What Is the Elon Musk $1 Million Giveaway?
Elon Musk revealed that he would give away $1 million each day to a randomly chosen registered voter from selected battleground states until Election Day.

Musk, who is actively campaigning for Donald Trump, launched this giveaway to promote a petition under the pro-Trump America PAC (Political Action Committee). He believes that traditional media might not highlight the petition, so this giveaway is a way to raise awareness and get more people involved.
Registered US voters can participate by visiting the official website of America PAC, theamericapac.org, and signing the petition. Once they sign up, they are automatically eligible for the daily draw of $1 million. The program is open only to registered voters in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
Elon Musk’s announcement has raised concerns about the legality of the program. According to US federal law, it is illegal to offer payment or gifts in exchange for voter registration or voting. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concerns, stating that law enforcement might need to investigate the program. In response, Musk argued on social media that there is nothing wrong with the giveaway.
Voters interested in participating can visit the website, theamericapac.org. However, the website is only accessible from within the United States and cannot be viewed from other countries, including India. Visitors outside the US will see a message stating that the website is blocked and only available to US users.
