Musk announced Saturday that every day until Election Day, he would give $1 million to a randomly selected voter who signs a petition circulated by his super PAC.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Sunday that tech mogul Elon Musk’s plan to give money to registered voters in Pennsylvania is “deeply concerning” and “it’s something that law enforcement could take a look at.”

Shapiro’s comments on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” come one day after Musk announced in Pennsylvania that every day until Election Day, he would give $1 million to a random registered voter who signs a petition circulated by his super PAC “in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms.”

The super PAC has made signing the petition a prerequisite for attending rallies headlined by Musk, and on Saturday he surprised one rally attendee by giving away the first $1 million check onstage.

    Seems like they are operating in now or never mode. Amy crime committed won’t matter if trump wins. Looks like we didn’t place any meaningful deterrent for things we learned in 2016 and 2020.

    Just donated an extra $500 to the Harris campaign.

    I know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the $75 mil Musk is pumping into Trumps campaign but given I’m nowhere near a swing state I don’t know if there’s much else I can do to combat this.

    2 months from now: so-and-so government official says we need to investigate the people investigating Musk. He also put out a crowdsource call to find a bank that could cash a billion-dollar check.

    Good for Josh Shapiro, because Elon Musk needs to be investigated and possibly jailed with all his money given to charity.
