Lucky One Gets $1 Million

The recipient, John Dreher, was handed the $1 million cheque by Musk. He said, "By the way, John had no idea. So anyway, you're welcome."

In his speech, the tech billionaire announced that his political group, America PAC, will be giving away $1 million each day leading up to the November 5 election. Musk established America PAC to support Trump’s presidential campaign, focusing on mobilizing and registering voters in key states. According to federal filings, he has contributed at least $75 million to America PAC, making it a vital player in Trump's effort to secure the presidency.

Previously, the SpaceX founder offered $47 to each registered voter in the U.S. who could bring in others to sign his petition advocating for free speech and the right to bear arms. Gun rights continue to be a contentious issue in the United States, with some advocating for easier access to firearms, while others express concerns about the dangers they may pose to public and personal safety.
