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.

    Sad thing is that this needs a quick response, and that’s not happening.

      It will take weeks to move forward, by then the election is over and certified by the House. Musk gets what he wants, justice isn’t done in time, and even if it gets to the courts, the courts are bought and sold to the highest bidder on lawyers.

      Laws are for poor people.

        Exactly the same way he killed public transportation initiatives with his hyperloop puffery, only to never deliver anything.

        Of course, still no public transportation. But hey, he sold some Teslas.

        He’s a garden variety con man, on a grander stage.

      Funny they don’t train cops to stop rich people crime that needs quick responses, just poor people crime that needs quick responses.

        The people who “support law enforcement” also want to defund the IRS and other regulatory agencies.
