Elon Musk’s $1 million prize money is illegal if you aren’t registered to vote: What can law enforcement can do about it?

“I don’t think it would be likely that he would suffer such a serious fine,” Hasen said of Musk. “Although, if he was warned that this is illegal activity and continued to do it, I think that would create a different kind of situation.”

“I think it’s something that law enforcement should take a look at,” Shapiro said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “I’m not the attorney general anymore of Pennsylvania, I’m the governor, but it does raise serious questions.”

According to Rick Hasen, the $1 million prizes are clearly illegal if people aren’t registered to vote. He points out that anyone who pays or offers to pay can face a fine of up to $10,000 or 5 years in prison if they are found guilty. There are also other legally dubious aspects of the pledge, include bonuses for signers and for getting others to sign it.

Elon Musk — the billionaire tech founder and supporter of former President Donald Trump — is giving away $1 million to a Pennsylvanian each day until Nov. 5. Two people have already won the prize money after signing Musk’s America PAC petition backing the Constitution.

VP Harris, VP Shapiro, and the Possibility of a Plot Sweestakes on a Pennsylvania Governor’s Face

Hasen said that you must be a registered voter to look at the conditions. “And so this is essentially a lottery that’s open only to people who register to vote. It can either be an incentive to vote or a reward. Either way, it violates federal law.

Richard Hasen, a professor at UCLA, said that there’s nothing illegal about a petition sweepstakes on its face. But a closer look raises red flags for him.

Josh Shapiro, the current Pennsylvania Governor, used to be the state’s attorney general. VP Harris has a surrogate for him, as well as another one.
