Elon Musk Launches Petition with a $1 Million Prize
Elon Musk has stirred attention with his latest initiative, a political campaign group supporting free speech and gun rights. To back the effort, Musk is offering a $1 million daily prize for people who sign his petition. However, only registered voters from seven swing states in Southern California are eligible, which could influence the upcoming U.S. election.
Critics are raising concerns about the legality of Musk’s campaign. Under U.S. law, offering incentives for voter registration could lead to criminal charges, with potential penalties of up to five years in prison. Musk counters that signing the petition does not obligate voters to vote, only to express their support for the Constitution.
Musk’s actions follow other unusual campaign efforts, including Donald Trump’s recent stop at a McDonald’s and outreach to faith-based communities by Democrats. The political landscape remains charged as both parties race to win key swing states ahead of the election.
