Shortly before the US elections, technology giant and billionaire businessman Elon Musk has launched a striking campaign. Musk is organizing a lottery for Republican voters who sign the petition of a political action group supporting Donald Trump, called America PAC. Through this lottery, 1 million dollars will be given to one selected person each day. The campaign will continue until the November 5th elections, and in total, Musk will have distributed 17 million dollars.
Musk’s Election Impact Strategy
The campaign’s first check was delivered by Musk at a rally in Pennsylvania to a lucky individual named John Dreher. Regarding this surprise reward, Musk made a humorous comment, ‘John had no idea about this. Anyway, you’re welcome.’
The focus of this campaign, Pennsylvania, is one of the critical states in US elections. Here, the election mechanism is not like in Turkey. In the US, the party that gets the most votes in a state wins all the representatives of that state. This system aims to boost the mobilization of Republican votes with Musk’s support, thereby having a decisive effect on election results.
This lottery, open to those who have signed the America PAC petition, specifically targets registered Republican voters in Pennsylvania. Musk’s move has sparked debates before the election and is receiving varied reactions from many quarters. With this strategy, Musk aims to encourage Republican voters to go to the polls and thereby influence the election outcomes.
