Wow! Talk about a bold move! Elon Musk just posted on X.com that he’s pushing to get people to sign a petition in support of the U.S. Constitution — and apparently he’s offering $47 for every citizen of a swing-state you can get to sign the petition!
Do you feel that!??? It’s either Elon’s bank vault door opening up, or it’s democrat heads popping from the pure audacity. It might be both.
Sign our petition to support the Constitution!
Also earn $47 for every person you refer to sign the petition if they’re in a swing state.
Goal is to get 1M voters in swing states to show support for free speech & right to bear arms. https://t.co/2cjdY7pnj9

I honestly thought I was seeing one of the many Elon Musk Parody accounts at first — but this is his authentic X.com account! Wow, what a bold move! My brain is scrambling with one question… is that legal?
Sign our petition in defense of YOUR Constitutional rights to Free Speech & Bear Arms!
Goal is to get 1M voters in swing states to sign this petition.
For each registered swing state voter you refer that signs the petition, you get $47!https://t.co/PgHAgrmrv8

At the moment, I’m not sure how the payout process would work — but this seems to be a genius move from Elon Musk! Buying votes? No… that’s Kamala’s game. But paying for getting registered voters in swing-states to simply sign a petition, and raise awareness of Constitutional issues???
I’m no lawyer, but from my vantage point it sounds like Elon Musk is playing 5-D chess!
The petition website can be found here: https://petition.theamericapac.org/
And from what I can tell, you do have to enter your phone number: “Will only be used to confirm you are the legitimate petition signer. No other purpose.”

As usual, Elon Musk seems to have found a way to raise awareness of an issue he is passionate about, rile up his enemies, and throw some cash towards a few petitioners who want to take him up on his swing-state challenge!
UPDATE: During the process of digitally signing the petition, you must enter a valid email address, and a phone number (as I mentioned in the original story). You are also asked if you were referred by someone, and if so you must enter their phone number or email address. My best guess is that will allow for verification for the promised $47 payout for getting signatures of registered voters in swing states.
This is a breaking story, and I’ll update it if more information becomes available!
