Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk made a surprising announcement on Saturday evening at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. He revealed that he will be awarding $1 million every day to one lucky person until Election Day.
Musk, who publicly endorsed Donald Trump after being shot in July, has been actively involved in the current presidential campaign. He recently launched the America PAC, which targets seven key battleground states and aims to promote values such as free speech, secure borders, and sensible spending.
The America PAC features a petition for supporters to pledge their allegiance to the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. For every registered voter they refer to sign the petition, they can receive $47. And now, with Musk’s announcement, one person will receive $1 million randomly every day until the election.
During the rally, Musk called the first winner of the America PAC’s $1 million petition signer giveaway up to the stage. John Dreher, a longtime fan of Musk, was ecstatic to receive the seven-figure check. In a video shared by the PAC’s official X account, Dreher can be seen expressing his excitement and gratitude towards Musk. He later revealed that meeting Musk was even more thrilling than winning the money.
ELON MUSK: “I have a surprise for you. We are going to be awarding $1 MILLION to people who have signed the petition every day, from now until the election.”

The America PAC’s focus on promoting the Constitution and supporting Trump’s reelection has gained attention and support from many. In fact, Trump himself has expressed his confidence in Musk’s abilities by announcing that he will lead a Government Efficiency Commission if he wins the election.

When asked about the goal behind the $1 million daily prize, Musk stated that it is to raise awareness for their petition and promote the values they stand for.
The America PAC also has a team dedicated to boosting voter registration and turnout in the swing states. They even offer performance bonuses to their team members, with a starting pay of $30 per hour.

Musk’s surprising announcement at the Trump rally has once again drawn attention to his involvement in politics and his support for Trump’s reelection.
His America PAC has already made a significant impact and will continue to do so until Election Day. Whether or not this strategy will sway voters in the seven targeted states remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Musk’s involvement in the political arena has certainly caused a stir.
