Elon Musk is trying to boost the number of swing-state voters by paying people to sign a petition saying they will support free speech and the Second Amendment.
The petition doesn’t register people to vote or require anyone to show up at a polling place on Election Day. To boost support for voting, Musk’s America PAC is offering $47 for every referral that results in a signature via his pro-Trump super PAC.
Only voters in swing states — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina — are eligible for the payments, and they must refer people by Oct. 21. That deadline is the final day voters in Pennsylvania and Michigan can register to vote if they want to cast a ballot in November.
America PAC has also hired canvassers in swing states.
Signers of the petition would be pledging their support for the First and Second amendments, which have been Musk’s cited reasons for endorsing former President Donald Trump.
