On Monday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and his PAC in order to prevent them from disbursing $1 million daily to a registered voter in a swing state who signs their petition.

The petition simply asks people to sign if they desire secure borders, safe cities, free speech, sensible spending, self-protection, and a fair justice system in the U.S.

Additionally, the First and Second Amendments, which address American constitutional rights related to speech, religion, and firearms, are endorsed by petition signatories.

“America PAC and Musk are luring Philadelphia citizens – and others in the Commonwealth (and other swing states in the upcoming election) – to give up their personal identifying information and make a political pledge in exchange for the chance to win $1 million,” according to the legal complaint.

“America PAC’s and Musk’s lottery is plainly not a lawful lottery,” the lawsuit notes.

The complaint claims that the lottery is in violation of Pennsylvania law, which mandates that all lotteries in the state be subject to government regulation. Additionally, the DA argued that Musk and his American PAC “have not published a complete set of lottery rules or shown how they are protecting the privacy of participants’ personal information,” which he highlighted is a violation of Pennsylvania consumer protection laws.

Musk is accused in the case of “falsely claiming” that the winner was chosen at random, with the liberal DA asserting that “multiple winners that have been selected are individuals who have shown up at Trump rallies in Pennsylvania.”

However, after the story first broke, social media users noted that it is not abnormal for Trump supporters to sign a petition touting the same ideals that the Republican Party and Trump have openly expressed as guiding principles for how the U.S. should operate.

Musk has publicly expressed support for the GOP nominee, former President Donald Trump, appearing at a number of Trump rallies alongside the former president and large crowds of supporters.

According to the lawsuit, Musk and the PAC purportedly promised to give $100 to registered voters who signed a pro-First and Second Amendment petition, but the district attorney’s office stated that they don’t believe that any of those payments have been made.

CNN reported that the PAC has already received a warning letter from the U.S. Justice Department claiming that the gift may be in violation of federal election law.

Last Thursday, Musk seemed unfazed by the warning. The PAC declared two victors on Thursday but did not declare a winner on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas is being asked by Krasner to issue an order that would forbid Musk and his political action committee from carrying out “any unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with their lottery.”

Meanwhile, the New York Times reported last week that Bill Gates “disclosed in private” that he donated around $50 million to a nonprofit assisting Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for president, according to individuals familiar with the matter who spoke with the outlet.

At the start of October, the makers of the “raunchy” card game Cards Against Humanity offered to pay blue-leaning non-voters in battleground states $100 as long as they made voting plans and posted on social media that “Donald Trump is a human toilet.”

In addition, the Tufts University Career Center has similarly offered a pro-Harris initiative, “compensating people up to $400 to talk with their friends and family about voting.” Specifically, the program is “about supporting Kamala Harris for President, as well as candidates who are fighting for climate change, reproductive freedom, democracy, healthcare, marijuana legalization, and more. It’s a chance to help shape the future while making a tangible difference,” according to its website.

Musk Offers Cash to Voters in Swing States that Support Second Amendment

 

Elon Musk is offering $47 to registered voters in swing states for each signature referred to other registered voters who pledge support for the First and Second Amendments.

Presidential Candidate Donald Trump held a return rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, to show his resolve in the face of two nearly successful assassination attempts. Elon Musk, a staunch supporter of the First Amendment and a genius entrepreneur, spoke in support of the First and Second Amendments. Elon made this generous offer:

In appreciation for your support, you will receive $47 for each registered voter you refer that signs this petition.

Our goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. The program is exclusively open to registered voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina. Expires October 21.

The petition requires first and last name, email address, cell phone number (to confirm the signer’s identity only), and mailing address. Once a person has signed the petition, they can refer others to sign.

The petition is available online. For the petition to be valid, the signer must be a registered voter in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina. You do not need to show who referred you to sign the petition.  This correspondent has signed the petition.

Elon Musk has placed himself squarely against former President Donald Trump in this election. It is a simple act of defense of the Republic of the United States of America. Elon is a naturalized citizen of the Republic. When Elon purchased X (formerly Twitter) in order to protect free speech and to fight censorship, he placed himself, and his fortune, in extreme jeopardy.

Elon Musk has been relentlessly attacked by the Biden administration. The current administration has used their power to hinder his operation of Space X by delaying permission for his launches. When the Biden administration held a conclave of electric vehicle manufacturers, Musk owned Tesla, the foremost electric vehicle manufacturer, was not invited.  When Elon Musk proffered a low bid for rural broadband delivery with Starlink, the bid was accepted by the FCC, then rejected by the Biden administration. Leftist influencer Keith Olberman has called for the Biden administration to deport Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has seen how this authoritarian abuse of power proceeds in other countries. If a Harris administration is placed in power, the enterprises owned by Elon Musk will be either be destroyed or co-opted by the government. The Biden/Harris administration has repeatedly ignored the rule of law. They have censored the opposition and conspired to illegitimately jail opponents. They have weaponized the Department of Justice to prosecute the opposition candidate, Donald Trump. They have been the most anti-Second Amendment administration in the history of the USA.

If candidate Harris becomes president with the Democratic Party in control of Congress, the election process will be altered to make a win by a supporter of the Constitution impossible. The Supreme Court will be neutered and/or packed with far-left Harris supporters. The current censorship will be magnified many times.

The Trump administration has already shown it will allow Elon Musk to maintain control of his enterprises and will encourage him to succeed in free market competition.

This correspondent believes those who sign the petition will be encouraged to vote. If you wish to show this correspondent, who is a registered voter in Arizona, as the person who referred you, you may put the email address of isherllc@gmail.com in the referral box.
