    Musk says he’ll award $1 million every day to Pennsylvania voters who sign his petition

    Elon Musk announced he will pay up to $1 million per day to Pennsylvania voters who sign his America PAC petition leading up to Election Day.

    The petition asks signers to support free speech and the right to bear arms.

    “One of the challenges we’re having is like, well, how do we get people to know about this petition? Because the legacy media is— won’t report on it,” Musk said at a Saturday event in support of President Trump in Pennsylvania. ”You know, not everyone’s on X. So, I figure, how do we get people to know about it? Well, this news, I think, is going to really fly.”

    After the announcement the tech giant, who publicly endorsed the former president’s bid for the White House after his July assassination attempt, immediately chose one of the audience members to be the first recipient of the prize.

    “The only thing we ask for the million dollars is that you be a spokesperson for the petition,” Musk told the awardee.

    Musk kick started campaign events for former President Trump in the Keystone State on Thursday, pursuing undecided voters on the crucial battleground’s turf.

    Lawmakers like Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) have admitted that the entrepreneur is able to appeal to a demographic that Democrats struggle to reach.

    “Most endorsements don’t count for much in this business, but Musk is … incredibly popular, and he has an appeal to a demographic that Democrats have struggled with,” Fetterman said earlier this week.

    Musk has served as a “megaphone” of the former president’s thoughts, tones and rhetoric on social platforms like X, which the tech billionaire owns. Since July, Musk has personally contributed at least $75 million to support Trump’s re-election bid through the PAC.

    Musk also recently pledged to give voters in battleground states outside of Pennsylvania $47 for signing the petition and another $47 for referrals.
