Why Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaways Could Be Troublesome

Published On Oct 21, 2024, 7:52 AM

Elon Musk is currently implementing a controversial initiative to encourage voter turnout among conservatives by offering a lottery-style reward of $1 million to random signers of a petition his super PAC created. This move has raised significant legal concerns, as federal laws prohibit financial incentives for voter registration or voting. While some legal experts argue the initiative may be legal under specific conditions, others express skepticism, suggesting it could violate election laws.
