption, paying people only if they agree to vote the way you want them to is shady as fuck regardless of which side is doing it
I’m probably just joining you in getting dogpiled here but oh well
He posted it on X under his account…it might as well said “maga only”.
I can’t actually find the tweet you’re talking about but I’m assuming he’s deleted it or something
From what people are saying it sounds like he was just paying non voters to vote at all, not restricting it to only people who shared his political beliefs
I’d applaud it if that was what CAH were doing but they’re specifically whitelisting people they agree with to be able to get the money, IE paying people to agree with them
They are paying “people that didn’t vote in 2020”. It is ultimately a foil of Musks rightwing, but not reaaalllyy wiiink. Just theirs it more aimed towards blue voters, but only because the right struggles to insult their godking…but ultimately it is just words and not telling them to VOTE BLUE. Just like Musk is trying to get his predominantly red crowed to register and get paid, but not TELLING them to vote red
It is completely asinine and a symptom of our trash system.
Cah literally say in their FAQ that this is only offered to “the bluest voters” and imply (whether it’s true or not I don’t know) that they have information about who’s voted what and when to verify that
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not, because Elon actually is doing that.
In both these cases, the payment technically isn’t directly for voting for a specific candidate. The payment is for an unrelated action that only someone voting for your candidate would agree with. Either way, still smells bad.
I’m not being sarcastic, and I don’t follow American politics that closely so I didn’t know about this. I also don’t see why people think the right response to that is to just do the same thing though
They’re doing it specifically to point out how bullshit it is. Read the FAQ: https://apologize.lol
That’s fair enough if it’s to raise awareness about the fact this is legal, doesn’t seem like that’s the main focus though
Because being this blunt about it will likely get it made illegal.
The payment is for an unrelated action that only someone voting for your candidate would agree with.
Supporting free speech and gun rights (literally all the petition says) is something only a Trump voter would agree with?
You think Musk supports free speech in any way, form or shape?
Didn’t say that.
But the petition is being sold here as “pledging to vote for Trump”. which it plainly isn’t. It’s also been sold in this Lemmy thread as paying voters to sign a petition that only Trump voters would ever agree to sign.
The petition that allegedly only Trump voters would ever agree to sign, only states that you support free speech and gun rights. Whether or not I think Musk actually genuinely supports those things (I don’t) is irrelevant, that’s what the actual petition says.
But… he is doing it?
I’m not following, I don’t live in the US. If he’s doing it too that also sucks but I don’t think stooping to that level is the way to solve that problem
It’s been pointed out that he is in fact doing it, several times actually. I’m actually pretty sure this is directly a result of the Muskrat doing it.
Then read through the website linked and understand what is going on here if you’re not following.
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
That’s the point. Draw attention to the illegal shit Musk is doing so that maybe the one remaining judge in the US who wants to uphold the Constitution might do something about it.
No more so that Elon
Funny but it has to be illegal right?
paying for apology, making a plan of voting, and a tweet?
They have a pretty fun FAQ on the campaign site explaining the legality of it.
Ok that was both funny and depressing in equal measures.
it is not and this is where we are at.

Its also coming after elon started tweeting that he would pay people $47 for registering swing state voters in support of trump.
And apparently if you register in his site with CAH as the referer, they’ll be obligated to pay CAH.
super pac gaming baby. Who needs legality when the supreme court just fucking explicitly allows it.
2020 was the first and last election I’ll participate in. Fuck America and fuck you(including tankies).
Her’s how you might also be able to help:
