Josh Shapiro said Sunday that Elon Musk’s plans to give $1 million to registered voters who sign his super PAC’s petition is “deeply concerning” and should be looked into by law enforcement. “I think there are real questions with how he is spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing, not just into Pennsylvania, but apparently now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians,” Shapiro said in an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Josh Shapiro said Sunday that Elon Musk’s plan to give $1 million to registered voters who sign his super PAC’s petition is ‘deeply concerning’ A day earlier, Musk made the announcement that would give away $1 million a day, at random, until the November 5 election, to one person who has signed his PAC’s petition supporting the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, with its right “to keep and bear arms.” The first million went to a man identified as John Dreher during an event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Elon Musk pledged to give away $1 million every day, until the November 5 election, to those who sign his PAC’s petition But the giveaway is raising questions and alarms among some election experts who say it is a violation of the law to link a cash handout to signing a petition that also requires a person to be registered to vote.
