Musk-founded PAC says it will give $47 for every swing-state voter referral who signs petition

The America PAC, founded by tech billionaire Elon Musk, is asking the public to sign a petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments and offering supporters $47 for each subsequent registered voter a person gets to sign the petition in swing states.

Musk, who has endorsed former President Trump’s White House bid, encouraged his followers on the social platform X to sign the pledge and make referrals.

“For every person you refer who is a swing state voter, you get $47! Easy money,” Musk wrote in his post on the site he bought two years ago.

The petition pledges support for the Constitution’s first two amendments, which, according to the petition’s description, “guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.” The offer is valid for the next two weeks.

The America PAC is setting out to secure the signatures of 1 million registered voters in the seven key swing states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina.

It comes as the Trump and Vice President Harris campaigns kick into high gear in the battleground states. The election has become a nail-biter since Harris’s entry into the race — especially in those swing states, where polls have placed the distance between the two candidates often within the margin of error.

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling average, Harris leads Trump by 3.4 percentage points, 49.8 percent to Trump’s 46.4 percent.

Decision Desk HQ’s polling average shows Trump leading Harris by 1.2 points in Arizona and 0.7 points in both Georgia and North Carolina.

Harris, meanwhile, leads by 0.2 points in Michigan, 2 points in Nevada, 0.8 points in Pennsylvania and 1.3 points in Wisconsin.

The Hill has reached out to Musk’s PAC for comment.
