Elon Musk, a tech tycoon and Republican megadonor, is willing to give someone up to $1 million every day. The only caveat is that until Election Day, the person must sign his pro-Trump America PAC petition and serve as its spokesperson.
At a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, October 19, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla began his daily million-dollar giveaways. “One of the difficulties we’re facing is figuring out how to spread the word about our petition. “Because the traditional media won’t cover it,” Musk stated. “How about it now? This news is going to become viral, in my opinion.
“I have a surprise for you because we really want as many people to sign this petition as possible,” he said. Additionally, those who have signed the petition will be randomly selected to receive a million dollars—every day until the election.
Musk immediately chose a random award winner to begin after the exuberant announcement. John Dreher, an audience member who described himself as a “big fan” of Musk, received the million-dollar cheque. He informed the recipient, “The only thing we ask for the million dollars is that you be a spokesperson for the petition.”
Concerning Elon Musk’s America PAC appeal
The petition claims that the First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I affirm my support for these amendments.
The software mogul is the only contributor to the pro-Trump petition, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, and has personally contributed at least $75 million (from July to September) to support the reelection of former President Donald Trump, according to a Fox Business report. By October 21, the Musk-founded PAC hopes to have one million voters in the crucial state, and the swing states of Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina sign a petition affirming the right to bear arms and freedom of expression.
A pro-Trump group backed by Musk is having trouble achieving its objectives
The Guardian and Reuters have revealed that the PAC’s door-knocking efforts aren’t always yielding favourable results in some key states, which contradicts the organisation’s initial mission statement. According to sources connected to the group’s activities who spoke to the outlets, America PAC’s canvassing software may have been fraudulently recording phoney door knocks. The fact that paid canvassers could miss their goals indicates that campaign staff members are more invested in the candidate’s success than externally hired professionals.
The recently disclosed figures could seriously hamper Trump’s chances of winning reelection. According to data stolen by America PAC and acquired by the Guardian, “the Campaign Sidekick canvassing software identified about 24% of the door-knocks in Arizona and 25% of the door-knocks in Nevada this week under “strange survey logs.”
