Elon Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC is offering people $47 if they successfully get one registered swing-state voter to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution. “Easy money,” Musk said in a post about the initiative. The payout offer appears to be a way to financially encourage voter registration of individuals who might prefer Republican candidate Donald Trump in swing states.
” Hasen said he doesn’t think that Musk has broken any campaign finance laws and is within his free speech rights to steer X in the direction of his political preferences, as long as he discloses his connections with Trump. “The law prohibits paying people to vote, to register to vote, to vote in a particular way or not to vote in a federal election. And this is none of those things,” Hasen said.
