Summary

Two Pennsylvania voters, Austin Gwiazdowski and Jeanne Fermier, received $100 checks from Elon Musk’s pro-Trump “America PAC” despite not signing the PAC’s petition, which was required to qualify for payments.

The petition aimed to gather support for the First and Second Amendments and facilitate pro-Trump outreach.

Both voters expressed confusion and refused to cash the checks.

The PAC, funded by Musk, mailed 187,000 checks as part of efforts to boost Trump’s Pennsylvania support, while Musk’s political influence continues to rise.

    It’s not that you asked for a link, it’s your low effort way of asking that implies you are already skeptical of the information.

    “Hey! I googled to look for it and I’m having a hard time finding where it officially says the statute. Mind sharing a link?”

    They probably would have said “No problem. Let me google that for you. Here…”

      I’m not asking for me. I’m trying to let you know that you should always cite your sources. The link is something you should always provide when you quote something.
