Gov. Shapiro says law enforcement could 'take a look at' Elon Musk's voter payments

#ElonMusk said at a #Pennylvania event that every day until #ElectionDay, he would give $1 million to a randomly selected voter who signs a petition circulated by his super PAC. Gov. Josh Shapiro says law enforcement “could take a look at” that.

Its not dark money, its as transparent as can be

[rhoust]

“When you start flowing this kind of money into politics…”.. Hello?!!! NOW you’re worried about it?!!

[RedHeatedStepChild]

They are so greedy. Just money for the politicians and not the people

[TyroneBrown-ufym]

Instead of Eli mask try to help these people who lost their house, family and loved ones. Give them something instead of throwing money away, man I wish I have money like him to help the people who need help this time.

Let’s take a look at Biden and Harris top donors.

[SMartzy]

IDC if a Trump fan or Kamala fan gets that money. I'd honestly be happy for them. Go for it

[billlee]

Bribery with his crazy wealth will destroy this opportunist who will go down in history as the greatest downfall of an American tech empire!

[isanchez]

And he has govt contracts...I thought the FEC was clear about that - govt contactors and political contributions. I work for a govt contractor, they never endorse or tell their employees how to vote, much less other Americans.

Sign the petition and get that money, but your vote is your vote is your secret 🙊.

[phuckerpower]

He's not saying that it is or isn't illegal, just that it's worth looking into to be sure. Sometimes there are weird loopholes that can be exploited.

[ronaldcole]

Yeah, that’s simply soliciting to play voters to vote a certain way. That’s absurd that he tries to legally disguise it at something else. Disgusting. And you know he sat around asking question to try to figure out an angle that potentially didn’t violate the law. I’m mean seriously.

[MelodyFarris]

Offering cash to people in order to get them to register is against the law. Offering this reward to only registered voters is basically the same thing. I dont see this ending well for musk

[FredGSanford-huuk]

If Elon was doing this for democrats it would be just fine. These people are nuts. You can smell the desperation!

[DH-dthk]

OMG… this can’t be legal…. Coercion at its finest

[nancyking]

Worse= using Taxpayers dollars to support People here ILLEGALLY

[pkxdlovers]

This looks really wrong. Does Elon also have a panel van with puppies and candy? People would be outraged if Kamala did this. He needs to be investigated.

[jennifermiller]

Yes, the million dollar payments need to be restricted to politicians and their families. We can’t have money flowing into the hands of random voters, that would corrupt the system. There is something seriously wrong with people!

[SumbalQureshi-cv]

Sickening part about it. He’s so open about it. He’s like “I can break the law. I can do whatever I want because I’m the richest man in the world.”

[wojtek]

Why would signing a petition be illegal? That is definitely not the same as buying votes which is exactly what student loan forgiveness is.

[webhead]

Elon needs to offer $10M to a CBS whistleblower to release the FULL, UN-EDITED 60 Minutes Kamala interview!!!
