Pennsylvania : In a stunning move, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has pledged to award $1 million every day until the November presidential election to individuals who sign his online petition supporting the U.S. Constitution. Staying true to his promise, Musk handed over a $1 million check to John Dreher, an unsuspecting participant at a rally in Pennsylvania, sparking headlines across the political landscape.
“By the way, John had no idea. So anyway, you’re welcome,” Musk quipped as he surprised Dreher with the massive reward during the rally, which aimed to galvanize support for Donald Trump.
This initiative is part of Musk’s wider efforts to mobilize voters through America PAC, a political action group he established to back Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The PAC is working to secure voter registrations across key swing states but is reportedly struggling to meet its ambitious goals.
The rally marked Musk’s third event in three days across Pennsylvania, where he emphasized the importance of early voting and urged supporters to mobilize their networks. Musk framed the November election as a turning point for the country, warning:
“If Kamala Harris wins, this will be the last election. The United States as we know it will cease to exist.”
In a bold statement, Musk referenced alleged assassination attempts on Trump, suggesting they highlight Trump’s disruption of the political establishment.
“No one tries to kill a puppet,” Musk added, in a provocative jab at Harris.
As part of the petition campaign, participants sign a declaration affirming their support for the First and Second Amendments, which Musk describes as cornerstones of free speech and personal liberty. Those attending the event were required to sign the petition, granting America PAC access to their contact information to facilitate future voter outreach.
According to federal records, Musk has funneled $75 million into America PAC, making it a central force in Trump’s election bid. The billionaire, best known for founding Tesla and SpaceX, has taken an increasingly vocal role in Republican politics, lending both financial and public support to Trump.
Trump has responded warmly to Musk’s backing, hinting that if re-elected, he would appoint the entrepreneur to lead a government efficiency commission.
As Musk’s involvement continues to expand, political analysts say his influence could reshape the race, adding yet another unpredictable element to this year’s election.
