and not to register to vote so hence a gray area but regardless he is BUYING our election.

That, among other things, appears to be illegal. It's not just signatures for the petition.

Let a judge make the simple request that this petitition and million dollar 'raffle' wait until AFTER the election! If it's NOT about buying votes, then Musk should have no problem waiting a few weeks, wouldn't you think?
