Detailed news
On Saturday, billionaire Elon Musk announced that he would distribute $1 million daily until the November election to an individual who signs his online petition in support of the U.S. Constitution.
He promptly awarded a $1 million check to an attendee of his Pennsylvania event, which was designed to unite supporters in support of Republican Donald Trump. According to the event personnel, John Dreher was the victor.
“By the way, John was unaware.” “In any case, you are most welcome,” the Tesla founder stated as he presented Dreher with the check.
The money is the most recent illustration of Musk’s utilization of his extraordinary fortune to influence the closely contested presidential race between Trump and his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.
In support of Trump’s presidential campaign, Musk established America PAC, a political action organization. The organization is assisting in the mobilization and registration of voters in battleground states; however, there are indications that it is experiencing difficulty in accomplishing its objectives.
Musk is urging supporters to vote early and encourage others to do the same, portraying November’s election in severe terms, and the Harrisburg event is the third in as many days in Pennsylvania.
He stated on Saturday that the United States would cease to exist if Harris were to win, implying that it would be “the last election.”
He also stated that the two assassination attempts against Trump demonstrate that he is disrupting the status quo and ruffling feathers in a manner that Harris will not. He stated that this is the reason why no one is attempting to assassinate Harris.
Musk reiterated an argument he had previously expressed in a social media post, stating that “Assassinating a puppet is worthless.”
Musk is requesting signatures on a petition that states, “The First and Second Amendments guarantee the right to bear arms and freedom of speech.” I am affirming my commitment to the First and Second Amendments by signing the following.
America PAC was required to collect the contact information of additional potential voters in order to mobilize them to the polls in support of Trump. This was accomplished by requiring attendees of Saturday’s event to sign the petition.
According to federal disclosures, Musk, who is considered the world’s wealthiest individual by Forbes, has contributed at least $75 million to America PAC thus far. This organization is an essential component of Trump’s campaign to reclaim the White House.
This year, the entrepreneur who founded Tesla and SpaceX, a rocket and satellite venture, has become an outspoken supporter of Republican causes.
Trump has previously stated that he would appoint Musk to serve as the head of a government efficiency commission if he were to be elected.
