Billionaire Elon Musk declared on Saturday evening during a Trump campaign event in Pennsylvania that he will grant $1 million to one individual each day leading up to Election Day. Musk, who expressed his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after an incident in July, established the America PAC following the former president’s rally in Butler earlier in October. The owner of X (previously known as Twitter) and founder of SpaceX conducted a rally in Harrisburg, where he announced the inaugural winner of the America PAC’s $1 million giveaway for petition signers.

Musk’s political action committee (PAC) focuses on seven key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The committee includes a petition that expresses support for the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. According to the official website of America PAC, individuals who sign the petition can earn $47 for each registered voter they refer to sign.

The initial fortunate signer of the petition, John Dreher, rejoiced in his seven-figure windfall when he was invited to the stage by Musk.

“Thanks Elon, this is great. I’m really ecstatic!” Dreher expressed while displaying a substantial $1 million check. He informed Musk that he had been a devoted admirer for a decade. The official X account of America PAC showcased the first winner in a video aimed at promoting the petition.

“When he called me, the first thing that happened was, you know, I screamed and, it was $1 million and I was pumping my check in the air, pumping my arms in the air,” Dreher said, describing his experience meeting Musk. “Actually meeting Elon, I kind of forgot about the money for a little bit.”

The America PAC champions values including “secure borders, safe cities, free speech, sensible spending, a fair justice system and self-protection,” according to its website.
