Tesla CEO Elon Musk , recently seen at a rally with Donald Trump , is offering $47 to every registered voter who refers others to sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments. This initiative, launched by Musk's Elon's America PAC, aims to gather one million signatures from voters in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. The deadline for participation is October 21.

The petition advocates for the protection of free speech and the right to bear arms, "By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments." Participants will receive $47 for each registered voter they refer who signs the petition.

"Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. This program is exclusively open to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina," the petition says.


During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Musk underscored the significance of the upcoming presidential election, declaring Trump as the sole candidate capable of preserving democracy in America. Wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, Musk remarked, “This will be the last election if Trump doesn’t win,” indicating the gravity he associates with the election's outcome.

While, Federal law prohibits payment for registering to vote or voting in federal elections; however, it allows for financial incentives related to petition signing.

Trump has expressed intentions to appoint Musk to a government efficiency commission should he reclaim the presidency.

As Musk’s PAC pushes for constitutional support, he contends that Democrats threaten both free speech and the right to bear arms, criticising a recent California proposal to ban voter ID requirements. The rally also commemorated the site of a July shooting that targeted Trump, further entrenching the political stakes at play.
