While addressing Trump supporters in the state capital of Harrisburg, Pa., on Saturday, Elon Musk announced that he will be donating $1 million to one “random” voter each day who signs his 2024 Election petition. The petition, available on the homepage of Musk’s America PAC, outlines several pro-Trump policy positions and encourages swing state voters to register. It also provides links for volunteers to get involved, along with deadlines for voter registration and early voting.
“The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments,” the petition reads. “Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. This program is exclusively open to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and North Carolina.
Musk explained his reasoning behind launching the petition while speaking with Pennsylvania voters on Saturday. “So I have a surprise for you. Which is that we’re going to be awarding a million dollars to randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election,” he announced, drawing extended cheers from the crowd.
“So, you know, one of the issues we’re having is, how do we get people to know about this petition?” Musk explained. “Because the legacy media won’t report on it. You know, not everyone is on X. So, I figured, how do we get people to know about it? Well, this news I think is gonna really fly.” Moments later, Musk introduced the first recipient of the $1 million donation on stage. Pennsylvania resident John Dreher was called up and presented with a check for $1,000,000. “By the way, John had no idea,” Musk told the crowd, adding that the only additional requirement is for Dreher to function as a spokesman for the petition.
Musk announced that the second recipient will be revealed in Pittsburgh this Sunday, while another Pennsylvania resident will receive a check on Monday. Additional swing state voters will be eligible for the promotion every day leading up to Election Day, as explained on America PAC’s website.
