Elon Musk’s America PAC is reportedly offering $47 for every referral to and signature from a voter on his petition to support free speech and the Second Amendment. 

The offer is available to residents in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.

According to the website of the campaign, the "goal is to get 1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms." Musk has cited free speech and support for the Second Amendment as key reasons for his support for Donald Trump.

In an op-ed for the Daily Caller, Katie Baney, Chairman of the Board & Executive Director of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives Action Fund, wrote that "one sizable voter bloc that can and should significantly impact the elections is law-abiding gun owners" and that "the gap between Second Amendment advocates and detractors is growing wider by the day." Baney also further wrote that the Biden-Harris administration has called for "sweeping bans" on firearms that are the most common choices for home and self-defense.
