North Carolina man wins $1 million in Elon Musk-backed petition sweepstakes
A man from Holly Springs, North Carolina, won $1 million for signing a petition supporting free speech and gun rights. The petition, backed by Elon Musk, is part of a sweepstakes running until November 5 in key battleground states. Each day, one signer from states like Pennsylvania and Georgia will win $1 million. The petition has surpassed one million signatures, leading to Andy Steinle's selection as the first winner, announced by Musk's political action committee. However, America PAC has been warned that the sweepstakes may violate federal law, which prohibits paying people to vote. The legality of the contest remains uncertain as it continues.
