PENNYSYLVANIA, USA: Billionaire Elon Musk has announced an ambitious plan to donate $1 million each day until the November election to individuals who sign his online petition supporting the U.S. Constitution.
His commitment was demonstrated during a recent rally in Pennsylvania, where he awarded a $1 million check to attendee John Dreher, who was taken by surprise. Musk’s actions underscore his growing influence in the upcoming presidential race, particularly in support of Republican candidate Donald Trump against Democratic rival Kamala Harris.
Musk, founder of America PAC—a political action committee backing Trump’s campaign—aims to mobilize and register voters in key battleground states. However, there are indications that the PAC is struggling to meet its objectives. At the Harrisburg event, Musk painted a dire picture of the election, claiming that if Harris wins, it could signify the end of the U.S. as we know it. He made controversial statements regarding Trump’s safety, claiming that the attempts on Trump’s life reflect his ability to challenge the status quo in ways Harris cannot.
The petition Musk is promoting emphasizes the importance of the First and Second Amendments, encouraging supporters to pledge their allegiance to these constitutional rights. By signing, attendees provide their contact information, enabling America PAC to target them for voter mobilization efforts.
Musk’s financial backing of America PAC, which reportedly totals at least $75 million, has made the organization a significant player in Trump’s campaign strategy. As the richest person in the world, Musk’s support is seen as crucial for Trump’s aspirations to regain the presidency. The former president has also suggested that if elected, he would appoint Musk to head a government efficiency commission, further solidifying their alliance.
As the election approaches, Musk’s involvement is likely to generate significant attention, shaping voter sentiment in a highly contested political landscape. His calls to action, combined with substantial financial contributions, may influence the outcomes in crucial swing states and bolster Trump’s efforts to rally supporters.
