Musk promised to “reward” voters who signed a petition in support of the 1st and 2nd Amendments (freedom of speech and the right to bear arms) to the US Constitution every day until the November presidential election.

As NBN reports, citing CNN sources, representatives of the Public Integrity Division of the US Department of Justice warned Trump billionaire Elon Musk's America PAC committee that the businessman's intentions regarding the transfer of $1 million for promoting the above-described petition openly violate federal law.
In particular, US federal law directly prohibits financially “motivating” people to register to participate in the electoral process. In order to sign Musk's petition, US citizens must register to vote in a number of states, according to local laws.
It should be noted that America PAC pays $1 million to people, whose names are randomly selected, from the list of “signatories” of this controversial petition, which indirectly supports the election campaign of conservative Republican Donald Trump.
