Musk announced Saturday that every day until Election Day, he would give $1 million to a randomly selected voter who signs a petition circulated by his super PAC.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Sunday that tech mogul Elon Musk’s plan to give money to registered voters in Pennsylvania is “deeply concerning” and “it’s something that law enforcement could take a look at.”

Shapiro’s comments on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” come one day after Musk announced in Pennsylvania that every day until Election Day, he would give $1 million to a random registered voter who signs a petition circulated by his super PAC “in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms.”

The super PAC has made signing the petition a prerequisite for attending rallies headlined by Musk, and on Saturday he surprised one rally attendee by giving away the first $1 million check onstage.

Just donated an extra $500 to the Harris campaign.

I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to the $75 mil Musk is pumping into Trumps campaign but given I'm nowhere near a swing state I don't know if there's much else I can do to combat this.

Making sure all of your friends and family have a voting plan and offering transportation to polls is probably a better way to help.

No friends and all my family votes early by mail. Done.
