Buying

Elon Musk is buying votes. When in doubt about the result of an election such as the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election, use money to bribe voters to enhance the chances for the outcome you desire. Once again, money rears its often ugly head.

I do understand why people are taking Musk up on his offer. It is a million dollars and a chance for real financial security for the recipient. It’s just not for me though. And for Musk, it literally is small pocket change.

Believe it or not, my vote could not be purchased for any amount of money. In addition to the obvious moral ramifications, money is not everything. I would never sell my soul for any amount of money. Eternity is the big picture here. I think in those terms. Am I naive? Maybe. But I am also hopeful.
