This PAC’s Pro-Trump Move Has Voters Rushing to Sign – You’ll Be Shocked at What They Get!

Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC, “Musk’s America,” is under the spotlight after announcing it mailed more than 87,000 checks to supporters who recruited swing-state voters to sign a petition, an initiative that has now drawn legal action. This recent move to pay individuals for gathering petition signatures has intensified scrutiny, with the Philadelphia District Attorney filing a lawsuit alleging violations of Pennsylvania state law.

In a post on X, Musk’s America PAC said it has “sent out more than 87,000 checks” to individuals who successfully referred voters who signed its petition, which promotes support for the First and Second Amendments. The PAC stated an additional 100,000 checks are expected to go out on Wednesday. Whether these checks represent the total referrals gathered so far or just an initial wave remains unclear.

This campaign’s central promise offers a payout of $47 per successful referral of a registered swing-state voter who agrees to sign. Earlier this month, Musk declared a bold objective of collecting one million swing-state signatures for the petition, setting a high target for the controversial initiative. If each of the 187,000 checks mailed represents a single referral, this would cost the PAC around $8.79 million, but the actual amount is likely much higher as many individuals could potentially refer multiple voters.

Adding fuel to the controversy, the PAC is also offering a daily $1 million prize for petition signees, with recent winners spanning key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Arizona. To qualify, a participant must be registered in one of seven swing states identified as critical for the upcoming election. So far, 11 winners have claimed the $1 million prize, with the most recent winner hailing from Griffin, Georgia.

Legal Challenges Mount Against Musk’s PAC Efforts

America PAC, which sources most of its funding from Musk, has caught the eye of federal authorities. Last week, the DOJ’s public integrity division issued a warning letter to the PAC, citing possible violations of federal election laws. Under U.S. election law, any direct financial incentive for voter registration or participation could result in penalties, including up to a $10,000 fine or a five-year prison sentence.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has escalated matters by filing a lawsuit against Musk and his PAC, demanding an immediate halt to the daily million-dollar sweepstakes. Krasner described the prize as an “illegal lottery” that could unfairly influence voter participation. “We believe this is an attempt to manipulate the voting process under the guise of free speech,” Krasner’s office stated in a press release, adding that the initiative’s design seemed intended to sway the opinions of undecided voters in critical states.

Musk’s Role in Funding Trump’s Campaign

Musk’s financial commitment to Trump’s reelection bid has grown significantly, with donations exceeding $118 million as of mid-October, according to Federal Election Commission records. This contribution makes him the second-largest donor to Trump’s campaign efforts, following billionaire Timothy Mellon, who has contributed $150 million to various pro-Trump organizations.

As of October, America PAC had raised approximately $130 million, though nearly $127 million has already been allocated to its voter-outreach campaign, including the controversial cash-for-signatures strategy. Some political analysts believe Musk’s approach to voter mobilization—while legally questionable—signals a new era in high-stakes political funding, where mega-donors leverage creative, and sometimes risky, incentives to gather support.

Musk’s Wealth and Political Influence

With a net worth of around $269.3 billion, Musk remains the wealthiest individual globally, bolstered by recent surges in Tesla’s stock price that added an estimated $26 billion to his fortune in a single week. His influence extends far beyond business into the political sphere, where his significant financial support for Trump has raised eyebrows, both from political observers and from those concerned about the ethics of billionaire-funded electoral interventions.

Musk’s political ambitions through America PAC continue to face intense scrutiny from both state and federal legal bodies, as critics argue that offering cash to motivate voter engagement and petition support may distort the democratic process. As this story unfolds, many are watching closely to see how Musk’s influence—and America PAC’s funding strategies—will shape the dynamics of the swing-state vote in the upcoming election.
