It legally can’t be random, because then it would be an illegal lottery. So yes, the entire scheme is a con.

He’s drunk with power, since he had an outsize effect on the U.S. election and current administration.

Is it still a crime if voters think they could get a million dollars for their vote?
And it would probably still be overpriced.

It’s a fucking sovereign country with an actually independent judiciary. Stay the fuck out of it!
Also, good luck with your influence campaign. The French famously love Americans and foreign meddling in their politics. Especially if it’s done monolingually in English

It’s even more weird than that… the guy who was hit was an pro-Tesla counterprotester.
“Reports indicate the victim had been driving a truck with pro-Trump flags and had just parked and exited his vehicle when Talbot struck him with his car,” police said in a news release. “The victim drove himself to a local hospital, where he was treated and released [with] non-life-threatening injuries.”

Wasn’t that supposed to be for people who signed up to be voters for the first time? Which, I’m willing to bet, the Chairman of a Republican political group probably isn’t.
Why fraud little when you can fraud BIG?

That’s sure to make those junkmobiles all the more in demand. 
(I do know that’s not the point.)

…Tesla Shield movement have vowed, on posts on X and Facebook, to continue their efforts to defend Musk and his company.
Are they buying Elno’s cars? Because if they aren’t, their “defense” is pretty meaningless.

Oh gods, it’s hilarious, isn’t it? I mean, obviously the Proud Boys (etc.) aren’t going to actually buy Teslas, and by gathering to support Musk/Tesla, they’re pretty effectively alienating people against the brand, by reinforcing the negative associations. (And who wants to brave a bunch of armed MAGAts to get into the dealership, even.) In fact, I’d say if you wanted to lower Tesla sales, this would be exactly how you’d do it…

Cavanaugh goes on to estimate that the building has a “fair market value” of $500 million.
In another letter included in the lawsuit’s docket dated March 29, Project 2025 architect and Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought writes to Ehikian to approve his request “to set the amount of reimbursement at no cost for the transfer of the United States Institute of Peace’s (USIP) headquarters building.”
To state this plainly: DOGE forced out the directors and staff of a nonexecutive agency, installed one of its own GSA staffers as president, and that person is now attempting to hand the institute’s $500 million headquarters over to the agency he came from, at zero cost.
