With US elections around the corner, Elon Musk has increased his support for Republican candidate Donald Trump’s campaign by offering $100 to registered Pennsylvania voters to sign his petition, reinforcing the right to bear arms and free speech.

The PAC, specifically formed to support Trump’s campaign, aims to gather 1 million signatories from swing states in support of the First and Second Amendments of the US Constitution.

In a post on X, Musk said: “If you’re a registered Pennsylvania voter, you & whoever referred you will now get $100 for signing our petition in support of free speech & right to bear arms. Earn money for supporting something you already believe in! Offer valid until midnight on Monday.”

Tesla and Space X boss took advanced measures to abstain from any potential fraud and explained that cheques will be mailed to addresses listed in state voter rolls.

Pennsylvania has emerged as an essential front-line state in the election, with considerable investments from both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. From September 1 to 20 as shown by recent statistics, Pennsylvania received a quarter of all spending on the presidential campaign.

In the electoral college, Pennsylvania seizes the majority electoral votes among swing states, declaring it as crucial to both candidates’ paths to the White House.
