Democrats have called for an investigation into Elon Musk after the tech heavyweight said he will be giving away $1million every day to anybody who signs his new petition supporting the first and second amendments.
Questions have been raised over the Tesla CEO and MAGA mega-donor’s new initiative, which was slated as being corrupt and unethical.
Musk launched the incentive at a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, town hall on Saturday night as the crowd cheered at the opportunity to become millionaires.
‘We are going to be awarding $1million randomly to people who have signed the petition everyday from now until the election,’ Musk said in front of an American flag backdrop.
‘If Elon Musk giving away million-dollar checks for votes doesn’t get the attention of the DOJ and FEC, I f****** give up,’ Jim Stewartson, a podcast host and political writer, wrote on X.
Another pro-Harris account wrote: ‘The ultimate “Billionaire Buying Election“. It oughta be illegal, right? Hello Department of Justice?’
He gave $75 million to the group in just three months.
The X CEO vowed on Thursday to give $100 to each Pennsylvania registered voter who signed. Pennsylvania voters can also earn $100 per voter they refer to the petition.
Musk offered a financial motive to other swing states as well. Signers in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina can earn $47 for each registered voter they refer to the document.
Votes from the seven battleground states can determine the November 5 election’s outcome.
So far, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has surged ahead of Trump in early vote ballots.
