- Elon Musk says he is giving away $1 million each day to a voter who signs a petition.
- You have to be a registered voter to participate.
- It’s illegal to pay people to register to vote, and experts say this could cross the line.
Elon Musk’s latest gambit to help elect former President Donald Trump may be illegal, some election law experts say.
The billionaire businessman announced at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday that he would award $1 million every day through his “America PAC” to a swing state voter who signs the super PAC’s petition affirming support for freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
It’s just the latest turn in Musk’s growing involvement in the presidential race. The billionaire businessman has invested nearly $75 million into electing Trump and other Republicans , arguing that American democracy depends on the former president’s reelection.
