Does Musk’s daily $1m giveaway constitute election interference?

Elon Musk is giving money to registered voters who sign a petition created by his pro-Trump America PAC.
Billionaire Elon Musk has pledged to award $1m every day until election day in the United States on November 5 to randomly selected registered voters who sign a petition to “support the constitution” launched by his pro-Donald Trump America Political Action Committee (PAC).
Musk announced the giveaway on Saturday at an America PAC-hosted rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The scheme has come under scrutiny by legal experts as well as Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, who on Sunday asked law enforcement to launch an investigation into potential election interference.
