    This is to circumvent election laws. They employ these people as spokespeople and pay them a million dollars for giving a single appearance. Nothing prevents them from getting up there and saying “fuck Trump and Elon is a slaver” at all.

    I mean fuck Musk and fuck Trump for this, but probably not because these folks who “win” are frauds

      Actually the terms of the contract to pay them for the appearance likely DOES have specific clauses about what they are and are not allowed to say in their capacity as a spokesperson.

      Afterwards? That gets into NDA territories where law is less important than lawyers.
