Elon Musk's offer to Pennsylvania voters: $1 million every day to those who sign this petition

Send Push
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that he will award $1 million to randomly selected registered voters in Pennsylvania who sign America PAC’s petition. The petition, which advocates for the protection of the First and Second Amendments, aims to gather one million signatures from voters in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.

During a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Musk said, “We are going to be awarding £1 million to randomly selected people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election.” He expressed frustration that mainstream media has largely ignored his campaign, saying, “How do we get people to know about this petition? This news is going to really fly.”

During the announcement, Musk also shared the name of the first recipient, John Breyer, who expressed his astonishment, saying, “Thanks, Elon. This is great. I really ecstatic.” Musk clarified that the only requirement for receiving the funds is to act as a spokesperson for the petition.



This initiative builds on Musk’s earlier offer of $47 for each registered voter referred to the petition. Launched by Musk's Elon's America PAC, the goal is to gather one million signatures from voters in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. “Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms,” he added.

Musk, a "mega donor" for Trump, having donated over $75 million to the former presidents campaign has ramped up his endorsement, holding town halls across Pennsylvania. He had earlier attended rallies alongside Trump, and said that, “This will be the last election if Trump doesn’t win”.

While federal law prohibits payment for registering to vote, Musk's strategy remains within legal bounds as it pertains to petition signing.

With elections less than 3 weeks out, both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are mobilising their supporters in key battleground states. Harris, joined by pop stars like Lizzo, has been painting Trump as “exhausted” and out of touch, while Trump counters by t his talking about his connections with working-class voters.
