Elon Musk Offers $100 to Mobilize Swing State Voters in Support of Trump

In a bold move to support Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, Elon Musk has announced an offer of $100 to registered voters in swing states who sign a petition supporting free speech and the right to bear arms. This initiative, spearheaded by Musk's America PAC, aims to gather one million signatures from voters in key battleground states.

Musk's offer marks a substantial increase from an earlier promise of $47 per signature. The petition, which focuses on the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, is part of a broader effort to mobilize voters in states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. These states are crucial in determining the outcome of the upcoming election.

"If you're a registered Pennsylvania voter, you and whoever referred you will now get $100 for signing our petition in support of free speech and the right to bear arms. Earn money for supporting something you already believe in! Offer valid until midnight on Monday," Musk tweeted.

The initiative has sparked controversy, with critics warning that pay-per-signature compensation could lead to fraud. However, Musk has assured that checks will only be mailed to addresses listed in state voter rolls to curb potential abuse.
America PAC, based in Texas, operates in a state without specific regulations on pay-per-signature compensation. The legality of such practices varies by state, with some states permitting it while others prohibit it.
