Is Elon Musk's $1 million election giveaway legal?

Elon Musk announced Saturday he is giving away $1 million daily through Nov. 5 to swing state voters who sign a petition for his pro-Trump political action committee. Musk has already committed at least $70 million to reelect the former president. Theodore Schleifer, campaign finance reporter for The New York Times, joins "America Decides" to examine the legality of the giveaways.

It's not 'recompense'! It's a form of bribery!

Legal or not, it lets us know what it takes to have a president in your pocket.

Are we supposed to be stupid enough to believe Elon Musk doesn't have lawyers?

Elon is a proud American. Way to go Elon!

The advertisement doesn't say, 'win $1, 000, 000' The ad says 'EARN $1, 000, 000.'

Any registered voters republican or democrat doesn’t matter it isn’t paying you to register to vote or everyone would get it

[NGT_C]

Wouldn't this be considered as a bribe ????

[Mehhhhhhhh]

The idea of a billionaire who's pushing for microchipping people being in kahoots with people who can create laws is terrifying. Nobody sees it as terrifying? Just me?

If you're a wealthy man living out of a shoe box, you might want to drop 75 million on something...if...your life depends on it. This isn't support, this is extreme.

[hammerfallen]

I only see two things after this election...Trump and Musk working at McDonald's and a empty wallet😂😂😂

[DCGreenZone]

Not wise to ask questions that you already know the answer to.

[levietthanh]

Money for American constitution. That'a all hos clear money for America. Bravo ELON MUSK, Great genius

Elon is also a Canadian citizen so pretty sure that he can also do this to support our next Canadian election! So keeping an eye on this !

The Contention City scene in 3:10 to Yuma. Ben Wade's being held captive in a hotel by Dan Evans (a rancher) and the Sheriff and his Deputy. Ben Wade is to later be escorted by them to be put on a train to Yuma Prison. Charlie Prince (a money coach robber and gang member of Ben Wade's) shouts to the bystanders standing outside the hotel loudly that he'll give them $200 cash dollars to any one of them who shoots anyone of his captors. Incentive to do the wrong thing in other words. The only reason why this strategy works is because people place monetary gain over integrity!
