Musk's Million-Dollar Daily Election Pledge Sparks Controversy

Elon Musk announced an ambitious pledge to distribute $1 million each day leading up to November's election, aiming to rally support for the U.S. Constitution through an online petition.

The initiative kicked off with Musk awarding $1 million to John Dreher at a Pennsylvania event aimed at boosting support for Republican Donald Trump. The move underscores Musk's increasing involvement in political fundraising and advocacy during the presidential race.

Musk's America PAC, a political action committee he founded, attempts to register voters in key states while facing challenges achieving its goals. The campaign highlights Musk's belief in Trump's ability to disrupt the status quo, contrasting with rival Kamala Harris.
