Isn't it a crime to pay people to register to vote?
Yes.
In any election in which a federal candidate is on the ballot, federal law prohibits any
individual or entity, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits, social welfare organizations, and unions,
from knowingly and willfully paying, offering to pay, or accepting payment either for
registering to vote or voting
52 U.S.C. § 10307

I couldn't find it in the section you gave, but I did find it in 18 USC 597

Same as telling people to vote 10 times like Elmo mother did https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2024/10/06/x-brands-maye-mus...
I see the apple didn't fall far from the tree, bloody hell.
This is paying people who are already registered to vote?

Others already pointed out that both are a crime.

But if they went and registered, they could get the money.
I'm not paying you to do X, but if you do X and then Y, I'll pay you.

Laws are not mechanical. "Technicalities" are rarer than you might think.
What is the crime?

They'll also pay you $30/hour to go out and get people to register and turn out to vote.

Where is the actual petition? I'm not going to sign it but I'd like to read it at least!
it's not a real petition. it just says "The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments."
This is an email and contact harvesting scheme.
Are those really worth $47?
Especially someone who is willing to sign the petition doesn't seem like they really need to be advertised to.

It's ok, he won't pay. Elon has a history of not paying his creditors.

It's probably not for advertising.
100% Elon will claim dems submitted tons of fake data
How did they come up with $47? It's an odd amount.
