when votes are anonymous you can just not give a fuck about what they paid you to vote, you can take as many bribes as you want and vote for yourself regardless, thus people don’t really bother buying votes.

Musk literally bought peoples votes…there are plenty of people who have no morals and absolutely would vote how they’re paid.

we can’t really know that… musk paid people to vote, but we and he have no idea if people actually voted how he wanted
i’d say selection bias (people willing to engage) played more of a part than actually telling people how to vote

nobody can say that for sure… republicans still support him, people protest voted, kamala was unexciting… there are so many reasons that probably contributed
i’d guess his campaign probably got some people to vote when they otherwise wouldn’t have, but i’m not sure it would’ve changed anyone’s vote
