C'mon, do you really think ol' Elon’s handing out all that cash, day after day?

Elon Musk's plan to give $1 million each day to a random registered"swing state" voter who has signed his election petition could merit a look for election law violations, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro said over the weekend."in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms" was handed out at a rally in Harrisburg, PA.

"Musk has a right to express his views," Shapiro said during the interview, adding that the level of money Musk is injecting into politics - and voters' wallets - is worth a look. Shapiro wouldn't state outright whether he thought Musk's election lottery rose to the level of an election law violation, however.

While that's not directly buying a vote, so much as buying an apology, it still treads a legal gray area only the brave, foolhardy and ultra-rich are willing to wade into, and Cards Against Humanity didn't answer questions for that story about the legality of its initiative. We reached back out to Cards Against Humanity to see whether the campaign attracted the attention of election law officials, but didn't hear back this time, either.
