Musk's Super Pac Offers $47 to Those Who Help It Find Trump Voters

Elon Musk's super PAC, America PAC, is offering $47 to individuals who help recruit voters to sign a petition supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The initiative aims to gather one million signatures from registered voters in seven battleground states, focusing on support for the First and Second Amendments. The petition is being promoted through Musk's social media platform, X, and aims to identify energized conservative voters. While the program allows unlimited referrals, it includes verification measures to prevent abuse. Legal experts suggest that the initiative is not problematic as it compensates referrers rather than signatories, thus avoiding accusations of vote buying. Musk has been actively promoting the PAC, emphasizing a grassroots approach to political campaigning. Additionally, the PAC plans to increase its spending on door-to-door canvassing, raising pay for canvassers to $30 per hour. This effort reflects Musk's strategy of leveraging personal connections and referrals to mobilize support for Trump.
