Emmanuel OchayiHarrisburg Event Unveils America PAC’s Big Initiative
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has made headlines once again, this time with a bold announcement that could make millionaires out of everyday Americans.

At the rally, Musk endorsed former President Donald Trump and announced the launch of the America PAC. Musk told the crowd, “We’re going to be awarding $1 million randomly to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election.”
This initiative, Musk explained, is designed to boost support for the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which are central to the America PAC’s platform. “The goal of the $1M/day prize is to maximise awareness of our petition to support the Constitution,” Musk shared on X, the platform he owns.
Petition Signers in Seven Battleground States Targeted
The America PAC, which Musk founded to support Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, focuses on seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Musk’s team is encouraging petition signers in these states to pledge their support for constitutional rights. According to the America PAC website, signers can also earn 47 for every voter they refer to sign the petition.

The committee’s primary focus is promoting issues like “secure borders, safe cities, free speech, sensible spending, a fair justice system, and self-protection,” according to the website. Musk’s efforts are aimed at helping Trump win back the White House by rallying voters in swing states through voter registration and turnout campaigns.
First Winner Celebrates $1 Million
At the Harrisburg event, Musk announced the first winner of the $1 million giveaway, John Dreher, a long-time fan of Musk’s work. Dreher was called up on stage to receive his prize and was visibly thrilled.
“Thanks, Elon, this is great. I’m really ecstatic!” Dreher exclaimed as he held a giant check for $1 million. Dreher, who had signed the petition earlier, said he had been a huge Musk fan for ten years and couldn’t believe his luck.
“When he called me, the first thing that happened was, you know, I screamed,” Dreher told reporters. “It was $1 million, and I was pumping my arms in the air. Actually meeting Elon, I kind of forgot about the money for a little bit.”
Elon Musk’s Growing Role in Trump’s Campaign
Musk’s America PAC isn’t just focused on the petition and giveaways. It also has a team working to increase voter registration and turnout in the battleground states. The America PAC offers $30 per hour for voter registration efforts, with additional performance bonuses.
Musk’s influence in Trump’s campaign has been growing. In early September, Trump announced that if he wins back the presidency, Musk would be in charge of a Government Efficiency Commission aimed at streamlining federal operations. Musk has yet to comment on what specific policies he would pursue in this role, but his financial and political support has made him a key figure in Trump’s bid for re-election.
Looking Forward: A Daily $1 Million Prize
As Election Day approaches, Musk’s daily $1 million giveaway is sure to keep attention on the America PAC and its petition. Whether this strategy will translate into votes for Trump remains to be seen, but Musk is determined to make an impact.
With the daily giveaway continuing until Election Day, Elon Musk’s America PAC is likely to stay in the headlines. “We want to ensure that everyone knows what’s at stake in this election,” Musk wrote on X. The billionaire’s bold approach signals a unique mix of tech, politics, and large-scale philanthropy as the 2024 election race intensifies.
