The Facts

  • Elon Musk announced on Saturday that his Trump-supporting political action committee — America PAC — will give away $1M daily until Election Day to voters who sign his petition pledging to uphold the First and Second Amendments.

  • In addition to signing the petition, in order to be eligible for the random daily draw, participants must be registered to vote in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina.


The Spin

Republican narrative

Musk's million-dollar giveaway is a clever way to energize voters and protect constitutional rights. It's high time someone stood up against the bias of the mainstream media, which has refused to bring attention to his petition. This initiative, which is open to both Republicans and Democrats, will help rally everyone together to support the US Constitution.

Democratic narrative

The million-dollar giveaway is a thinly veiled attempt to manipulate voters and circumvent campaign finance laws. It raises serious ethical concerns about billionaires' influence in elections and the potential for voter coercion. This initiative undermines the democratic process and should be scrutinized by election officials.
