Elon Musk’s $1 Million A Day For Voters Could Be Illegal, Say Experts

Elon Musk's $1 Million A Day For Voters Could Be Illegal, Say Experts
Oct 23 2024 Share

While campaigning for Donald Trump, tech billionaire Elon Musk announced a controversial plan to give away $1 million daily to registered voters in key battleground states.

The sweepstakes, tied to a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, has drawn scrutiny from election law experts who argue it may violate federal laws prohibiting payments for voter registration.

Musk, who has donated over $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC, launched the initiative just before registration deadlines in states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.

Critics, including election law specialists Derek Muller and David Becker, have raised concerns that offering money exclusively to registered voters could be seen as illegal voter inducement.

Musk’s initial announcement in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led to the naming of the first million-dollar winner, with subsequent winners selected during other campaign events. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concern, prompting Musk to defend the sweepstakes on social media.

Election law experts, including Rick Hasen from UCLA, argue that the program constitutes illegal vote-buying.

Despite attempts by Musk’s team to reframe the giveaway as a “job opportunity,” legal experts believe the changes do little to address the potential violations. The initiative continues to face criticism for its potential impact on voter registration and its legality under federal law.
