Election 2024 Follies: Buyer's market?

[Taichiliberal]

Okay, our apartheid punk Elon is now telling the American public that he'll pay you to register to vote. Interesting that, being how the party of his god Trump-icana is doing everything they can in red states to suppress the vote among college kids and "minority" districts.

But Elon may have caused himself a headache (and given the Harris/Walz ticket yet another talking point), because it's now a question as to whether he's broken a law or two:

I doubt a challenge to what he is doing will hold water.

Elon Musk's $1M Giveaway​

Based on the provided search results, here’s a summary of how Elon Musk’s million-dollar giveaway works:

Eligibility: The giveaway is open to registered voters in seven swing states. To participate, individuals must sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, as well as the Constitution, through Elon Musk’s political action committee (PAC), America PAC.

Selection Process: Each day until the election (November 5, 2024), one signatory will be randomly selected and awarded a $1 million prize.

Prize Conditions: The winner will be required to serve as a spokesperson for America PAC, promoting the organization’s mission and values.

Legal Concerns: Several legal experts and Democrats have raised concerns that the giveaway may violate election laws by offering money for an act that requires someone to be registered to vote. This could be seen as inducing voters to register or vote in a specific way.

Reframed Giveaway: After the initial outcry, America PAC reframed the giveaway, stating that winners will be selected to earn $1 million as a spokesperson for the organization, rather than simply for signing the petition.

Funding: America PAC has already committed at least $70 million to support Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, with an initial budget of $140-$180 million.

Governor’s Concerns: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the state’s former attorney general, has expressed concerns about the giveaways, calling them “deeply concerning” and suggesting that law enforcement could investigate.

Overall, Elon Musk’s million-dollar giveaway appears to be a publicity stunt aimed at promoting his PAC’s mission and supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. However, its legality has been questioned by several experts and Democrats, citing potential violations of election laws.
