Elon Musk promises to award $1 million each day to a signer of his petition

Billionaire Elon Musk promised on Saturday (October 19, 2024) to give away $1 million each day until November’s election to someone who signs his online petition supporting the U.S. Constitution.

And he wasted no time, awarding a $1 million check to an attendee of his event in Pennsylvania aimed at rallying supporters behind Republican Donald Trump. The winner was a man named John Dreher, according to event staff.

“By the way, John had no idea. So anyway, you’re welcome,” the Tesla founder said as he handed Dreher the check.
