During a campaign event for former President Donald Trump, tech billionaire Elon Musk disclosed his intention to donate $1 million daily to registered voters in key states. This announcement prompted concerns from election law specialists, as the giveaway may potentially breach regulations prohibiting incentivizing voter registration. The initiative aims to gather support for the First and Second Amendment through a petition signed by a substantial number of voters in battleground states. "We will be randomly awarding $1 million to individuals who have signed the petition, daily, leading up to the election," stated Musk during a campaign event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Tesla CEO was discussing a petition initiated by his political action committee advocating for free speech and gun rights. The newly launched website specifies that the program is limited to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Elon Musk, currently the wealthiest individual globally, has donated over $75 million to his pro-Trump super PAC and believes the sweepstakes will encourage registration among supporters of the former president. He has recently embarked on his campaign in Pennsylvania, hosting events in support of Trump, endorsing his petition, and propagating conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 election. "This is a singular request," Musk declared to the audience following the announcement of the $1 million prize. Encourage individuals to engage with their friends, family, acquaintances, and strangers to persuade them to vote in upcoming elections. It is essential to register and verify voter registration to ensure participation in the elections. The initial million-dollar recipient, a supporter of Trump, was announced on Saturday by Musk in Harrisburg. The second winner was named on Sunday in Pittsburgh, with a check presented during an event with prominent signs urging early voting.
