Elon Musk gives random petition signer a $1M check as he announces million-dollar handouts in swing states

Elon Musk gave a $1 million check to a man who signed his petition to support free speech and the right to bear arms — and he's not stopping there.

Musk announced on X that he planned to give away $1 million to a random swing state resident who has signed the petition each day until the US election on November 5.

"We want to make sure that everyone in swing states hears about this and I suspect this will ensure they do," he wrote.

The tech billionaire kicked off the giveaways at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night, handing a $1 million check to a man in the audience named John Dreher.
