Elon Musk's Trump-supporting political action committee has begun distributing $1 million checks to randomly selected petition signers. The initiative, aimed at promoting voter registration in swing states, has sparked legal concerns over potential vote-buying. Three Republican voters from Pennsylvania have received the prize, all having already cast their mail-in ballots before winning. Critics, including election law experts, argue that Musk’s actions could be an illegal incentive tied to voter registration, although the winners were registered before the prize announcement.
