MAGA fans say Elon Musk still owes them 'thousands' for election petition referrals

Raw Story  

Some supporters of President-elect Donald Trump are calling out X owner Elon Musk for not paying them after they took part in his "free speech" petition ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In replies to a post criticizing Musk from Trump ally Laura Loomer, some Trump supporters said that they were still owed money after they took part in his petition drive scheme that promised participants $47 for each successful referral to sign the petition. In a follow up post, Oliver said that she has only been paid $94 so far for her efforts, and added that "I and many others like me are owed thousands." Former Republican lawmaker Barbara Comstock called it "MAGA on MAGA high school drama."
