A friend suggested that Democrats should sign Elon Musk’s petition so that his prize of $1 million a day could be shared by voters from both parties.
I googled his petition and discovered that only voters in the 7 battleground states are eligible to win, so that rules me out.
There has been debate about whether Musk’s money offer is legal. I don’t think it is legal. Federal law forbids paying people to vote or to register to vote.
He is offering not only $1 million a day to one person who signs up (the first three winners were–Surprise!–in Pennsylvania), but the petition pays $47 for every other person you refer who signs up.
I conclude: Yes, sign up. Get a chance to win $1 million from Elon. Why not? If you win, send Kamala a gift.
Carol Burris agrees. She writes:
Elon Musk is too cute by half.
He is attempting to buy the election by encouraging potential Trump voters to sign a petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments.
There are questions about the legality of his attempt, but it will not shut down anytime soon.
There is a way to undermine, if not stop it. Disrupt it.
Sign it. https://petition.theamericapac.org
Let his money go to Harris voters.
Can you imagine what he would do if the million-dollar prize went to a Harris supporter?
Can you imagine if enough folks who do not support Trump entered his database?
Give Elon and his minions extra work and a headache.
America cannot be bought.
Sign the petition and disrupt it.

And be sure to put in a referral name– let’s drain Elon’s “buy the election” fund.
