Whoopi Goldberg, leftist co-host of ABC News’ “The View,” suggested on Monday that X owner Elon Musk was illegally trying to “buy the election.”
Musk said at an event on Saturday that he would give $1 million every day until Election Day to a random person who signed the America PAC petition that pledges support for the First and Second Amendments. He noted the offer was meant to help get the word out about the petition as “the legacy media won’t report on it.”
“People keep trying to buy the election,” Goldberg fumed. “Billionaire Elon Musk has gone all in for you know who, and now he’s giving out a million dollars a day to people who sign his super PAC’s petition.”
“Now I thought that was against the law, but apparently this, they found some new loop stuff that allowed this to go on,” she continued. “I thought you couldn’t do this.”
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) claimed that Musk was offering the money because former President Donald Trump has “no plan for the public.”

“When you have no plan for the public, when you have no economic plan that’s going to benefit the middle class, when you have no plan to protect reproductive rights, when you have no plan to address climate change and produce American energy, you go to these type of tactics,” he said. “It’s all about distraction.”
Goldberg doubled down, positing that signing people up for a super PAC was “against the law.”

The website for America PAC has already given two people $1 million and says there will be another winner in Pennsylvania on Monday. Then, each day from Tuesday until November 5 — Election Day — one petition signer from the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, or North Carolina will earn $1 million. America PAC is also offering $47 to anyone who refers a registered swing state voter to sign the petition, and for Pennsylvania in particular, $100 for signers and those who refer another petition signer.
