Musk gives $1,000,000 away a day to swing state voters

Monday, October 21, 2024

Elon Musk said Saturday that he would randomly award $1 million a day to registered voters who sign a petition for his pro-Trump political action committee. The petition, posted on the America PAC website, said that to be eligible for payments, signees "must be registered voters of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin." Musk called up John Dreher saying he was one of the petition signers and handed him a giant check for $1,000,000.

Paying someone to vote is illegal.

#3 - That is definitely illegal.

'Musk's initiative appears to be a violation of federal election laws, specifically one that says a person who "pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."'

But is it illegal to enter someone into a "raffle" for signing a petition for a Super PAC? For paying someone $47 ($100 for PA) for referring a registered voter to sign the petition?

I'm tempted to sign the petition but my state is no longer a swing state (sad face).

This is crazy shht.

It'd be insane. They'd be going NUTS.

Someone needs to win this and donate it to the Harris campaign.
