All three Pennsylvanians are registered Republicans and had already returned their mail ballots before receiving Elon Musk's $1 million randomly awarded prize for signing the America PAC petition.

Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway for voters who sign his free-speech and gun-rights petition falls into a gray area of election law, and legal experts are divided about whether the billionaire supporter of Donald Trump could be running afoul of prohibitions on paying people to register to vote.

Musk pinned a post on his X platform "If you’re a registered Pennsylvania voter, you & whoever referred you will now get $100 for signing our petition in support of free speech & right to bear arms. Earn money for supporting something you already believe in!"

Stumping for Trump, the tycoon is embracing a progress-for-its-own-sake vision of the future. Guess who benefits?

Michigan secretary of state and X owner tussle over Musk’s false claims about fraud caused by large numbers of inactive voters.

While offering money for petition signatures isn't illegal on its own, it could cross the legal line if it's conditioned on voter registration.
