Elon Musk, the world's richest man, recently awarded $1 million to a Trump supporter, Kristine Fishell, during an event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 20. Musk has pledged to randomly give $1 million daily to those who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights, as part of America PAC’s efforts backing Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. This initiative will continue until the U.S. election on November 5.

Musk’s prize giveaway has drawn attention, although some experts warn it may violate federal laws prohibiting payments to voters. Nonetheless, attendees seemed unconcerned, focusing instead on Musk's vocal support for Trump and his plans to donate $75 million to America PAC. Musk hinted at his desire for a role in Trump's administration if he wins re-election.

During the event, Fishell thanked Musk, not only for the money but also for his dedication to free speech. The prize has attracted many to sign the petition, hoping for a chance to become millionaires.

While some voiced concerns about potential conflicts of interest given Musk's extensive government contracts, others saw his actions as defending the rights of Americans. Musk reiterated his support for Trump and raised doubts about the integrity of the electoral process, echoing claims from Trump’s campaign.

The event was marked by enthusiastic support for Musk, although some participants left before it concluded. Musk departed without addressing questions from the media.
