Gov. Josh Shapiro Calls On Authorities to 'Take a Look' at Elon Musk's Million-Dollar Giveaway to Registered PA Voters

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) called on authorities to investigate billionaire Elon Musk’s million-dollar giveaway to registered voters in his state, as well as six other battlegrounds.

Recently, the technology investor has vowed to award $1 million a day to registered voters who sign a petition with the pro-Trump political action committee that Musk is supporting. Though the payout is tied to signature of the petition not registering to vote, come critics — including prominent election law expert Rick Hasen — have questioned the legality of Musk’s giveaway, considering that it is only open to registered voters.

Speaking with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker on Sunday morning’s Meet The Press, Shapiro said Musk’s actions were “deeply concerning” while noting that “dark money is flowing not just into Pennsylvania, but apparently now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians.”

Next year most likely. They need to take action now. Maybe a cease and desist order?

when he publicly stated that he wouldn't be partisan. He would have zero reason to say that to Democrats who aren't the ones violating the law.

I guess being a spineless weasel means you're a moderate republican. And don't mention raygun because that's why we're in this predicament. Nixon was way more decent than raygun. EPA dated back to his administration. raygun's first act as Prez was to rip off the WH solar panels.

become standard. The richest men in the world will control elections even more than they already do.
Thanks to Shapiro. Of course it will be too late for this election, and too late for democracy unless Kamala wins.
