Elon Musk has pledged to give $1 million daily to swing state voters who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights.
However, experts raise concerns that the giveaway could violate federal law. It is illegal to pay individuals to register to vote, and the Justice Department considers offering lotteries in exchange for registration as a form of bribery.
Musk’s giveaway requires participants to be registered voters, which could cross this legal line. Some experts believe he may violate the spirit of the law, even if not the letter.
If Musk violates the law, the Justice Department could take action. However, experts note that it would be unusual for such an action to be taken so close to Election Day.
Legal experts say Musk’s giveaway could set a dangerous precedent for future elections, prioritizing personal financial incentives over thoughtful voting decisions.
