Elon Musk announced he will be giving out a million dollar check every day until the election during a town hall in Pennsylvania Saturday night. The Tesla CEO said that the recipients of the money will be signers of his petition surrounding free speech and the right to bear arms.

"I have a surprise for you," said Musk. "We're going to be awarding a million dollars randomly to people who have signed the petition, everyday from now until the election."

"How do we get people to know about this petition? Because the legacy media is not willing to report on it. Not everyone's on X," said Musk. "So I figure, how do we get people to know about it? Well this news, I think, will really fly.

The winner at the Harrisburg town hall was John Dreher, who described himself as a "big fan" of Musk.

After awarding Dreher, he said all that he asks is that Dreher continues to be a spokesperson for the petition.

Dreher congratulated Musk on his recent SpaceX rocket catch, thanked him, and said he's been following him for years.

"I got your autobiography ten years ago and I've been following you ever since," said Dreher to Musk. "Big fan."

It comes just days after he began offering $100 to those signing the petition in announcement made on his platform X.

After the awarding, Musk said he thinks "this is kinda fun" and "it seems like a good use of money."

Musk touched on other things during the town hall, like the importance of voting early while campaigning on behalf of the Trump-Vance ticket.

Paying $1 Million to vote for Trump, while campaiging for Trump, while posting $80 Million for his Trump PAC, might just be illegal.

It certainly destroyed yhe Tesla Brand.

Why are they only incentivizing people in swing states to sign the petition? Seems like the priority is less about getting the most signatures but collecting the most data about people in swing states likely to be pro trump?

I support free speech and I’d like a million dollars.
However, neither Musk nor Trump know what free speech means.

Why do you need a petition to support free speech? It’s already in the constitution dude

Offering cash to get people to register to vote is illegal. Offering the reward to only registered voters is basically the same thing. I don't see this ending well for musk

Sign a petition for free speech?! He’s up there criticizing the current administration… and still walking around and speaking freely.

Sure wish Elon would use his billions to end homelessness and food insecurity instead of on websites that don't make money and cars no one can buy.

It’s not illegal… but why is he doing it? He’s only in favor of free speech when it falls in line with what he wants/believes. What’s in it for him ? What has Trump promised him ? Neither one is for the average American.

So it's not signing of a petition, it's the buying of signatures. Very different things

Time to tax the obscenely wealthy. The middle class is tired of supporting them.

If you need to pay people to sign your petition you must not have anything that attracts them on its merits.
