Cold cash: Elon Musk awards $1 million check to Pennsylvania voter as part of Trump petition campaign

Musk Gives Away Another $1 Million Check to Pennsylvania Voter

Billionaire Elon Musk handed out a second million-dollar check on Sunday to a Pennsylvania voter as part of his political action committee’s petition campaign. Kristine Fishell, the lucky recipient, was thrilled as she raised the oversized check during a lively event at the Roxian Theatre in McKees Rocks, just outside Pittsburgh.

Musk’s Commitment to Free Speech

Fishell expressed her gratitude, saying, “I truly believe everything you’re doing. You don’t need to be doing it. Your wealth and responsibility you are using to save speech, and we just all appreciate it.” Musk’s initiative, aimed at promoting free speech and the right to bear arms, offers a $1 million prize daily to one random signer of his petition until the Nov. 5 election.

Swing-State Voters Stand to Win Big

Musk’s petition, which asks voters to pledge support for the First and Second Amendments, has drawn considerable attention in key swing states. Eligible voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina can sign the petition, with Musk pledging $1 million a day to one lucky signer through the election season. The window to sign the petition closes Monday, Oct. 21.

Excitement Builds Among Attendees

Sunday’s event attracted a crowd eager to hear Musk speak, and the chance to win big money added to the buzz. Joe Ponsi, an attendee, said, “I’ve been a Musk fan even before the elections. I’m excited to hear what he has to say.”

Musk’s first million-dollar check was handed out on Saturday to John Droher during a campaign event for Donald Trump. With 16 more winners to be announced, excitement continues to build as the campaign rolls on.
