- Elon Musk gave a petition signer in Harrisburg a $1 million check.
- Musk vowed to do the same every day until the US election on November 5.
- The petition, released by his super PAC, aims to support free speech and the right to bear arms.
Elon Musk gave a $1 million check to a man who signed his petition to support free speech and the right to bear arms — and he's not stopping there.
Musk announced on X that he planned to give away $1 million to a random swing state resident who has signed the petition each day until the US election on November 5.
"We want to make sure that everyone in swing states hears about this and I suspect this will ensure they do," he wrote.
The tech billionaire kicked off the giveaways at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night, handing a $1 million check to a man in the audience named John Dreher.
"John had no idea," Musk said after asking Dreher to join him on stage. "Anyway, you're welcome."
"The only thing we ask for the $1 million is that you be a spokesperson for the petition, and that's it really," he added.
Speaking in a promotional video for the petition, Dreher said: "You know when he called me, the first thing that happened, you know, I screamed — it's a million dollars — and I was pumping my check in the air."
"Meeting Elon, I kind of forgot about the money for a little bit, since he's such an influential figure," he added.
It's not the first time Musk has offered a financial incentive for people to sign the petition.
Musk has previously offered $100 to registered Pennsylvania voters who signed up and $47 for swing state voter referrals.
The petition was launched by Musk's America PAC, a super PAC he created to support Trump using nearly $75 million of his own funds.
The PAC was created to "support candidates who champion Secure Borders, Sensible Spending, Safe Cities, Fair Justice System, Free Speech and Self-Protection," according to its bio on X.
Musk publicly endorsed Trump after an assassination attempt on the former president in July.
