Key Facts
Musk announced the $1 million daily awards at a rally for Trump in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and named the first winner onsite, John Dreher.
Voters can qualify for the giveaway by signing a petition in support of free speech and the right to bear arms run by Musk’s America PAC—which has spent millions backing Trump’s election bid, including by paying for door-to-door canvassing in swing states.
