‘Easy money’: Trump backer Elon Musk claims PAC will pay $47 for swing state voter information
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk touted a $47 referral bonus that the billionaire’s political action committee is offering to the public for each registered swing-state voter whom they refer to an online petition that collects personal contact information of voters who are “in favor of free speech and the right to bear arms.”
- Musk’s promotion of the petition came a day after he appeared with Donald Trump at a campaign rally by the Republican presidential nominee in Butler, Pennsylvania.
- The states where the offer is valid — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina — are considered likely to provide the margin of victory in the election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.

CEO Elon Musk, who is backing Donald Trump in the presidential election, on Sunday touted a $47 referral bonus that the billionaire’s political action committee is offering to people for each registered swing-state voter whom they refer to an online petition that requires signers to submit personal contact information.
“For every person you refer who is a swing state voter, you get $47!” Musk wrote in a post on X, the social media site he owns. “Easy money.” If Trump is elected, he would be the 47th president of the U.S.
The petition declares that its signers support “First and Second Amendment rights,” but it contains no details about who the petition will be delivered to, or when, or any demands that the signers have, all core elements of traditional petitions.
