Elon Musk’s million dollar giveaway sparks calls for investigation

Published

Billionaire Elon Musk’s promise to give away $1 million daily until Election Day raises concerns about legality and voter influence.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s announcement to give away $1 million each day until Election Day has sparked calls for an investigation, with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro urging law enforcement to examine the legality of Musk’s actions.

The giveaway, announced during a pro-Trump rally hosted by Musk’s America PAC in Harrisburg, is part of a broader effort to support Donald Trump’s presidential bid.

Musk handed a $1 million check to an attendee, John Dreher, and promised to continue the giveaways to those who sign an online petition supporting free speech and the right to bear arms.

To be eligible, signers must be registered voters in one of seven key swing states, including Pennsylvania.

Law enforcement

Governor Shapiro, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” called Musk’s actions “deeply concerning” and suggested that law enforcement investigate whether the giveaways violate federal laws prohibiting inducements to vote or register to vote.

Musk’s substantial financial backing for Trump’s campaign, including $75 million for America PAC, has raised eyebrows as his role in mobilizing voters becomes more prominent.

While Musk has become a vocal supporter of Republican causes, critics are questioning whether his giveaways cross legal lines.

As the November 5 election approaches, Musk’s actions are likely to face increased scrutiny, with potential legal ramifications looming.

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
