5. The $47 wasn't for registering to vote.

You had to sign the petition and another person had to sign the petition listing you as their referrer.

From the Rolling Stone article in my other response:

Elon Musk‘s America PAC initially promised $47 per signature on a short statement: “The First and Second Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. By signing below, I am pledging my support for the First and Second Amendments.” The form asks for the signatory’s name, phone number, email address, and mailing address. However, you don’t get $47 for signing the pledge yourself, and can only claim this money if you refer another registered voter who signs, listing you as their referrer. Both individuals must be registered voters in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin for the referrer to be eligible for payment.
