Elon Musk has not only publicly expressed his support for Trump, but also contributed at least $70 million to the former president's campaign. Additionally, through his foundation America PAC, he has launched an unusual venture that offers financial incentives to increase voter engagement.

America PAC has pledged to give away $1 million to individuals who sign a petition in support of the first and the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. The foundation has also launched a voter registration tour in Pennsylvania, with the goal of mobilizing voters to support Trump, targeting other key states ahead of the election.
