The billionaire’s cash prize scheme for registered voters was described as “clearly illegal” by one legal expert
Elon Musk is giving away $1 million a day to registered Pennsylvania voters who sign his MAGA petition . In a Sunday morning visit to “Meet the Press,” Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro suggested the unorthodox GOTV operation for Donald Trump could be an illegal attempt to buy votes.
Host Kristen Welker asked Shapiro whether he thought Musk’s plan, which gives away $1 million at random to one petition assignee while also promising cash for Pennsylvania voters who refer others to sign his Trump-backing petition, was legal.
“There are real questions about how he is spending money in this race, when the dark money is flowing,” Shapiro said. “When you start flowing this kind of money into politics, I think it raises serious questions that folks may want to take a look at.
