CEO Elon Musk, who is backing Donald Trump in the presidential election, on Sunday touted a $47 referral bonus that the billionaire’s political action committee is offering to people for each registered swing-state voter whom they refer to an online petition that requires signers to submit personal contact information.
“For every person you refer who is a swing state voter, you get $47!” Musk wrote in a post on X, the social media site he owns. “Easy money.” If Trump is elected, he would be the 47th president of the U.S.
The petition declares that its signers support “First and Second Amendment rights,” but it contains no details about who the petition will be delivered to, or when, or any demands that the signers have, all core elements of traditional petitions.
Instead, the petition seeks the personal contact information of swing-state voters. Upon signing, all users, regardless of their state, are directed to a page that contains voter registration links for just seven states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Musk’s America PAC said its goal “is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.”
“This program is exclusively open to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina,” the PAC said. Those states are considered highly likely to provide the margin of victory in the election contest between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
