In early October, some signatories received hand deliveries of $47 in cash, posing for photo-ops to tout the deal. Most, though, are expecting checks in the mail, and some have grown impatient. One issue, to judge by replies to Musk’s posts on X (formerly Twitter), is that voters have misread the terms of the America PAC offer, and think that just signing the petition will earn them money. “WHERE’S MY $47? I SIGNED ALREADY,” one Donald Trump supporter replied to Musk on Sunday. “I signed up and didn’t get $47,” another X user attempted to inform Musk earlier this month, appending a skull emoji to his message. And even those who apparently understood the referral system have complained of not receiving payments. “I signed up three people but didn’t get the $47,” another person replied to Musk this week, adding, “still glad I did it but wondering if that was a scam.”

    Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: it’s not “slander” if it’s true.

        The education system most likely didn’t fail Trump voters as much as these are the stupid a**holes in your school who thought they knew better than everyone else and they didn’t need to internalize anything. The school systems did fail US by letting them graduate though.

      Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: In print, it’s libel.
