America PAC, Elon Musk’s political action group, has started a new campaign to mobilize support for constitutional rights, focusing on swing states. The political action committee (PAC) is providing a cash reward of $47 for each successfully referred petition that supports the rights to bear weapons and free expression. Musk used his enormous power to spread the word about this effort to his 200 million followers on X, the former name of Twitter.
On Sunday, Musk called on his followers to sign a petition supporting the preservation of free speech and the Second Amendment. To encourage participation, America PAC is offering $47 to anyone who refers a signatory from a swing state to this petition. The initiative’s objective is to gather one million signatures from voters in these key states, indicating widespread support for these constitutional rights.
This effort comes at a time when America PAC is facing scrutiny for its practices. The committee has been under investigation for its data collection activities in Michigan and other pivotal states. Musk founded and funded America PAC to bolster support for former President Donald Trump, a move that has drawn criticism due to his political leanings.
There have been questions raised by Musk’s recent support of Trump and his involvement in conservative politics. The internet tycoon has utilized his platform to promote voter support for the former president in addition to showing up at Trump rallies like the one in Butler, Pennsylvania.
According to reports, Musk has been secretly paying millions of dollars to the conservative organization Building America’s Future since 2022. This group, whose contributors are not required to be disclosed, has been an outspoken opponent of the Biden administration’s progressive objectives. Musk is making a calculated effort to change public opinion in favor of his chosen candidates, as seen by his financial inducements and public endorsements.
