Summary
Two Pennsylvania voters, Austin Gwiazdowski and Jeanne Fermier, received $100 checks from Elon Musk’s pro-Trump “America PAC” despite not signing the PAC’s petition, which was required to qualify for payments.
The petition aimed to gather support for the First and Second Amendments and facilitate pro-Trump outreach.
Both voters expressed confusion and refused to cash the checks.
The PAC, funded by Musk, mailed 187,000 checks as part of efforts to boost Trump’s Pennsylvania support, while Musk’s political influence continues to rise.
Nothing could make me happier than the opportunity to take a hundred bucks from Musk that he himself accidentally sent to me.
Alright, plenty of things could make me happier. But it would still make me pretty happy.
Just as likely he’s now sending a pittance to other people in order to say he wasn’t targeting a group. You can send out a LOT of hundred dollar bills before you approach a billion.
