How the America PAC (Elon Musk) worked?

[kentuck]

From Google:

To have a chance of receiving a $1 million prize from Elon Musk's political action committee, America PAC, registered voters in certain swing states had to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments
.
Here's how the giveaway worked:

Petition: America PAC circulated a petition supporting free speech and the right to bear arms. Registered voters in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin could sign the petition.
Selection Process: While initially presented as a random sweepstakes, Musk's lawyers later stated that winners were hand-selected based on their suitability to serve as spokespeople for America PAC. These individuals signed a contract to serve in this role.
Prize: One person was awarded $1 million daily until the 2024 presidential election.

edit: More from the Google:
This giveaway faced legal challenges and accusations of being a voter manipulation tactic.
Critics argued that the promotion could potentially violate laws against paying people to register to vote.
America PAC's lawyers claimed the recipients were compensated for serving as spokespeople and not chosen by chance.

It is important to note that the legality of these actions was questioned, and lawsuits were filed
