Elon Musk Pays 3rd PA Voter $1M For Signing Petition Ahead Of Election

PENNSYLVANIA — Billionaire Elon Musk paid a third Pennsylvania voter a $1 million sum late Monday, the latest jackpot award he has provided to registered voters who enter a lottery by signing a "pledge" to the first and second amendments.

The Monday winner was identified by Musk's America PAC as Shannon from McKees Rocks in Allegheny County. Musk himself reshared the post, saying "Congratulations, Shannon!"

A new winner in select swing states will receive $1 million every day until election day, the PAC said.

According to an investigation from the Daily Beast, two of the first three winners of Musk's $1 million payout in Pennsylvania had already early voted for Donald Trump.

The controversial payouts appear to fall in a legal gray area, with analysts unable to reach a consensus on the nature of Musk's payouts within United States election code.

Hugo Lowell, with the popular Election Law Blog, said it is "clearly illegal," citing election code that states "Whoever...pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…"

Because nothing like this has ever been done in the history of American elections, other scholars say it's less clear.

“I think it straddles the line," John Fortier, an election expert with the American Enterprise Institute, told NBC News.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has called for law enforcement to investigate the payouts.

Musk has also pledged $47 to supporters for each citizen they register to vote.

Payments are specifically targeting citizens in Pennsylvania, but are also being sent to voters in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
