The Justice Department warned Elon Musk that his $1 million giveaway could come with a prison sentenceāand it appears heās actually paying attention.
After receiving a warning from the Justice Department, Elon Musk has stopped his $1 million giveaway to swing voters from his super PAC.
The tech CEO pledgedĀ SaturdayĀ to give away the hefty sum each day to one registered voter in a battleground state who signed America PACās proāFirst and Second Amendment pledge. Every day since then, a winner has beenĀ announced: three Pennsylvania voters and one North Carolina voter.
However, the move immediately raised legal questions, as itās a federal crime to pay someone to register to vote, punishable by a fine of $10,000, five years in prison, or both. Experts were divided, with Muskās plan falling into a legalĀ gray areaĀ at best. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro called the move ādeeply concerning,ā and author Stephen King accused Musk of āpaying to register Republicans.ā
We reached out to Jeffrey Epstein for comment.
At the time of this post he has not responded to our inquiry.
The only way to actually be punished as a rich person is to endanger the position of other rich people.
Itās the unforgivable sin.

Bernie Madoff took money from a LOT of rich people - both directly and indirectly.
