Was it election interference? Is Get Out the Vote also election interference or any other program that seeks to get voters registered?

Seems law professors were split and a judge ruled that it was not but I only took a surface level look.

A candidate paying people to vote is interference lol. Elon was directly working with the Trump Campaign. Whether Conservative like it or not the richest man in the world bought the election and Trump is likely to be his puppet. Trumps campaign spent $350m and Elon literally ran a $200m initiative to get him elected. If it wasnt for Elon Trump does not win.

Where is my understanding breaking down?  People were in a drawing for signing a petition and a prerequisite to win was that they were registered to vote not that they voted one way or another or even voted at all.  It was just that they were registered.  Registered to vote does not equal vote Trump. So where are people being paid to vote?

The biggest part of the sticky on the wicket was the money tied to being or getting registered.

As for Trump being beholden to Musk... maybe.  The Donald is such an ego maniac man child I don't know how much loyalty he has to anyone outside his family.  Trump being a Musk puppet is kind of a moot point anyway when most politicians are beholden to people other than the electorate anyway. At least in this instance we would know who is trying to pull his strings.
