    By this logic it’s historically impossible to buy votes since you can’t go into the polling location with them. Buying a view is an agreement about what a person has agreed to vote for. Musk has made a very clear offer to give money for someone who agrees to support the first amendment and that a vote for Trump is supporting the the first amendment. If the person doesn’t vote for Trump, by Musk’s stated beliefs, they are not supporting the first amendment and therefore disqualified from receiving the money. He is attempting to buy votes.
